Abstract

Infrared thermography is a noninvasive test that detects the extent of functional, nervous and vascular changes through high resolution thermal imaging. Objective: This technique provides an assessment of acute and chronic pain by increasing and decreasing the microcirculation of the affected region recorded. Subjects and methods: This paper aims to conduct a systematic review study, through the compilation of published articles in the literature about infrared thermography and its relation to dentistry. A systematic review covering a search of electronic databases and international websites was held. Studies regarding the use of infrared thermography in dentistry from 1998 to 2013 were considered eligible. The quality of published papers was evaluated by the JADAD scale. Conclusions: Thus, it is expected to contribute to the expansion of knowledge about infrared thermography as part of dentistry, in their different specialties.
