Intraoral Camera
“A picture is worth a thousand words.” Intraoral cameras are digital cameras that enable our dentist to capture images of difficult to reach areas in the mouth. The camera is handheld and allows the dentist to enlarge images of the tooth surfaces, gum conditions and tissues. It can capture clear video and images of the corroded or tarnished fillings, hairline fractures, bleeding gums, plaque, and several other critical teeth problems in real-time. The oral lesions, fractured teeth, periodontal conditions, cosmetic improvements can be visualized on a big screen and can help the patient understand their mouth issues.
The intraoral camera is a lightweight device and it is used to take quality color pictures of your teeth and gums.
Nowadays orthodontists can use a 60mm macro lens and the most recommended camera would be Canon EOS 850D, Canon EOS T100, Canon EOS 250D.
It can help the dentist and patient to visualize his or her smile and oral condition.
There are three images are used periapical, panoramic, and cephalometric.
Intraoral means within the mouth.
