    Abstract: An intraoral x-ray system mountable to a dentist’s office wall including components movable to compensate for defects in the wall’s flatness or the wall not being sufficiently perpendicular to the floor. The system also includes monitoring and compensation capabilities to compensate for drift in the position of the system’s x-ray source or patient movement before and during x-ray imaging, thereby avoiding the need for the taking of additional x-ray images and exposing the patient unnecessarily to extra x-ray dose. Additionally, the system further includes a data/signal processing unit that allows the x-ray source to be precisely moved along a predetermined trajectory and allows the system to perform computed tomosynthesis examinations of a patient. In addition, the x-ray source is attachable/detachable from the system’s robotic arm, with the system compensating automatically for the change in weight at the robotic arm’s end due to removal of the x-ray source.

    Abstract: The present invention provides an intraoral X-ray system comprising:



    an X-ray source located in an environment;
    a robotic arm comprising an actuatable scissor arm, the robotic arm having a first end configured to be attached to a mounting and a second end attached to the X-ray source, at least one of the first and the second ends comprising a rotatable actuatable joint;
    a position sensor to determine variation of position and/or orientation of the environment with respect to the X-ray source and variation of position and/or orientation of a mobile X-ray sensor with respect to the X-ray source; and
    a driving unit actuating the robotic arm as a function of the determined variation of position and/or orientation to control the position and/or orientation of the X-ray source with respect to a predetermined position and/or orientation of the X-ray source.

    Abstract: At least one embodiment of a method for a method of detecting an abnormality along a portion of a dental arch using scanning material comprising an ultrasonic periodontal probe configured for emitting ultrasound signals within at least one emitting cone and for receiving corresponding echoed ultrasound signals, the method comprising moving the probe along a portion of the dental arch, while moving the probe along the portion of the dental arch: emitting an ultrasound signal within the emitting cone; measuring echoed ultrasound signals; detecting at least one anatomical structure to be investigated; measuring at least one predetermined feature of the at least one detected anatomical structure to obtain a value of the measurement of the at least one predetermined feature characterizing the detected anatomical structure; detecting an abnormality as a function of a threshold and the value of the measurement of the predetermined feature of the at least one detected anatomical structure.
