”), a sonde is used for imaging from the patient's oral cavity and for video transmission to a magnified image screen in order to provide a clear image to the dentist, the patient, and possibly a third party, such as a student. These sondes have a large volume and guide the light for transmitting the image and illuminating the oral cavity through a light guide, for example a glass fiber bundle.The glass fiber bundle is also large volume and not very flexible. There is therefore a high risk of breakage. This makes the sonde difficult to handle. Image transmission to a distant video camera is also relatively poor.
