Intraoral shots from extraoral
|
|
There are dozens of manufacturers of intraoral cameras worldwide. All of them use video cameras to shoot intraoral shots. These intraoral cameras are suitable for the documentation of dental findings as well as for patient education and patient motivation. But
what if a treatment or a patient education shall be documented as a whole and with narration? What if you want document extensive prosthetic, surgical or implantology procedures or patient counselings to prevent any future cases of recourse. What if you need a camera for live transmissions of your surgeries at your training courses or congresses ?
All intraoral cameras are well suitable to shoot still images, but they are no good for shooting video recordings nor can they record audio.

The ThirdEyeVideo dental camera is a dental light mounted miniature camera , which you will like from the beginning ! It is lightweight (only 75 grams) and can be mounted to any dental light on the market.
A twofold lockable ball joint enables the optical axis of the camera lens being adjusted to the central beam of the dental light. Thus all intraoral shots will be made within the centre of the light beam. Thus your dental light replaces the ring light of professional photo camera and you´ll have perfect light falling on the object (e.g. tooth) for shadowless shots all the time. The ThirdEyeVideo dental camera is being focussed manually, but its wide depth of field (more than 8-12 centimeters) ensures sharp images even if you move the patients head or the dental light slightly.
The ThirdEyeVideo dental cameras are suitable for everyday dentistry. They are robust and the handling is easy and swift.

The ThirdEyeHD dental camera is heavier ( 230 grams) than its smaller brother.
The ThirdEyeHD dental camera also is somewhat more selective regarding the dental light
it can be mounted to. Nevertheless the ThirdEyeHD dental camera can be mounted to almost any available dental light, if the light can bear the additional weight of the camera. Most dental lights can be adjusted to additional weight by customizing their pneumatic spring. The ThirdeyeHD dental camera has an autofocus and a 10x zoom lens. However, both autofocus and zoom lenses need more lens element groups than a telephoto lens. These lens groups absorb much more light than the two lenses in a telephoto lens. To ensure enough light falling onto the CCD chip of the camera the focal aperture of the camera opens and the iris diaphragm widens. The wider the focal aperture the more shallow the depth of field.
 The brighter the light (brightness in lux) falling onto an object and the smaller the aperture of the iris diaphragm of the camera lens, the wider the depth of field (DOF) will be !
The DOF also depends on the working distance (distance of the front lens of the camera to the object, you are shooting)

Since the optical axis of the ThirdEye dental cameras are adjustet to the center of the dental light´s light beam all objects being lit by the dental light are depicted on the monitor. Thus, our ThirdEye-dental camera truly becomes your third eye.
Now you have a camera at your hand (i.e. at your dental light), which can record intraoral videos and still images without any hassle.
There is no need to interrupt any of your treatments, just to take intraoral pictures or to record intraoral videos.

How does it work ?
Your dental light always is focussed on those objects - tooth, gingiva - you´re working on. At least it should be ! Since the optical axis of the ThirdEye dental camera is adjusted to the center of your dental light´s light beam all photos or videos are shot in the center of the light beam. And you have total control of the camera image without the need to look on the monitor all the time
|
|
|
If the tooth you are treating is lit evenly and by the most intense light, which normally should be produced in the center of the dental light´s light beam, your ThirdEye dental camera provides optimal photos or videos. Without annoying shadows cast by your hands or instruments.
|
 |
|
The wide depth of field (depending on working distance, focal length and light intensity) of the ThirdEyeVideo dental camera requires only small changes in focus. The ThirdEye Video dental camera can depict either the full mouth (35mm lens) or a whole quadrant at a working distance of 60 cm (50mm lens) on the monitor. Because of its wide depth of field all the teeth from the incisors to the last molars are displayed in focus.
|
|
|
At a working distance of 30 cm (distance from the front lens of the camera to the patient´s mouth) one molar with its two neighbouring teeth can be displayed format filling on the monitor. This corresponds to a 12 fold magnification on a 14" monitor screen.
|
|
|
The ThirdEye dental cameras enable you working uninterruptedly while filming or shooting photos. A contamination of the camera lens through turbine water spray or the chip-blower is nearly impossible at a distance of 40-60cm.
|
|
|
Teeth, gums or intraoral fields you only can see with your dental mirror can be displayed and recorded using the dental mirror.
If the dental light is situated beside the dentist´s head, "what he sees is what he´ll get" (on the monitor).
