Mastering Dental Photography

The main aim of dental photography is for documentation to supplement treatment, although other aims include doctor-patient communication, quality control, academic illustration, and practice marketing. Practicing dentist Bengel presents this guide to proper photographic techniques used in all these areas. Chapters cover fundamentals, appropriate camera systems, perioral and intraoral photography, portrait and profile photography, photography of dental casts, copy work, copying x-ray images, making presentation slides, storing and archiving, digital photography, intraoral video systems, and legal considerations. Naturally, the text is accompanied by photographic and drawing illustrations helping to explicate the material. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
