The invention provides a disposable dental mirror tool combined with a disposable suction means, enabling simultaneously viewing the patient's mouth and cleaning liquids and debris formed during dental procedures.

An oral screening device having a replaceable screening head is provided that comprises a screening head provided with a camera module and a handle from which the screening head is detachable. The camera module is disposed in the screening head. The handle is provided with a control unit disposed in the handle. The control unit is provided with a controller electrically coupled with the camera module. Through this design of the present invention, easy replacement of the screening head is achieved.

An intraoral scanner includes a device body and a connection portion. The device body has a heat-dissipating structure and a first electrical connection port. The connection portion is detachably connected to the device body and includes a second electrical connection port and a fan. The second electrical connection port is electrically connected to the first electrical connection port. The fan generates an airflow that flows through the heat-dissipating structure.

A digital dental tray system is described including a dental tray shaped to at least partially surround a plurality of teeth and a plurality of three-dimensional (3D) optical imaging elements attached to the dental tray. Each of the 3D optical imaging elements comprises a structured light projector to project a light pattern onto one or more teeth of the plurality of teeth and a camera to capture an image of the one or more teeth.

A dental mirror sucker (10) for extracting liquids and particles from an oral cavity of a patient, having a hollow base body (12), which has an outer surface (16), an inner surface (14), a longitudinal axis (X-X) and a suction opening (20), wherein the inner surface (14) has a mirror (22) which can be observed through the suction opening (20) and the base body (12) is formed from a first base body part (32) and a second base body part (34), which are connected to each other. The mirror sucker (10) is characterized in that the mirror (22) is held in a mirror receptacle (48) of the first base body part (32) having an opening (28), the inner wall (30) of which forms an upper support shoulder (40), which contacts an outer wall (36) of the mirror (24), wherein the upper support shoulder (40) is formed by the first base body part (32) and encloses the entire outer circumference of the mirror (22); the opening (28) of the first base body part (34) tapers from a base body bottom side (42) in the direction of the suction opening (20) and has a diameter on the side thereof facing the base body bottom side (42) which is larger than the diameter of the mirror (22); and the two base body parts (32, 34) are connected to each other without a gap such that together they form the base body (12) in one piece.

A tip assembly for an intraoral scanner includes a tip support body having a first end, a second, opposite end, and an outer surface located between the first end and the second end. The outer surface defines at least one protrusion or recess. The tip assembly further includes a disposable, flexible mirror strip having a first end, a second, opposite end, and a mirror fixed to the second end. The flexible mirror strip defines at least one protrusion or recess that engages the at least one protrusion or recess of the tip support body to releasably couple the flexible mirror strip to the tip support body. The tip assembly further includes a tip sleeve having a first end and a second, opposite end. The tip sleeve is sized and shaped to slide over at least a portion of both the tip support body and the flexible mirror strip.
