/Low Cost Intraoral Scanning System
Abstract

An intraoral scanning system comprises an intraoral scanner configured to generate intraoral scans and two-dimensional (2D) images of a dental site, wherein the intraoral scanner is configured to generate the 2D images at a first frame rate and a device. The device comprises a wireless module configured to wirelessly connect to the intraoral scanner and a processing device. The processing device is to receive the intraoral scans and the 2D images from the intraoral scanner; store the intraoral scans in a data storage of the device; and output a subset of the 2D images to a display according to a second frame rate that is lower than the first frame rate.
