MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611007750 A) filed by Swami Vivekananda Subharti University, Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, on Jan. 27, for 'a system and method for minimizing scanning noise in intraoral digital imaging through controlled moisture and fog reduction.'
Inventor(s) include Dr Akash Raj Sharma; Dr Vineeta Nikhil; and Dr Astha Agarwal.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a mechanical apparatus designed to minimize scanning noise and enhance the accuracy of intraoral digital imaging systems. During digital impression procedures, moisture accumulation, saliva droplets, and fog formation on the scanner tip frequently interfere with optical data capture, resulting in image distortion and reduced precision. The disclosed apparatus incorporates a controlled airflow generation unit, a temperature-regulating element, and an adjustable nozzle assembly to maintain a dry, fog-free, and optically stable environment within the oral cavity. By directing laminar airflow and applying mild thermal conditioning, the system effectively removes surface moisture and prevents condensation during scanning. A mechanical control interface enables clinicians to adjust airflow intensity and temperature output according to specific clinical conditions."
