title: Digital imaging for the general dental practitioner: 1. Getting started.
abstract: Clinical photography has been used in dental practices all over the world for many years, although it has generally been the keen amateur photographer or enthusiastic practitioner who undertook clinical photography, often with specialized equipment. Understanding the equipment, and how to use it successfully, have caused many hours of frustration, culminating in an anxious wait for the results to be returned (or lost) by the processors.
