TOMOGRAPHY CONVERGENCE-TYPE ORAL SCANNER
Abstract:
Disclosed is a tomography convergence-type oral scanner that provides optical tomography images of the shape of a tooth surface and the inside of a tooth. The tomography convergence-type oral scanner comprises: an oral scanning unit comprising a projector including a first light source for generating visible light, and a camera for generating image data by receiving the visible light reflected from a tooth after the visible light generated from the light source is incident on the tooth; an optical tomography scanning unit comprising an OCT body including a second light source that has a different wavelength from the first light source and generates a measurement light incident on the tooth, a beam splitter for splitting the measurement light into a reference light and a measurement light, a reference mirror that reflects the reference light, and a photodetector for detecting an interference light generated by superposition of a signal light generated by reflection of the measurement light by the tooth and the reference light reflected by the reference mirror, and an OCT scan probe including a collimator for converting the measurement light divided by the beam splitter into a parallel light and a MEMS mirror for reflecting the converted parallel light; and a dichroic mirror for transmitting the visible light generated by the oral scanning unit and reflecting the parallel light reflected by the MEMS mirror of the optical tomography scanning unit, thereby irradiating a tooth to be measured.
