Abstract: An intraoral scanner having a tomographic imaging function includes an OCT body configured to obtain an internal cross-sectional image of an oral structure; an OCT scan probe configured to irradiate the layer measurement light emitted from the OCT body onto the oral structure and transfer the reflected light to the OCT body; and a control/processing unit configured to control the OCT body, take a tomographic image of the oral structure, obtain two or more two-dimensional cross-sectional images, extract an internal crack area for the respective two-dimensional cross-sectional images, calculate cross-sectional position information of the internal crack, then arrange the position information of the internal crack obtained from the respective two-dimensional cross-sectional images in positions where the respective two-dimensional cross-sectional images have been obtained, and obtain three-dimensional shape information of the internal crack.

Abstract: An intraoral scanner having a tomography function capable of setting a tomography area using shape information of an oral cavity includes a shape measurement light projector that irradiates shape measurement light for obtaining a shape image of an oral structure; a shape measurement camera that obtains a surface shape image of the oral structure by detecting reflected light; an optical coherence tomography (OCT) body that transmits tomography measurement light to the oral structure and detect reflected light to obtain an internal cross-sectional image of the oral structure; an OCT scan probe that irradiates the tomography measurement light emitted from the OCT body onto a desired position of the oral structure and transfer the reflected light to the OCT body; and a beam splitter that superimposes optical paths of the shape measurement light irradiated from the shape measurement light projector and the tomography measurement light irradiated from the OCT scan probe.

Abstract: The present inventive concept relates to a method for obtaining a subgingival marginal shape for a prosthesis design non-invasively by means of an optical coherence tomography (OCT) scanner for obtaining a subgingival marginal shape and an intraoral scanner for obtaining a tooth surface shape, the method including the steps of: obtaining a surface shape of a prepared tooth by means of the intraoral scanner; obtaining the subgingival marginal shape (crown margin line) of the prepared tooth by means of the OCT scanner; and merging the surface shape of the prepared tooth with the subgingival marginal shape to obtain a final three-dimensional shape of the prepared tooth.

Abstract: The present inventive concept relates to an optical coherence tomography (OCT)-based intraoral scanner calibration device including: a light source; an optical coupler for splitting the path of light irradiated from the light source in first light and second light; a reference part for generating reference light from the first light split by the optical coupler; a sample part for generating measurement light from the second light split by the optical coupler; and a signal generator for generating an OCT image from the reference light and the measurement light.
