Course Content of 30.11-Producing an Orthodontic Photographic Series of 9 Photos
This course covers the precise criteria for excellent photos so that the learner will be able to recognize when a photo is acceptable and when it is not. It also demonstrates every step when producing an orthodontic series of 9 photographs so that the learner will know what procedures need to be changed for photos that are unacceptable. With this knowledge, the individual will be able to take photos on a patient and immediately delete and retake any photos that appear to be unacceptable. This will make the editing and downloading of raw photographs more efficient.
Even though this course demonstrates production with a small point and shoot camera, the basic principles are applicable when using a digital SLR camera. Since this course has been used to train thousands of dental professionals and students, a small, easy-to-operate camera was easier to use in those hands-on sessions than a SLR camera. A future presentation demonstrating the use of a popular SLR camera is planned.
