Improved Dental Mirror Cleaner
A dental mirror cleaner that utilizes a spray of high pressure water and air at an angle across the reflective face of a dental mirror while in a patient’s mouth to clean debris, blood and condensation from the mirror. It redirects the flow of the water and or air away from the centerline or linear axis of the mirror handle and sprays it offset from this centerline in a hemispherical pattern at an approximate 35 to 45 degree angle across the mirrored face.

DENTAL MIRROR STRUCTURE CAPABLE OF SPRAYING AIR
A dental mirror structure contains a body and a connector. The body includes an inspector, a connection segment, and a first air conduit. The inspector includes a lens, and the first air conduit has an inlet and an outlet adjacent to the lens. The connector is hollow and columnar, and the connector includes a second air conduit defined on a center thereof, a connection portion extending from a first end of the connector, a first stem extending from the connection portion, a second stem extending from a second end of the connector, and a fixing extension extending from the second end of the connector and surrounding the second stem. Thereby, the first stem is connected with an air supply element, the second stem is fitted with the inlet the body, and the fixing extension is connected with the connection segment.

Visual loupes with point of view modification
A device can include glasses including one or more lenses that permit a wearer a broad view of the environment from a first perspective and contact members having one or more contact-surfaces formed to secure the glasses to a head of the wearer while the wearer is wearing the device. The device can include one or more loupes, each loupe including a redirection member structured to redirect image light that is received by the loupe; one or more magnifying members structured to magnify the image light; a viewport structured to allow passage of the magnified image light. The loupe is secured through one of the lenses such that the magnified image light is presented though the viewport to an eye of the wearer while the wearer is wearing the device.
Systems and methods for remote dental monitoring
An intraoral imaging system comprising an intraoral adapter. The intraoral adapter may be operably coupled to a mobile device. The intraoral adapter may comprise an elongated housing comprising a viewing channel. The viewing channel may define a field of view of an intraoral region of a subject's mouth for intraoral scanning using a camera of a mobile device. The elongated housing may comprise a flange that is positioned outside of the field of view of the intraoral region of the subject's mouth. The intraoral imaging system may further comprise an image processing unit configured to (i) process a plurality of intraoral images and/or videos captured using the camera of the mobile device, and (ii) determine a dental condition of the subject based at least in part on the plurality of intraoral images and/or videos.

DENTAL EVACUATION TIP WITH MOUNT FOR DENTAL MOUTH MIRROR
A dental evacuation tip has a body defining an interior passageway extending along a length of the body, and proximal and distal openings to the interior passageway, The proximal and distal openings are spaced apart from one another along the length of the body. The dental evacuation tip is configured so that a mirror apparatus can be removably connected to the dental evacuation tip so that at least a portion of a rod of the mirror apparatus is positioned in the interior passageway and a mirror of the mirror apparatus is proximate the distal opening.
DEVICE AND METHOD FOR SUBGINGIVAL MEASUREMENT
A method for measuring regions of a tooth in a mouth including: measuring at least one surface point on a surface of the tooth with respect to an element mechanically coupled to said surface point; determining a location of at least one visible reference mechanically coupled to said surface point with respect to said element; estimating a location of said surface point with respect to said visible reference. A device used for such measuring may include a main body comprising a final optical element of an imager which defines an optical field of view directed in a first direction; and a measurement element coupled to said main body extending generally in said first direction; where a tip of said measurement element is sized and shaped to be inserted between a tooth and adjacent gingiva; where said optical field of view is sized to image at least part of a tooth.
