Digital Photography
There are multiple uses of photography in the dental/medical practice. Digital transfer of spectacular imaging to computer is now "state of the art". Scanning of X-rays via digital camera is efficient. Videotaping a consult visit summary is essential for legal/trauma case deposition preparation. A complex treatment plan can be explained and presented to the patient on large TV screen, and immediately printed. Chairside restorative procedures can be routinely photographed and images sent out to insurance companies as documentary support. They can easily and quickly be integrated into word-processed reports. Esthetic/cosmetic dentistry with “before” and” after” photos can be a practice builder. Crown & bridge, oral pathology, implant, prosthodontic, and orthodontic records can be stored. The dynamic jaw range of motion for TMJ cases can show baseline movement vs. with therapy, and stethescopic joint sound/motion recordings can be videotaped. Different kinds of TMJ and sleep apnea oral appliances can be shown. Laboratory prescriptions are better implemented with photographic communications. These procedures can be done without being a costly investment.
