Abstract
A dental add-on for an electronic communication device having a screen and an imager, the add-on including: a body comprising: a distal portion sized and shaped to be at least partially inserted into a human mouth within, in one or more dimension, one or both dental arches; and an optical path extending from an optical element of the electronic communication device, through the body to the distal portion and configured to adapt a FOV of the optical element for dental imaging; a connector for connection of the add-on body to the electronic communication device.
Claims24
A dental add-on for an electronic communication device having a screen and at least one optical element, said dental add-on comprising:
- a. a body comprising:
- i. a distal portion sized and shaped to be at least partially inserted into a human mouth within, in one or more dimension, one or both dental arches;
- ii. at least one first optical path extending from said at least one optical element of said electronic communication device, through said body to said distal portion and configured to adapt a FOV of said at least one optical element for dental imaging;
- and
- iii. a connector for connection of said dental add-on body to said electronic communication device,
- wherein said dental add-on includes a patterning element disposed within a second optical path;
- said second optical path extending between one or more illuminators of said electronic communication device and said FOV of said at least one optical element.
A method of intraoral imaging comprising:
- aligning at least one optical element of an electronic communication device to one or more optical paths of an add-on to transfer a FOV of said at least one optical element into said one or more add-on optical paths;
- attaching said add-on to said electronic communication device;
- and
- positioning said FOV of said at least one optical element within a mouth, by positioning at least a portion of said add-on within said mouth,
- wherein said method comprises adding a patterning element to a second optical path;
- said second optical path extending between one or more illuminators of said electronic communication device and said FOV of said at least one optical element.
