Course Overview

Introduction

This new LonDEC course is designed to enhance dental core competency in the essential skill of Dental Photograhy.

Dental photography has become an essential component of modern clinical practice. High-quality clinical images enhance diagnosis, treatment planning, patient communication, interdisciplinary collaboration, laboratory communication, and medico-legal documentation. Furthermore, photography plays a crucial role in case presentation, teaching, research, and professional development.

This hands-on course is designed for dentists who wish to develop a predictable and efficient approach to clinical photography using readily available equipment and straightforward protocols. Participants will learn how to capture consistent, high-quality images that can be immediately integrated into daily practice, regardless of their current level of photographic experience.

Through a combination of lectures, demonstrations, and practical exercises, delegates will gain confidence in camera settings, image acquisition, lighting techniques, patient positioning, and workflow optimisation.

Aim

To provide delegates with the knowledge and practical skills required to produce consistent, high-quality clinical photographs for use in contemporary dental practice.

Learning Objectives

By the end of the course participants should be able to:

  • Understand the role and benefits of dental photography in clinical practice.
  • Identify the essential equipment required for clinical dental photography.
  • Select appropriate camera settings for intraoral and extraoral photography.
  • Capture a standardised photographic series for diagnosis, treatment planning, communication, and documentation.
  • Utilise flash systems and lighting techniques effectively.
  • Position patients correctly to obtain reproducible images.
  • Understand the use of mirrors, retractors, and contrastors for intraoral photography.
  • Develop an efficient workflow for image storage, organisation, and presentation.
  • Recognise common photographic errors and apply strategies to avoid them.
  • Use clinical photographs to improve patient communication, laboratory prescriptions, referrals, presentations, and medico-legal records.
