Abstract: Provided is an adapter which is specifically configured for selectively maneuvering a distil tip of a scaler in close proximity to an endoscope tip of an endoscope. The adapter comprises a scaler holder and an endoscope holder. The scaler holder is configured to support the scaler. The endoscope holder is connected to the scaler holder and is configured to moveably support the endoscope. The adapter further comprises a thumbwheel which eccentrically couples the endoscope holder to the scaler holder such that rotation of the thumbwheel effectuates rotation of the endoscope tip about the distil tip of the scaler.

Abstract: Provided is a dental imaging system comprising a support frame, an imaging device and a display device. The support frame may include an upright portion mounted upon a base portion which may be portably or stationarily mounted. The imaging device is integrally mounted to the support frame as is the display device. The display device is conductively connected to the imaging device and is preferably configured to display images produced by the imaging device. The dental imaging system is adapted for endoscopic viewing of subgingival anatomy in a unitary structure to minimize space limitations of dental facilities.
