Intraoral camera
Intraoral cameras (IOCs) are cameras used by dentists or doctors to show a patient the interior of their mouth, as an alternative to using a mirror. They were first introduced in 1989 and are now widely used in dental offices. IOCs allow the patient to see a clear picture of the inside of their mouth, aiding the dentist in consulting with them on various treatment options. Images can be saved to a patient's file for future reference.

gollark: Sad.
gollark: Why not just make that webserver do TLS itself then?

gollark: Backups are to a 5-year-old 1TB laptop disk because I cannot be bothered to order a new actual NAS disk and they're quite hard to attain now anyway.
gollark: If stuff comes up in the wrong order it breaks horribly, but it somehow always avoids doing that.
