  • Publication number: 20240090772
    Abstract: An intraoral device (100) for determining oral health characteristics is provided. The device includes a light source (106) configured to emit light in a plurality of wavelengths within or about the oral cavity and a matrix array multispectral sensor (102) configured to detect a plurality of spectral channels of a spectral image. Each of the plurality of spectral channels may allow transmission of a corresponding wavelength. The device may include a processor (1100) configured to identify the detected plurality of spectral channels of the spectral image relating to the oral cavity. Based on the detected plurality of spectral channels, the processor may cause the light source to adjust the light emitted within or about the oral cavity to modify a signal to noise ratio and/or an image calibration of a subsequent spectral image. The matrix array multispectral sensor may capture the subsequent spectral image relating the oral cavity in the adjusted emitted light.
