digital_dental_photography9th - 10th December

2016 Belgium

Dental photography has become a standard in dentistry for different applications including case reference (before/after), color analysis, morphology analysis, orthodontic study, esthetic analysis, phonetic tests, patient communication and communication with dental laboratory. Even though modern cameras allow for a full automated process of taking pictures, they do not fulfill our expectations on achieving the image quality we consider as a standard. Mastering dental photography requires some extended knowledge over the simple “point and shoot” action, in order to release the full potential of the modern digital reflex cameras.

The objective of this course is to learn the basics of digital dental photography in a simple way as well as some advanced techniques that will empower us to become professional dental photographers, setting up a new standard on our dental photography outcome...
