Dental Photography: Basic principles for clinical practice
This lecture introduces dental practitioners to clinical photography fundamentals, covering the technical process of digital image creation and the value of photography in modern dental practice.
Participants will explore equipment options—comparing camera systems, lighting setups, and macro lenses for dental applications. The session focuses on mastering the three pillars of photography (aperture, shutter speed, ISO) within dental contexts, identifying and avoiding common technical mistakes, and implementing standardized protocols for comprehensive case documentation. Through demonstrations and examples, attendees will gain practical knowledge to enhance clinical outcomes, improve patient communication, and strengthen professional documentation, establishing dental photography as an essential tool for both clinical excellence and practice development.
