A tip for an optical scanner, where said tip includes a framework and an optical element. For some configurations the optical element is releasable attaching to the framework by a holding means of the tip. For some configurations the tip framework is formed in two materials of different thermal conductivities.

Provided is an image capturing device for capturing an image of a target. The image capturing device includes: a tubular portion including an optical component and configured to receive light from the target; a housing including an electronic component configured to process the light received from the tubular portion; a cap covering at least a part of the tubular portion; and a blower mounted in the housing and configured to supply air to at least one of the cap and the optical component included in the tubular portion. The cap and the part of the tubular portion covered by the cap define an air-feeding path configured to pass the air supplied from the blower.

The present disclosure relates to an image capturing device configured to capture an image of a target. The image capturing device includes a probe and a housing. The probe includes an optical component and is configured to receive light from the target. The housing includes electronic components each configured to process the light received from the probe. Moreover, the housing includes an air sending unit, and a controller configured to control driving of the air sending unit. The air sending unit is provided at a position above the electronic components in the housing when a user holds the housing during utilization of the image capturing device, and is configured to supply air to the optical component provided in the probe.

The invention relates to a dental mirror suction device (10) for suctioning liquids and particles from an oral cavity of a patient, with a tubular hollow base body (12) having an inner surface (14), an outer surface (16), a longitudinal axis (X-X), a connection opening (18) for a hose, and a suction opening (20). The inner surface (14) has a mirror-coated surface (24) which is viewable through the suction opening (20) and which is arranged such that the oral cavity is viewable at least in some portions. The mirror suction device (10) is configured as a disposable mirror suction device.

A dental instrument with a substantially hollow body is attached to a flexible tube and the flexible tube is attached to the supply outlet of a standard air-water syringe at the dentist's workstation. A locking mechanism may be placed in a first position, with the water supply button of the air-water syringe being essentially disengaged and with the air supply button being unaffected. The locking mechanism may then be rotated from the first position to a second position and the raised portion of the locking mechanism being positioned over the air supply button, thereby locking the air supply button in the on position. With the air supply button locked in the on position, the air supply from the air-water syringe is delivered through the flexible tubing, through the hollow body of the dental instrument, and then directed across the face of the mirrored surface of the dental instrument.
