  • Patent number: 12262975
    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.

  • Patent number: 12156784
    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.

  • Patent number: 12011336
    Abstract: A tomography convergence-type oral scanner includes an oral scanning unit comprising a projector including a first light source for generating visible light, and a camera for generating image data by receiving the visible light reflected from a tooth; an optical tomography scanning unit comprising an OCT body including a second light source that has a different wavelength from the first light source and generates a measurement light incident on the tooth, a beam splitter for splitting the measurement light into a reference light and a measurement light, a reference mirror that reflects the reference light, and a photodetector for detecting an interference light, and an OCT scan probe including a collimator for converting the measurement light into a parallel light and a MEMS mirror for reflecting the converted parallel light; and a dichroic mirror for transmitting the visible light and reflecting the parallel light, thereby irradiating a tooth to be measured.

  • Publication number: 20230263395
    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 and detecting reflected light; 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 tomographic images of the oral structure at two or more positions, obtain two or more two-dimensional cross-sectional images of the oral structure, extract an abrasion or filling area for the respective two-dimensional cross-sectional images, calculate cross-sectional position information of the abrasion or filling area, then arrange the position information of the abrasion or filling area, and obtain three-dimensional shape information of the abrasion or filling area.

  • Publication number: 20210330575
    Abstract: A composition for skin whitening and wrinkle improvement includes an adventitious root extract of Centella asiatica as an effective ingredient. The adventitious root extract of Centella asiatica has an excellent anti-inflammation and antioxidant activity without any cytotoxicity and also has an excellent effect of inhibiting the melanin pigmentation and matrix metalloprotease and enhancing the production of procollagen as a precursor of collagen. Accordingly, it can be advantageously used as a cosmetic, a preparation for external application on skin, or the like for skin whitening and wrinkle improvement.
