Assessing and achieving accuracy in digital dental photography.
Accurate digital photography is becoming part of the standard of care for diagnosis and documentation in dental treatment. Proper exposure and color rendering are critical elements in the capture of useful images with excellent representational quality. Reliable photographic techniques must be consistently applied as a repeatable protocol to create an accurate record of pretreatment conditions and post-treatment results. Every software process that alters an image will degrade the pixel content and should be minimized or avoided.
