Dental photography systems: required features for equipment selection.

Photographic images are becoming a standard of care for visual communication and medicolegal documentation in contemporary dentistry. For visual images to be effective in diagnosis and treatment planning they must capture useful visual information. Repeatable and predictable image alignment, magnification, and exposure are required for predictable macrophotography in dental practice. This article discusses basic photographic principles that influence specific dental imaging needs and the camera system features required to achieve repeatable diagnostic results.

Repeatable alignment--Part II: Consistent photographic alignment accuracy.

Predictable aesthetic results necessitate the implementation of various dental principles for tooth display, alignment, and relative proportion. In order to ensure accurate communication, clinicians must clearly document visual information regarding violations of these tooth arrangement principles via dental photography. Accuracy in the alignment of photographs is crucial for subsequent treatment planning and evaluation. This article discusses several alignment complications that may be encountered while capturing diagnostic dental photographs. A technique for repeatable alignment accuracy is proposed.

Repeatable alignment--Part 1: Consistent model transfer record accuracy.

Successful restorative treatment requires the application of aesthetic dental principles that include guidelines for proper tooth alignment. Clinicians use mounted models in diagnosis and treatment when these aesthetic principles are violated. Accurately mounted casts are indispensable for precise communication with patients, specialists, and laboratory technicians, and will influence proper diagnosis and subsequent treatment. This article discusses common alignment complications encountered in mounting dental models. Solutions for repeatable alignment accuracy are proposed.
