Intraoral camera

An intraoral camera is a handheld imaging tool used by dentists and oral healthcare providers to capture detailed images and videos of a patient’s teeth, gums, and other oral structures. These devices help in diagnosing issues like cavities, plaque buildup, or gum disease by providing high-resolution visuals that aid in precise treatment planning and patient education.

Intraoral cameras are typically sold as standalone devices or as part of a system, often requiring connection to a computer for operation. They may include specialized attachments for enhanced imaging, such as violet or infrared light options, but are not regulated as medical drugs or implants. Their classification and supply vary by jurisdiction, depending on local medical device laws.
