A sleeve (300) is held on the end of probe (105) by friction or by the fingers of the camera-operator. Consequently, the present sleeve (300) is readily removed form the camera (105) and new sleeve is placed on the camera (105) each time the camera (105) is used on a different patient. The sleeve (300) is made entirely of a transparent material that will not interface with the operation of the camera (105). Alternatively a transparent window (310) is provided in the end of the sleeve (300) so as to permit imaging of a dental structure (140) in a patient's mouth. The sleeve (300) is made of a rigid or flexible material, preferably a plastic material such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC). |
