DENTAL PHOTOGRAPHY

Dental Photography is an expanding part of dental practice. Emphasis is centered on the documentation and evaluation of the procedures carried out in our day to day practice as well as special cases. The possibilities of dental photography, as with photography for other applications, are limited only by the imagination. As a profession, dentistry can either be a source of immense satisfaction or a routine treadmill. One of the ways to enhance satisfaction is by using dental photography, which is a wonderful means to appreciate what can be achieved with current therapy, gratifying to both the clinician and patient, and helping to transform routine practice into a passionate pleasure. However, like any occupation, it is ultimately the individual's input and subsequent gains that yield gratification. This series will endeavor to elevate dental photography to almost an art form, especially in the case of aesthetic dentistry, which is no less than painting a picture or moulding a sculpture. But photography is not just reserved for aesthetic dentistry; it is also invaluable in other disciplines such as orthodontics, periodontics, implantology, dental technology and oral surgery.
