| description | The emergence of photographs has been a milestone in the development of
society by making life richer and more comprehensive. Dental photography as
part of clinical medical photography plays a role primarily as a document,
but also as a tool for educating students and continuing education of
dentists. The aim of this paper is to present possible applications of
traditional and digital photography in dentistry at the present stage of
technological development. Dental photography requires some knowledge and
equipment to obtain quality images of intraoral structures. The control of
depth of field (DOF) is one of the important factors for successful dental
photography. DOF can be controlled by changing relative aperture, using
special lenses with decentring to achieve the effect of Scheimpflug’s
principle as well as the use of specialized software which uses series of
images with selective focus to form a composite picture. Special significance
of dental photography is documentation and ability to record maximum
information in conditions that can be repeated. Standardization of conditions
during recording oral cavity, adequate storage and archiving of dental
photographs are also important prerequisites for quality and useful
photography. |
