Descrizione Orthodontic Clinical Photography
The human face is a mirror held out to the world. A beautiful smile enhances self-esteem and also improves quality of life by providing overall health benefits. Photographs should be an essential part of diagnosis and treatment planning, educating and motivating the patient towards the treatment, laboratory communication, insurance submissions, dento-legal purposes, for documentation and dental marketing.The success of orthodontic treatment can be determined by various objective measures but society and patients give paramount importance to the aesthetic outcome of the treatment. A picture can often get a message across much better than the best verbal description. When evidence-based dentistry is gaining roots worldwide, dental photography finds an important place in providing the evidence. In addition to conventional patient records and radiographs, dental photography offers the dental professional another possibility of visual reconstruction of the various stages of treatment. This book provides an insight into the history, guidelines, standardisation and recent advances in digital orthodontic photography.
