[0022] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of a dental capping impression device is illustrated, comprising a platform 101 configured with an extendable rod 102, multiple supporting legs 103 installed underneath the platform 101, each attached with a motorized wheel 104, a touch interactive display panel 105 mounted on the platform 101, an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 106 mounted on the platform 101, a horizontal bar 107 attached with a apex portion of the rod 102 and attached with multiple dies 108 of varying dimensions via a motorized slider 109, a multi-sectioned chamber 110 arranged within the housing and each section is connected with a mixing container 111 by means of a conduit 112, an iris lid 113 installed with each of the section, a motorized stirrer 114 installed within the container 111, an electronically controlled valve 115 arranged beneath the container 111 via a pipe 116, multiple pneumatic pusher 117 installed on surface of the die 108, an electronic nozzle 118 attached with a vessel 119 configured with the platform 101 via a L-shaped link 120, a C-shaped clamp 121 provided with the bar 107, multiple LED (Light Emitting Diode) lights 122 embedded in each impression die 108, and a holographic projection unit 123 mounted on the platform 101,

[0023] The proposed device comprises of a platform 101 encased with various components associated with the device arrange in sequential manner that aids in impressing dental capping. Upon placing of the platform 101 on a fixed surface by a user, the user activates the device manually by pressing a switch button associated with the device and integrated with the platform 101. The button is a type of a switch that is internally connected with the device via multiple circuits that upon pressing by the user, the circuits get closed and starts conducting electricity that tends to activate the device and vice versa. After activation of the device by the user, a microcontroller associated with the device generates commands to operate the device accordingly.

[0024] After activating of the device, the microcontroller actuates a touch interactive display panel 105 mounted on the platform 101 to allow the user to give input commands regarding requirement of impression of a tooth. The display unit mentioned herein works by using LCD (liquid crystals) that are manipulated by electric currents to control the passage of light through the display panel 105. When an electric current is applied, the liquid crystals align in a way that either allows light to pass through or blocks it, creating the images and colors that are visible in the LCD of the display panel 105 regarding the requirement of impression of a tooth that is further change the electric charge at the location of the touch to register as input. The input is then stored in the microcontroller to process the input.

[0025] Upon processing the input given by the user, the microcontroller generates commands to actuate an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 106 mounted on the platform 101 to detect presence and exact positioning of the user. The imaging unit 106 The imaging unit 106 mentioned herein comprises of comprises of a camera and processor that works in collaboration to capture and process the images of the surroundings of the platform 101. The camera firstly captures multiple images of the QR code, wherein the camera comprises of a structure, electronic shutter, lens, lens aperture, image sensor, and imaging processor that works in sequential manner to capture images of the surrounding.

[0026] After capturing of the images of the QR code, the shutter is automatically open due to which the reflected beam of light coming from the surrounding due to light is directed towards the lens aperture. After that the reflected light beam passes through the image sensor. The image sensor now analyzes the beam to retrieve signal from the beams which is further calibrate by the sensor to capture images of the surrounding in electronic signal. Upon capturing images, the imaging processor processes the electronic signal into digital image. When the image capturing is done, the processor associated with the imaging unit 106 processes the captured images by using a protocol of artificial intelligence to retrieve data from the captured image in the form of digital signal.

[0027] The detected data in the form of digital signal is now transmitted to the linked microcontroller based on which the microcontroller acquires the data to detect the presence and exact positioning of the user. Based on detecting the presence and exact positioning of the user, the microcontroller actuates a multiple motorized wheels 104 integrated underneath of the platform 101 via multiple supporting legs 103 for moving the platform 101 towards the user. Each of the wheels 104 are coupled with a motor that is activated by the microcontroller to rotate the wheels 104 with specified speed in order to move the platform 101 towards the user. After that the microcontroller based on dimensions of the user’s buccal cavity as detected by the imaging unit 106 actuates a motorized slider 109 integrated with a horizontal bar 107 attached with a apex portion of an extendable rod 102 installed with the platform 101 to position a die 108 in proximity to mouth portion of the user.

[0028] The slider 109 mentioned herein comprises of a rail unit that provides a guided path for linear movement. The rail unit usually includes a pair of parallel rails or tracks, along which the slider 109 moves. The slider carriage, also called a stage or platform 101 equipped with a mechanism to minimize friction and ensure smooth motion. The sliding unit incorporates a motor and a drive mechanism to generate linear motion. The motor is connected to a drive mechanism, such as a belt, lead screw, or ball screw. The drive mechanism converts the rotational motion of the motor into linear motion, propelling the slider carriage along the rail unit to translate the die 108 in proximity to mouth portion of the user.

