The camera, which Dr. Fujie can manipulate with one hand, transmits a live feed showing the inside of a patient’s mouth to a monitor. This significantly reduces dentists’ need to peer into patients’ mouths and allows him to maintain about 20 inches of distance from a patient’s mouth when he uses an aerosol-producing drill.
Since patients can also view the camera’s monitor, the method also allows Dr. Fujie to explain his treatment to patients as he gives it.
