Intraoral photography 1 article

Intraoral photography records standardized clinical images of the dentition and surrounding oral structures using a camera, mirrors and retractors where needed. Photographs can document baseline conditions, restorative details, lesions, orthodontic progress, shade information and treatment changes, while also supporting communication with laboratories and patients. Consistent framing, exposure and magnification make serial images more comparable. The method produces visible-light records and remains distinct from radiography, which reveals anatomy through X-ray imaging.
