Abstract
In embodiments set forth herein, an intraoral scanning system includes an intraoral scanner and a cradle and/or charging station for the intraoral scanner. The intraoral scanner generates intraoral scans and two-dimensional (2D) images during scanning, where the 2D images are generated according to a first frame rate. The intraoral scanner sends the intraoral scanner and the 2D images to the cradle. The cradle stores the intraoral scans and outputs a subset of the 2D images to a display according to a second frame rate that is lower than the first frame rate.
