Just a plain old 100mm macro lens...
Sell it to the Dental Professionals (dentists) as a pro tool at a 'special' 
price (big $$$).  They use it for showing the work they did and getting 
approval for work they will do from the medical payment authority (insurance plan).  
(Think of it like getting approval from the state before you proceed with the 
work if you have nationalized medical care.)

  ordinary close-up lenses and macro lenses?

Some of the specialized Dental or Medical lenses I have seen, are in fact
just like an 100 mm macro lens optically.  However, many have a built in
flash that surrounds the lens to allow flat lighting for the subject.   This
would be like buying a regular 100 macro lens and an AF 140C flash that has
a circular flash head that clips on the the front of the lens.
...cheers!
