Abstract

Devices including sleeves, intraoral scanning systems using these sleeves, and methods of using sleeves that authenticate the sleeves for use with the intraoral scanning system. Authentication can include verifying that the sleeve is new (unused) and / or verifying that the sleeve is suitable and / or intended for use with the intraoral scanning system. Once authenticated, operating parameters of the intraoral scanning system can be automatically set based on information from the identification scanned on the sleeve.