[0029] Simultaneously the microcontroller actuates an iris lid 113 installed with each section of a multi-sectioned chamber 110 arranged within the housing to dispense a regulated amount of powder and water within a conduit 112 arranged between each of the section and a mixing container 111 for transferring in the container 111. The iris lid 113 operates by a mechanism that uses an adjustable aperture to control the flow of powder and water from each section of the multi-sectioned chamber 110. The mechanism is actuated by the microcontroller, which precisely regulates the opening and closing of the lid 113 to ensure a consistent and measured quantity of powder and water is dispensed to the mixing container 111 without spillage or over dispensing.

[0030] After that the microcontroller actuates a motorized stirrer 114 installed within the container 111 to mix the dispensed materials to produce a homogenous mixture. The stirrer 114 works by utilizing a motorized mechanism to rotate blades or paddles of the stirrer 114 at a controlled speed, as directed by the microcontroller. The motorized stirrer 114 operates in a sequential or timed manner, with its speed and duration adjusted based on the properties of the zinc oxide eugenol powder and water being mixed and the desired consistency of the final homogeneous mixture. During mixing operation, a viscosity sensor integrated within the container 111 detects viscosity of the mixture.

[0031] The viscosity sensor mentioned herein works by measuring resistance of the mixture to flow or deformation during the mixing process. The viscosity sensor utilizes a sensing element, such as a rotating spindle which interacts with the mixture. The sensor detects changes in torque, oscillation frequency, or damping effect caused by the mixture's viscosity. The readings are then transmitted to the microcontroller in real time where process to detect the viscosity of the mixture. Based on detecting the viscosity of the mixture, if the viscosity matches with a threshold viscosity, the microcontroller actuates an electronically controlled valve 115 arranged beneath the container 111 to dispense the mixture in a pipe 116 lined with the container 111 and transfer over the die 108.

[0032] The valve 115 mentioned herein operates by utilizing an electronically controlled actuator, such as a solenoid or motorized mechanism, to open and close its aperture precisely. Upon receiving a signal from the microcontroller indicating that the mixture's viscosity has reached the threshold level, the actuator adjusts the valve 115 to release the mixture in a controlled manner. The valve 115 ensures a steady and accurate flow rate, preventing spillage or excess dispensing of the mixture in the container 111 and transfer over the die 108. During dispensing the mixture over the die 108, an angle sensor synced with imaging unit 106 mounted on the bar 107 detects alignment of the user’s teeth. The angle sensor works based on the principle of detecting changes in magnetic fields or optical signals. By analyzing these changes, the angle sensor accurately determines the angle or position of the the user’s teeth with respect to the die 108 being measured. This information is then further transmitted to the microcontroller in the form of digital signal to analyze and detect the alignment of the user’s teeth.

[0033] Based on detecting the alignment of the user’s teeth, the microcontroller actuates a motorized ball-and-socket joint for positioning the die 108 at an optimum orientation for flexible adjustment of impression during teeth capping impression process. The ball and socket joint works by utilizing a motorized mechanism that provides multi-axis movement, allowing the die 108 to rotate and tilt in various directions. The microcontroller controls the joint's motors or actuators, enabling precise adjustments to the die's orientation to ensure that the die 108 aligns accurately with the user’s teeth based on the detected alignment data for proper capping impression. Simultaneously, the microcontroller actuates a C-shaped clamp 121 provided with the bar 107 to provide support for user's face and lower jaw for teeth impression process, ensuring stability and comfort throughout procedure.

[0034] A tactile sensor mentioned herein embedded with the die 108 detects hardness of impression material after teeth impression is captured. The tactile sensor mentioned herein comprises of a \sensing element known as elastomer for sensing the interaction of the impression material. When the sensor is subjected to the interaction, the sensor gets activated and behave like a switch. When the interaction is released, the tactile sensor acts as closed switch to experience the force exerted by the by the die 108 over the impression material. This force leads to deflection in the elastomer which is measured and converted into an electrical signal. After that the tactile sensor transmits the electric signal to the microcontroller linked with the sensor. The microcontroller now analyzes the signal to detect the hardness of the impression material for ensuring the material has set to required consistency for ejection.

[0035] Upon detecting the hardness of the impression material, the microcontroller actuates a pneumatic unit integrated with each of multiple pneumatic pusher 117 installed on surface of the die 108 to eject the impression material once the material has set to accurate and hygienic material ejection. The pneumatic unit comprises of an air compressor, air cylinder, air valves and piston. The air valve that allows entry or exit of the compressed air from the compressor. Furthermore, the valve opens and the compressed air enters inside the cylinder thereby increasing the air pressure of the cylinder. The piston is connected to the cylinder and due to the increase in the air pressure, the piston extends due to which the pusher 117 to eject the impression material once the material has set to accurate and hygienic material ejection for completion of teeth impression process.

