Abstract: An intraoral scanner includes a probe housing disposed at a distal end of an elongate wand. The intraoral scanner further includes a window structure coupled to the probe housing. The window structure and the probe housing form an interior volume. The window structure has a concave transverse cross section. The intraoral scanner further includes optical components disposed within the interior volume. The optical components include a first camera having a first orientation and a second camera having a second orientation that is different than the first orientation. The first camera and the second camera are to capture images of dental sites.

Abstract: An intraoral scanner comprises an elongate wand comprising a probe at a distal end of the elongate wand, one or more light sources disposed within the elongate wand away from the distal end of the probe, one or more waveguides disposed within the probe, and one or more image sensors disposed at the distal end of the probe. The one or more light sources are configured to generate unpatterned light, The one or more waveguides are configured to receive the unpatterned light generated by the one or more light sources and to output patterned light from one or more locations at the distal end of the probe. The one or more image sensors are configured to capture images of intraoral objects illuminated by the patterned light.

Abstract: An intraoral scanner includes a probe housing disposed at a distal end of an elongate wand. The probe housing forms an interior volume. The intraoral scanner further includes a distributed projector disposed in the interior volume. The distributed projector includes a diode module including a laser diode configured to emit a beam of light. The distributed projector further includes a lens module including a first pattern generating optical element configured to generate structured light based on at least a first portion of the beam of light. The lens module is disposed at least a threshold distance from the diode module.
