Such techniques, like the laser Doppler or the pletismography do not let us express a prognostic verdict on eventual risks with tropic damages, which are instead valued directly on realistic times with the aid of oral capillary copy, of whose use has permitted new morphological and functional acquisitions. The un harmful, no-invocatory and easily repeatable test and its moderate cost, also allows us to monitor and up-date the future state of peripheral vasculopathies, as well as the efficiency of the medicines which have possibly been used