[0036] A holographic projection unit 123 disclosed herein mounted on the platform 101 display images on a surface providing visual instructions to users for teeth impression process. The projection unit 123 discloses comprises of holograms, shutter, beam splitters, diverging lenses and a mirror utilized to project holograms. Firstly, the projection unit 123 emits the laser beam and passed through the shutter to impact on the beam splitter. After the impact of laser beam, the splitter splits the laser beam into two directions. First part is passed through a diverging lens where it scatters to impact on the mirror and produce reflected beam and another part is passed to another mirror directly where it reflects the beam and pass through another diverging lens. After then, the reflected beam from first part falls on the surface to produce an image. Lastly, the projection unit 123 compares the resultant beams and produce hologram light over the surface depicting visual instructions to the users during teeth impression process for assisting in navigating various procedures more comfortably and effectively in impressing the dental capping.

[0037] Additionally, multiple LED (Light Emitting Diode) lights 122 are embedded in each impression die 108, illuminate to clearly indicate user-specified teeth, providing visual feedback to the user for accurate tracking of impression process. The working principle of LED light 122 is based on electroluminescence activated by the microcontroller leads to generate photons in the form of energy by recombined holes and electrons. The recombination process includes jumping of the electrons from conduction bands to valance bands that aids to release energy in the form of thermal lattice vibrations known as photons that aids to glow the light in the surroundings of the impression die 108 to maintain appropriate visibility in surrounding of the impression die 108 user for accurate tracking of impression process.

[0038] After the completion of teeth impression process as detected by the microcontroller via the imaging unit 106, the microcontroller actuates an electronic nozzle 118 attached with a vessel 119 and configured with the platform 101 via a L-shaped link 120 to dispense paint solution onto the user-specified teeth impression material for ensuring clear identification of areas that have been properly impressed. The nozzle 118 herein includes solenoids, piezoelectric actuators, or motor-driven mechanisms that converts electrical signals into mechanical motion. The nozzle 118 is controlled by a control unit that sends electrical signals to the actuation mechanism.

[0039] The control unit includes a pulse width modulation (PWM) or analog voltage control. The primary function of the nozzle 118 is to control the opening and closing of the nozzle’s orifice or aperture. Upon receiving the appropriate electrical signal by the actuation mechanism, it initiates the motion that opens or closes the nozzle 118. This action controls the flow of the solution through the nozzle 118. The nozzle 118 allows precise control over the flow rate and direction of the solution. By modulating the actuation mechanism according to the desired parameters, the nozzle 118 is capable to regulate the flow and provide accurate dispensing of the pain solution on the user-specified teeth impression material ensuring clear identification of areas that have been properly impressed.

[0040] A battery (not shown in figure) is associated with the device to offer power to all electrical and electronic components necessary for their correct operation. The battery is linked to the microcontroller and provides (DC) Direct Current to the microcontroller. And then, based on the order of operations, the microcontroller sends that current to those specific electrical or electronic components so they effectively carry out their appropriate functions.

[0041] The present invention works best in following manner that includes the platform 101 configured with the extendable rod 102 developed to be positioned on a fixed surface having the motorized wheel 104 for providing stability and locomotion to the platform 101 over the surface. the user accesses the touch interactive display panel 105 for providing input commands regarding requirement of impression of a tooth based on that the microcontroller upon receiving the user’s commands activates the artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 106 to detect presence and exact positioning of the user. After that the microcontroller based on dimensions of the user’s buccal cavity as detected by the imaging unit 106 actuates the slider 109 to position the die 108 in proximity to mouth portion of the user and then the iris lid 113 actuated by the microcontroller to dispense a regulated amount of powder and water within the conduit 112 that is transferred to the container 111 where the motorized stirrer 114 is actuated by the microcontroller to mix the dispensed materials to produce a homogenous mixture. Herein, the viscosity sensor detects viscosity of the mixture and as soon the monitored viscosity matched with a threshold viscosity, the microcontroller actuates the electronically controlled valve 115 to dispense the mixture in a pipe 116 lined with the container 111 and transfer over the die 108. Also, the angle sensor synced with imaging unit 106 detects alignment of the user’s teeth, in accordance to which the microcontroller regulates actuation of the motorized ball-and-socket joint for positioning the die 108 at an optimum orientation, for flexible adjustment of impression during teeth capping impression process.
