| Abstract | ||
| Digital photography is of huge importance during the course of dental treatments. It’s indispensable for recording data, patient motivation, communication with the lab etc. Many photography equipment are available and used in dentistry. Using digital photography is obtaining a footstep in pediatric dentistry. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the quality of dental images made by different digital photography mediums commonly used in dental clinics and measure the acceptance of children towards dental photography. Materials and Methods: in this study images produced by Three DSLR (digital single lens reflex) cameras along their prober lenses, one bridge camera and two smartphones with different sensor sizes were evaluated, based upon the sharpness, quality, color fidelity, and general context of the photographs. The participants were divided into three main groups: under-graduate students; graduated dentists and graduated dentists with photography experience. 20 pediatric patients were imaged using the aforementioned equipment. Results: DSLRs with macro lenses and ring flashes scored the highest means with statistically significant differences (p<0.05). From 20 pediatric patient photographed by each equipment used in this study 18 child accepted smartphone photography Conclusion: Older DSLRS are still usable for dental photography. Kit lenses or extension tubes with camera built in flashes are not appropriate for dental photography. Bridge cameras and smartphones are not adequate for dental photography. | ||
