Cameras—whether digital or film—are widely used in dental practices to take clinical photographs both inside and outside the mouth. With the right digital camera accessories such as close-up lenses and a ringlight system, it is possible to transform a personal digital camera into a clinical tool for capturing accurate intraoral and extraoral photographs, but there are cameras specifically designed for dental use. Whether a high megapixel digital camera with an abundance of accessories or a lower single unit megapixel digital camera is chosen, almost any camera can be customized to fit your practice. Be sure the vendor offers upgrades and can help you adapt your digital camera to your specific purposes.
