There was something difficult to expect.

In addition, a material expressing a constant impression hardening condition, such as a silicone impression material has a disadvantage that the cost burden of the patient is increased due to the high price, there is an inconvenience that does not fall well in the process of removing the impression material after curing in the oral cavity.

As a result of inconsistent with continuous consumption of materials, a method of directly acquiring a three-dimensional environment in the oral cavity using optical equipment has been devised to solve application inconveniences.

For this purpose, the projector is used as a light source to irradiate the oral cavity, which is acquired by a camera, and converted into three-dimensional data by using a triangular method. The sharpness of is not high and there is a limit to increase the precision due to the light blurring with distance.

In addition, the method widely used to determine the state of the oral cavity is a sheet-like film is inserted into the oral cavity to fix the film near the affected area using the patient's hand or tongue, and then radiation such as x-rays to the affected area of the oral cavity A method of projecting and using film based thereon has been proposed.

However, this method may cause errors in the process of two-dimensional plane measurement of a three-dimensional structure by performing manual measurement in two dimensions using a radiograph or relying on computer tomography. There is this. In addition, the patient may be exposed to a large amount of radiation, and the patient's economic burden and complexity at the implementation stage may cause many clinical problems. Therefore, there is a need for an oral scanner capable of accurately three-dimensional modeling of teeth while having a low possibility of causing a problem in a patient's health.

Then, after moving the insert 1b into the oral cavity of the patient, when the power switch (not shown) is turned on, light emitted from the light output unit 100 is irradiated toward the first reflecting unit 400. do. Since the light output unit 100 is provided with a separate pre-light emitting optical body in front of the lens so that the pre-light emission is made, the light output unit 100 has the same or similar length as the first reflecting unit 400, and thus the light emission is performed. At the same time, as the motor shaft installed in the motor 210 is rotated, the first link 222 is rotated together with the motor shaft, and as the second link 224 is rotated, the light output unit 100 installed in the seating unit 201. The light is irradiated while reciprocating in the direction of the arrow.

The light output unit 100 according to the present embodiment is stably reciprocated without being separated out or malfunctioned while the guide unit 800 is moved to the above state.
