A dental X-ray photographic apparatus in the oral cavity comprises a base board, a supporter, and a grip unit.The supporter is set at the end part of the base board. The end part of the base board is inserted in the oral cavity when X-ray photographic operation is performed. The supporter supports an X-ray receiver that has an X-ray sensor.The grip unit has a bearing unit, a ball, an arm, and a gripper. The bearing unit is attached to the backside of the supporter. The ball is supported by the bearing unit. The arm is connected to the ball. The gripper is connected to the arm directly, or connected to the arm through a connecting unit or another arm. The connecting unit freely changes an angle between the arm and that another arm.By gripping the gripper, the supporter is supported under the condition in which an angle between the arm and an imaging surface of the X-ray sensor can be adjusted.The gripper includes an electric source for driving the X-ray sensor.本發明提供不藉由受驗者之咬合而能進行固持的牙科用口腔內X射線照相裝置。本發明之牙科用口腔內X射線照相裝置包含有:保持基板;受光體固持部,設於保持基板在使用X射線裝置進行拍攝時插入口腔內的部分之端部,用來固持住具有X射線照相元件的X射線受光部;以及握持部。其中,握持部具有:安裝在受光體固持部之背面的軸承部、由軸承部所支承的球體部、連接於球體部的腕部、以及與腕部連接或透過連接部及其他腕部而與腕部連接的夾持部。而且,連接部係可任意變更腕部與其他腕部之夾角者。藉由握持住夾持部,以可調整腕部與X射線照相元件之拍攝面之夾角的狀態,來固持受光體固持部。又,夾持部具有用來驅動X射線照相元件的電源。1...牙科用口腔內X射線照相系統10...保持基板19...握持部20...受光體固持部30a...第1導引環40...第1顯示部50a...第1X射線裝置100...牙科用口腔內X射線照相裝置200...觀察裝置210...第1操作部220...第2操作部240...第2顯示部260...驅動部261...旋轉軸270...觀察部271...第1觀察濾光片272...第2觀察濾光片
