Intraoral scanner

Abstract

The invention relates to an intraoral scanner, which comprises a scanner main machine and an endoscope head, wherein the scanner main machine is detachably connected with the endoscope head; the scanner main machine comprises a port which is connected with the endoscope head; a first coupling head and a second coupling head are arranged at the port of the scanner main machine; the endoscope head comprises a first end and a second end, which are arranged oppositely; the first end of the endoscope head is connected with the scanner main machine; an opening is formed in the second end of the endoscope head; an electric connection plate, which can be matched with the first coupling head and the second coupling head is arranged at the first end of the endoscope head; when the endoscope head is positively arranged on the scanner main machine, the first coupling head is in contact with the electric connection plate to supply electricity to the endoscope head and to transfer a signal; and when the endoscope head is reversely arranged on the scanner main machine, the second coupling head is in contact with the electric connection sheet to supply the electricity to the endoscope head and to transfer the signal.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of three-dimensional scanners, in particular to an intraoral scanner. Background technique [0002] Typically, dental treatment is performed by an impression procedure in which a plaster model of a patient's teeth is taken in a dental office or similar. However, this impression process may be accompanied by various problems such as consumption of impression material, cross-contamination, breakage of the assembled model, etc. [0003] Therefore, the two-dimensional pattern of teeth is formed by radiating radiation, which has the disadvantages of exposing the patient to a large amount of radiation and poor precision. Then, three-dimensional dental scanners were developed and widely used. There is a problem in the current 3D dental scanner: the scanning direction of the dental speculum head cannot be changed. In other words, compared with the entire 3D dental scanner, the opening orientation of the dental spe...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

There is a problem with the current 3D dental scanner: the scanning direction of the dental speculum head cannot be changed. In other words, compared with the entire 3D dental scanner, the opening orientation of the dental speculum head scanning port is fixed and cannot be changed at will.

However, human teeth are divided into upper and lower jaws, so the whole tooth needs to be turned over during the scanning process, which makes it extremely inconvenient to scan the teeth and greatly affects the efficiency and accuracy of tooth scanning.
