My most important piece of kit – the camera

My camera is the most important piece of equipment I use. I use it constantly for all of my patients. It helps with the following things and more:

1. Diagnosis and treatment planning – particularly helpful for looking at high smile line and aesthetic problems
2. Checking the quality of my work – particularly when I am doing the end of treatment letters
3. Communication with the dental technician
4. When trying to mimic old dentate photographs for a person requiring full or almost full dentures
5. Patient education – showing them evidence of what I can do
6. Teaching colleagues and dental students
7. Communication with referring colleagues
8. A picture tells a thousand words
I use standardised orthodontic views. In addition, I use a few other extra oral views too which help aesthetically.
