A hand held intra-oral video camera (10) is provided for capturing images from inside a dental patient's mouth which has a housing (24) having a distal end (26) and a handle portion (30). Within the distal end (26) a view port (32) is located and a sensor assembly (18) is mounted. The camera (10) may include a full featured objective assembly (14) and a main lens assembly (17), for suitably manipulating image content; a reflector (16) for capturing images from an angle substantially away from a longitudinal axis (12) of the housing (24); and, an illumination assembly (20) to illuminate the surface from which images are captured. The reflector (16) may provide mirrored or conventional image orientation. Wide angles of view, high resolution, and great depth of focus are provided by the camera (10) due to the absence within it of any purely image relaying optical elements. The camera (10) may integrate with other dental tools, either in permanent or temporary modular manner. The camera (10) may also be itself modularly constructed for ease in reconfiguring, or for ease of disposal, cleaning or sterilization of patient and operator contacting portions.

An electronic video dental camera is provided which overcomes the disadvantages of both prior art dental mirrors, endoscopes, and video endoscopes. The electronic video dental camera is readily manipulated by dentists who are familiar with the manipulation of dental mirrors. Such an electronic video dental camera includes a handle to be held the user, and a camera head located at the distal end of the handle, with the camera head being formed at an angle to the handle, as in prior art dental mirrors. One embodiment includes provision for the flow of a selected fluid in order to defog and/or clean the camera lens. In one embodiment, the camera head includes light sources for illuminating the area to be viewed. In one embodiment, the handle of the dental camera includes means for transporting all appropriate signals and fluids to and from the camera head, and, if desired, valves and switching means located on the handle for controlling such communication to the camera head. One embodiment includes a dental camera head which allows a number of attachments to be used, such as a telephoto lens, wide angle lens, relay lens, and transillumination devices. In an alternative embodiment, the dental camera is attached to another dental instrument, such as a dentist's drill, thereby allowing video monitoring of the task being performed. In another embodiment, the dental camera is formed as an integral part of the dental instrument.

One embodiment includes a dental camera head which allows a number of attachments to be used, such as a telephoto lens, wide angle lens, relay lens, and transillumination devices. In an alternative embodiment, the dental camera is attached to another dental instrument, such as a dentist's drill, thereby allowing video monitoring of the task being performed.

A novel dental instrument is taught which includes both a laser device and an electronic video dental camera. The teachings of this invention overcome the disadvantages of prior art dental laser instruments which do not provide for other than direct viewing of the treatment area by the dentist, as well as the disadvantages of attempting to use such prior art dental laser instruments together with typical prior art viewing devices such as dental mirrors and dental cameras of the prior art. The dental instrument includes a laser device and an electronic video dental camera is provided having a single handle and a convenient shape, thereby being readily manipulated by dentists who are universally familiar with the manipulation of prior art dental tools. The dental instrument includes a handle to be held by the user, a distal portion which is to be placed inside the patient's mouth, a laser light emission port located at or near the distal end, means for transporting laser light from an external laser source to the laser light emission port, and a camera head located at or near the distal end of the device, with the camera head being formed in order to provide a field of view which includes the portion of the patient which is being treated by the laser light emanating from the laser light emission port.

A sheath is provided which prevents the dental camera itself from coming into contact with the patient, while allowing the dental camera to function properly. Such sheaths are dispensed on a perforated role, either end to end, or side to side. Alternatively, each sheath is individually packaged in a tear away casing, allowing the sheath to remain sterile, yet being readily accessible for use.

An electronic video dental camera is provided having a general shape of prior art dental mirrors, thereby being readily manipulated by dentists who are universally familiar with the manipulation of prior art dental mirrors. Such an electronic video dental camera includes a handle to be held the user, and a camera head located at the distal end of the handle, with the camera head being formed at an angle to the handle. One embodiment also includes a mirror so that the dental camera can be used simultaneously as both a video dental camera and a dental mirror. Another embodiment includes means to cause, as desired, the flow of a selected fluid over the camera lens in order to defog and/or clean the camera lens, thereby allowing proper viewing. In one embodiment, the camera head also includes light sources for properly illuminating the area to be viewed. As a feature of one embodiment, the handle includes means for transporting all appropriate signals and fluids to and from the camera head, and, if desired, valves and switching means located on the handle for controlling such communication to the camera head. In one embodiment, the handle is uniquely designed to have a one piece connector to connect to a cable from video monitor and control equipment, such connector providing communication with all elements connected to the camera head, such as power for a light source, video signals, fluids, etc.

A compact optical imaging system with application to a viewing head of an endoscope. A lens assembly gathers and focuses light into parallel rays which are turned 90.degree. from the lens assembly optical axis. A planar image sensor is oriented parallel to the lens assembly optical axis and receives the light which has been turned. The light enters a glass plate serving as the back side of the image sensor and impinges on active light-sensitive elements on a silicon layer deposited on the glass plate. A substrate is bonded on the silicon layer and supports circuitry for buffering and driving signals to and from the image snsor. The substrate has a plurality of slots aligned with the bonding pads of the image sensor to permit electrical connection between the buffering and driving circuitry and the image sensor.

Compact optical imaging system

An endoscope subsystem, for a video endoscope system of the type having an insertion tube employing a video sensor, an optical imaging system for forming images on the sensor, and a video display for displaying an image derived from the sensor, which subsystem is for electronically correcting the side-to-side image reversal of the image represented by signals derived from the sensor in response to light intensities in a scene viewed by the endoscope, which reversal may result from the use of a folded optic imaging system in order to achieve compactness in the distal end of the endoscope.

Image reversal correction system for video endoscopes

A color video endoscope system having a control unit compatible with various endoscopes. Each endoscope generates unique signals to the control unit to optimize the clocking out of data from the solid state image sensor, to optimize the processing of data received from the image sensor, and to identify the size and location of the image formed on the image sensor so as to control the image formed on the monitor. The control unit generates alternating fields of red, green and blue light through the endoscope light guide with blank fields between the color fields, during which time data is clocked out of the image sensor, thereby preventing image 'smear' caused by immediately successive color fields.
