Digital Dental Photography Basics
Frank Lozano, DMD, MS


This course will focus on basics of clinical photography, both intra and extraoral. Users of a clinical photography setup will be able to obtain excellent images for patient education, laboratory communication, treatment planning efficiency, and before and after photos. We will cover basic parts of a dental specific camera, their operation, accessories for the clinic and finally various views to look for to complete a patient record. Some advanced techniques for extraoral photography also will be shown that can add value to after photos of patients once treatment has been completed.
