Zusammenfassung:An intraoral scanning system that includes a housing and a sleeve. The housing includes optical components, a head, and a defogging unit that includes a heating unit. The head includes a primary aperture and is configured to be inserted into an oral cavity of a patient. The sleeve includes a secondary optical component arranged at a secondary aperture that is configured to be positioned in alignment with the primary aperture when the sleeve is coupled with the housing. The heating unit is configured to generate heat in response to application of electrical power to the heating unit. When the sleeve is coupled with the housing, the secondary optical component is configured to be arranged such that the generated heat is transferred from the heating unit to the secondary optical component through thermal conduction between the heating unit and secondary optical component.
