Publication number: 20230049019Abstract: An intraoral x-ray system mountable to a dentist’s office wall including components movable to compensate for defects in the wall’s flatness or the wall not being sufficiently perpendicular to the floor. The system also includes monitoring and compensation capabilities to compensate for drift in the position of the system’s x-ray source or patient movement before and during x-ray imaging, thereby avoiding the need for the taking of additional x-ray images and exposing the patient unnecessarily to extra x-ray dose. Additionally, the system further includes a data/signal processing unit that allows the x-ray source to be precisely moved along a predetermined trajectory and allows the system to perform computed tomosynthesis examinations of a patient. In addition, the x-ray source is attachable/detachable from the system’s robotic arm, with the system compensating automatically for the change in weight at the robotic arm’s end due to removal of the x-ray source.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2020Publication date: February 16, 2023Inventors: Jean-Marc INGLESE, David ROUDERGUES, Arnaud CAPRI, Subramanyan KRISHNAMOORTHY, Vincent LOUSTAUNEAU

Patent number: 11006835Abstract: An exemplary optical apparatus has an OCT imaging apparatus with a first light source for low coherence light of wavelengths above a threshold wavelength and a signal detector that obtains an interference signal between low coherence light from the sample and low coherence light reflected from a reference. A surface contour imaging apparatus has a second light source that emits one or more wavelengths of surface illumination below the threshold wavelength, a camera to acquire images from illumination reflected from the sample. The exemplary optical apparatus and/or exemplary methods for using the same can provide reduced errors in generating a dental 3D surface mesh.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2018Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Inventors: Jean-Marc Inglese, Yannick Glinec, Eamonn Boyle, Eric Vermelle, Marianne Belcari, Arnaud Capri, Victor C.

Publication number: 20210038324Abstract: Method and apparatus embodiments can acquire and update a 3-D surface of a dentition in real time by replacing the corresponding portion of the 3-D surface of the dentition with the contents of newly acquired 3-D image. In certain embodiments, the position of the 3-D scanning device relative to the 3-D surface of the dentition can be determined in real time by comparing the size and the shape of the overlap to the cross-section of the field-of-view of the 3-D scanning device, where the size and the shape of the overlap of the newly acquired 3-D image is used to determine the distance and the angles from which the 3-D image was acquired relative to the 3-D surface of the dentition.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2020Publication date: February 11, 2021Inventors: Jean-Marc Inglese, Eamonn Boyle, Arnaud Capri, Yannick Glinec
