An intraoral scanning system that includes a housing and a sleeve. The housing includes optical components, a head, and a defogging unit that includes a heating unit. The head includes a primary aperture and is configured to be inserted into an oral cavity of a patient. The sleeve includes a secondary optical component arranged at a secondary aperture that is configured to be positioned in alignment with the primary aperture when the sleeve is coupled with the housing. The heating unit is configured to generate heat in response to application of electrical power to the heating unit. When the sleeve is coupled with the housing, the secondary optical component is configured to be arranged such that the generated heat is transferred from the heating unit to the secondary optical component through thermal conduction between the heating unit and secondary optical component.

A dental minor system has an axis and is arranged to detachably receive minor heads at its distal axial side. The system includes a threaded internal passage and an airflow nozzle. The threaded internal passage is arranged to receive each time a threaded member of one minor head and the airflow nozzle is rotatable about the axis in order to align an airflow emitted by the nozzle against reflecting surface of the mirror head.

An intraoral measurement device includes: a device main body that holds a base end side of a prism by a housing, the housing accommodating an illumination member and an imaging member, a cover member that is attached to the device main body in a state of covering, with a space part interposed in between, a distal end side of the prism arranged to face a measurement target, in which a part arranged to face the measurement target is formed by a light transmission window; and a heat transfer member that extends from the device main body along a non-optical surface of the prism, and transfers heat of the device main body to the light transmission window through abutment of a protruding end provided to protrude from the prism against the light transmission window of the cover member.

The present invention discloses an oral scanner, including an outer casing, a reflector, a heat source, an optical module and a forced convection element. The outer casing has a cavity. The reflector is located at the front end of the cavity. The heat source is located in the outer casing. The optical module is located in the casing. A heat channel is formed between the optical module and the outer casing. The forced convection element is disposed in the heat channel and configured to forcedly dissipate the waste heat of the heat source to the cavity to heat the reflector. Thus, the temperature of the heat source can be reduced, and vapor will not be generated on the reflector heated by the waste heat.
