Intraoral Cameras (IOCs) were first introduced in 1989 and are now used by over 80,000 dental offices in North America. They are used to build patients’ trust through visual communication. While other digital SLR cameras are useful, IOCs are best used chairside to show the patient a clear picture of the inside of their mouth, allowing the dentist to consult them on various treatment options, and save the images directly to a patient’s file. "A patient can see his own intraoral conditions under magnification with better quality than the dentist could show him with a foggy mouth mirror. I can show an endodontic hole down almost to the apex. It's unbelievable what you can see and what it means to the patient as he looks down that hole with you, and sees the challenges you're facing." It is almost inevitable for the patient to want the procedure to be done after seeing with their own eyes what is going on in their mouth. == Features == The wand form factor is the industry standard, lightweight, compact, and maneuverable in the patient's mouth. Various design options are also available: * Wireless or corded with PC-USB, VGA, RCA, or S-Video connectivity * Lightweight (approx, .25 lb / 110g) * LED lighting * Fixed or variable focus mechanisms (Dial and Slide) * Magnification up to 100X * Angle of view 0˚ or 90˚ * 45˚ mirror attachment * Periodontal pocket probe attachment with scale for measurement * Attachment for single tooth closeups * Fingertip image capture or foot switches * SD card storage * Specialized imaging software 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Intraoral camera」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
