An intra oral scanner (IOS) including a probe is disclosed. Optionally, the probe is calibrated to measure locations at a higher accuracy than the IOS. For example, the probe may be used to locate points in a 3D map at high precision and/or the points used to increase the precision of location of other points and/or surfaces in the map. In some embodiments, the probe includes a sensor. Optionally, the probe may be used to measure locations that are hard to view with the IOS. For example, the IOS probe combination may be used to produce 3D maps of a recess in a tooth and/or gums and/or a periodontal pocket and/or to traduce a 3D map or periodontal disease. In some embodiments the probe may be used to measure physical properties, for example, the IOS probe combination may be used to produce a 3D image of hardness of mucosa.

A device, method, and system are provided for treating the oral cavity. The device includes a mouthpiece suitable for implementing a dental treatment, wherein the mouthpiece includes one or more stock elastomeric dental cover layers suitable for forming and maintaining a treatment cavity having a vacuum fluid seal, wherein the dental cover layers includes a layer over all the surfaces of the upper teeth and surrounding gums and/or a layer over all the surfaces of the lower teeth and surrounding gums, wherein each of the layers includes one or more hardened rigid or semi-rigid sections for enabling selected and/or differential collapsibility of the cover layers when exposed to vacuum pressure; and one or more treatment supply layers, and one or more flow channels in fluid communication with the treatment cavity so that the treatment supply layer can deliver and/or remove one or more treatment fluids from the one or more fluid sealed treatment cavities.

A dental prophy angle reduces the ejection of blood, dental polish, and saliva from a patient's mouth during a dental procedure. The dental prophy angle includes a drive head with an airflow generator is positioned within the drive head. The airflow generator produces an airflow pattern that exits from the drive head. A prophy cup is attached to the drive head. The airflow pattern travels over the outer surface of the prophy cup. The air flow pattern reduces the amount of material that builds up on the outer surface of the prophy cup, thereby reducing the ejection of material from the patient's mouth. In certain embodiments, the prophy cup is transparent to enable a dental practitioner to visualize the prophy paste within the prophy cup.

An oral care appliance in which a cleaning agent is injected from a supply tank and a method for use of such an appliance in oral care for the teeth of one or two arches using a mouthpiece is disclosed herein.
