Abstract
An intra-oral imaging system includes an optical conduit, a light source generating light rays, at least a portion of which are transmitted through the optical conduit to illuminate a dental surface, a device for converting the light rays into radiation illumination with spatially varying wavelengths prior to illuminating the dental surface, a reflector that directs the light rays from the light source to a selected point; and an imager for receiving the light rays when the light rays are reflected from the dental surface.
