Dental photography in record keeping and litigation.

The value of producing high quality dental photographs has been recognised by more and more dental practitioners, both to enhance their patient records and prevent litigation, particularly in the field of cosmetic dentistry and orthodontics. In recent years with the advent of digital photography the necessary camera set ups for clinical use have become easier to use, more available and affordable. With suitable training any member of the dental team is capable of taking high quality and repeatable images.
