Digital Clinical Photography
Clinical photography is a powerful tool in implant dentistry. In these three photos, photography is being used to document the before, during and after stages in removal of a failed implant prosthesis. Clinical photography is also invaluable in communication between all parties to dental treatment including patients, laboratory technicians, and colleagues.
Modern digital photography is user-friendly for dentists and allows rapid transfer of information. This Module will outline and explain a suitable camera setup for digital clinical photography on a daily basis and demonstrate its clinical use.
