Intraoral scanning system with improved wireless communication security

An intraoral scanning system comprising:

• an intraoral scanning device configured to acquire light information reflected from a dental object during a scanning session,
• one or more processors operably connected to the intraoral scanning device, and at least one of the one or more processors includes a client device and one or more servers, the one or more processors are configured to:
• determine surface information from the light information, and
• generate a three-dimensional (3D) surface model of the dental object using the surface information,
• a wireless communication interface configured to transmit via a first wireless communication protocol a unique identifier of the intraoral scanning device, and wherein the client device is configured to receive the unique identifier via the first wireless communication protocol, and a wireless connection is established between the client device and the intraoral scanning device via the one or more servers upon a confirmation of the unique identifier by the client device, and
• wherein the wireless connection includes at least a second wireless communication protocol that is different from the first wireless communication protocol, and wherein the first wireless communication protocol includes a first security level and the second wireless communication protocol includes a second security level.
