Abstract
Photography is an “informative tool” to evaluate the diagnosis, make the proper treatment plan, document cases, communicate with the dental technician and other specialties for a multidisciplinary approach. These all can be achieved by only a good photograph with illumination, sharpness, and proper color contrast. This article emphasizes on photography and technical aspects which are required to understand photography in the field of dentistry. By using accessories like photographic mirror, contrastors and retractors, we can record the details of a targeted area. The advances in techniques of photography gives good results provided one understands the complexity of the camera-system.
Keywords: dentistry, retractors, mirror, contrastors, camera-system, photography
