    Abstract: Removable barrier devices (e.g., sleeves) for covering medical scanning devices to reduce the chance of cross-contamination between patients and/or to protect the scanning devices from physical damage. The barrier device can include a cover that has an integrated window for passing optical signals between the scanning device and an external environment. The cover can include a sleeve that covers a handle portion of the scanning device to prevent contamination of the handle from a user's hand or glove. The cover and sleeve may both be formed of the same flexible material, or the cover may be rigid to maintain the window in a fixed position and the sleeve may be flexible to allow a user to activate a button or touchpad on the handle. An interface region between the cover and sleeve may provide a hermetic seal. The window may include a nanostructured antireflective material to limit internal reflections.

    Abstract: A system for curing flowable dental material may include an intraoral scanner configured to capture 3D data, a dental-material-curing light source configured to emit curing light from the probe, a processor, and memory. The memory may include instructions that when executed by the processor cause the system to receive a 3D model of the dentition of the patient from a dental treatment plan, receive scan data of the dentition of the patient, and determine, while receiving the scan data, an area of illumination by the dental-material-curing light source with respect to a dentition of a patient, based on the received scan data.
