Abstract: An intraoral scanning system that includes a housing and a sleeve. The housing includes optical components, a head, and a defogging unit that includes a heating unit. The head includes a primary aperture and is configured to be inserted into an oral cavity of a patient. The sleeve includes a secondary optical component arranged at a secondary aperture that is configured to be positioned in alignment with the primary aperture when the sleeve is coupled with the housing. The heating unit is configured to generate heat in response to application of electrical power to the heating unit. When the sleeve is coupled with the housing, the secondary optical component is configured to be arranged such that the generated heat is transferred from the heating unit to the secondary optical component through thermal conduction between the heating unit and secondary optical component.

Abstract: A device for scanning a human intra-cavity, including a housing including a part connected to the housing, the part dimensioned for being inserted into said human intra-cavity, a single mounting-interface on the housing, the single mounting-interface configured to removably mount an internal power supply unit for powering the device from an internal power supply within the internal power supply unit, or an external power supply unit for powering the device from an external power supply outside the external power supply unit, the device configured for being changed between two power-operation modes.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a wireless scanning device, including: a scanning housing, including: an image detector configured for acquiring 2D-images at a first 2D-frame-rate; and one or more processor(s) coupled to the image detector such that the 2D-images can be processed by the processor(s) to form processed data; a wireless module being coupled to the processor(s) such that the wireless module receives the processed data from the processor(s) and wirelessly transmits the processed data.
