In various examples, a dental and medical loupe system for lighting control, streaming, and augmented reality (AR) assisted procedures is provided. Facial recognition algorithms and/or inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensors may be used to determine when a light disposed on eye-glasses of a wearer should be activated. As a result, instead of requiring a medical practitioner to manually turn on and off the light source, facial recognition may be used to determine when the dentist is looking toward a face of a patient, and to turn on the light when a face is present and off when a face is not present. In addition, some examples leverage augmented reality (AR) functionality to overlay patient and procedure information on one or more lenses of eye-glasses worn by a practitioner to allow for an un-occluded view of the actual location where the procedure is being performed.

The present invention provides a light beam dental hand piece with measuring scale for assisting depth and angle measurement comprising a hand piece main body and a measuring scale. The hand piece main body comprises a hand piece head, a joint section and a holding section; wherein an calibration head is provided under the hand piece head which can emit a beam. The joint section is connected to the hand piece head and the holding section. The measuring scale is disposed on a surface of the hand piece head, and perpendicular or parallel to the light beam. Therefore, the light beam dental hand piece with measuring scale for assisting depth and angle measurement provides the dentist with a clear indication of the measuring scale when drilling or grinding, to avoid the problem of excessive or insufficient drilling depth, so as to achieve the stability of the dental implant after the operation; and can avoid damage to body tissues due to incorrect positioning.

A system for performing a dental procedure includes a hand piece having a robot arm that extends along a first axis, and a medical tool coupled with a distal end of the robot arm. The system includes a first gimbal coupled with the robot arm for rotating the robot arm and the medical tool about the first axis, a second gimbal coupled with the robot arm for tilting the medical tool up and down relative to the first axis, and a third gimbal coupled with the robot arm for moving the medical tool up and down along a second axis that is perpendicular to the first axis. The hand piece includes a turret that supports the robot arm and rotates within a plane that is perpendicular to the second axis. The system has a first motor coupled with the first shaft for extending and retracting the first shaft along the first axis, a second motor coupled with the first shaft for rotating the first shaft around the first axis, a third motor coupled with the panning linkage for moving he first shaft to the left and the right within the plane that is perpendicular to the second axis, a fourth motor coupled with the second shaft for extending and retracting the second shaft along the first axis, and a fifth motor coupled with the third shaft for extending and retracting the third shaft along the first axis.

The present invention relates to methods for curing polymeric dental appliances comprised of partially cured photopolymerizable components, especially for additively manufactured denture base and artificial tooth components utilized in the production of full and partial dental prostheses. In particular, the invention relates to methods of utilizing a curing apparatus having one or more controllable heating sources and one or more controllable LED light sources to achieve specific preheating and light curing conditions for more effectively converting partially cured photopolymerizable components from a partially cured state to a final cured state.

A light curing dental system comprising a light emitting tray that precisely distributes an optimal amount of curing light energy to internal, external and extra oral portions of the dental arch to cure a dental material. The light curing dental system generally includes a light source, a light emitting dental tray, an activation module and a photocurable dental material.

An oral treatment device that emits electromagnetic radiation onto surfaces of a user's teeth. The oral treatment device may include an intraoral mouthpiece and a handle extending therefrom, the handle containing the control circuitry required for operation of the device. The mouthpiece may include a lamp support structure, a lamp, a lens plate, and a guard component. The lamp may include an electromagnetic radiation source that includes a flexible sheet and a plurality of illumination elements located thereon. The illumination elements may be light emitting diodes printed with an electrically conductive. Additional electronic components such as a processor and a power source may also be included in the device.

A method for intraoral scanning, including introducing an intraoral scanner (IOS) head into an oral cavity, acquiring an image of a field of view (FOV), processing the acquired FOV image and adjusting at least one image acquisition parameter based on said processing, and an intraoral scanner (IOS) including an IOS head including at least one imager imaging a field of view (FOV), at least on light emitter that illuminates said FOV and circuitry that controls said imager and/or said light emitter.

An intraoral imaging device comprises an elongated structural element; one or more light sources mounted on the structural element and configured to illuminate a target intraoral structure; one or more sensors mounted on the structural element and configured to detect the light returned from the illuminated target intraoral structure in order to generate an image; and a light absorbing divider dividing each of the light sources from an adjacent sensor and configured to obstruct direct emission of the light from the one or more light sources to the adjacent sensor.

A dental light comprises at least one light emitting diode light source configured to produce a light beam and at least one collimating lens system situated to receive the light beam. The collimating lens system is configured to collect and collimate the light beam. The collimating lens system can additionally modify the beam through controlled diffusion or shape the beam using an aperture.

The present invention relates to dental instruments having video capabilities. Specifically, the present invention relates to a dental instrument having a video camera for viewing a user's or patient's mouth when utilizing the dental instrument. More specifically, the dental instrument provides video output to a wireless device, such as a smart phone, tablet computer or other like computer. Methods of using the same are further provided.
