Important clinical uses for digital photography.

Digital photography almost has overtaken the conventional photographic film industry. Most professional photographers are using either digital photography alone or a combination of digital and conventional film photography. The trend toward digital photography is not likely to change. Using digital photography in the dental office is fast, easy and highly useful for documenting treatment, carrying out patient education and accomplishing clinical research. Supervision and use of this new technology can be delegated to staff members, and it will provide many benefits to dentists and patients.
