Digital imaging for the general dental practitioner: 2. Intra-oral imaging.
Digital imaging is ideal for producing images in General Dental Practice. Many of the techniques used with conventional 35 mm equipment are still good practice, though there are many additional functions available with digital cameras, and many other tools available on the computer. Making best use of the functions and tools available will enable the GDP to produce images suitable for most uses. Taking close-up images in the mouth can be challenging. Through digital imaging the exercise is easier and ultimately more achievable.
