Optimal Lighting of Optical Devices for Oral Cavity by Chia Hung Yeh, Liang Gie Huang, Man Yee Chan

“…The limitations are (1) due to the angle of the head swing and the shadow of the visual field during the operation and (2) due to projection of the light source being worn on the doctor’s head and the length of the wire, and the fiber-optic wire will affect the relative position of the surgical instrument and limit the scope of the doctor’s activity. This study will focus on the development of oral lighting optical microstructure devices to solve and improve the abovementioned clinical use limitations. …”
