Abstract: In embodiments set forth herein, an intraoral scanner comprises a body, and a probe at one end of the body, the probe comprising a scanner head. The intraoral scanner further comprises a wireless communication module disposed within the body, and one or more optical sensor to receive light that enters the scanner head and generate intraoral scan data based on the light, wherein the wireless communication module is to wirelessly send the intraoral scan data to a computing device. The intraoral scanner further comprises a primary power source disposed within the body, wherein the primary power source comprises at least one of a long distance wireless power transfer (LDWPT) receiver or a replaceable battery. The intraoral scanner further comprises a secondary power source disposed within the body, wherein the secondary power source comprises at least one of a rechargeable battery or a capacitor.

Abstract: An intraoral scanning system comprises an intraoral scanner and a base unit comprising a computing device and a cradle for the intraoral scanner. Responsive to placement of the intraoral scanner into the cradle, the intraoral scanner causes the base unit to wirelessly broadcast a unique identifier according to a first wireless communication protocol and receives the unique identifier. The intraoral scanner uses the unique identifier to establish a wireless connection with the base unit according to a second wireless communication protocol.
