Intraoral X-ray system with functional switch in the X-ray device for the use of different sensor types

An intraoral X-ray system comprising:

• an intraoral X-ray device which is equipped with an automatic exposure control (AEC) functionality and connectable to a cloud and a computer,
• wherein at least one intraoral X-ray sensor is connectable to the intraoral X-ray device, and the intraoral X-ray device has a functional switch which, in an initial identification process, recognizes a built-in exposure analysis capability of the at least one connected intraoral X-ray sensor and activates an associated mode M, M′, M″ in response to the recognition, wherein the intraoral X-ray system further comprises one or more of the following modes:
• a mode M″ for intraoral X-ray sensor side detection of an exposure level that is activated by the functional switch when the at least one intraoral X-ray sensor has built-in exposure analysis capability, a mode M′ for intraoral X-ray device, computer or cloud side detection of an exposure level, or a mode M without detection of an exposure level that is activated by the functional switch when the at least one intraoral X-ray sensor does not have built-in exposure analysis capability.
