Novel Paraflash-Softbox Setups for Standardized Anterior and Posterior Intraoral Photography
Abstract
Objective: The main limitation of intraoral dental photography is the standardization of the repetitive dental images. The parameters affecting the standardization can be divided into 3 groups such as; parameters related to the camera settings, parameters related to the flashlight, and parameters related to the shooting position. The parameters related to the camera settings are exposure [the combination of the lens aperture (f-stop) and the shutter speed], the sensitivity of the media (ISO), and white balance (WB), which may affect the brightness, sharpness, and depth of field of the dental image. The parameters related to the illumination are the power output of the light source, softboxes/diffusers, the distance of the light source, and the distance and angulation between the dual flashlights. The parameters related to the shooting position are the position of the dental unit and the clinician/camera which define the working distance. Among these, the clinician should standardize as many parameters as he/she can to provide accurate and precise repetitive intraoral dental images. This paper suggests two novel paraflash/softbox setups to provide the standardized intraoral photography of both anterior/posterior teeth and the occlusal surfaces at the same time, clinically.
Clinical Technique: The positions of dental unit and head support should be fixed. The first setup involves 3 paraflashes/softboxes fixed vertically and horizontally above the dental unit symmetrically at 45° of inclination. Two are positioned for introvert angulation and one should be placed right above the dental unit between the other two with a slight inclination towards the patient’s head. The second setup involves only 2 paraflashes/softboxes fixed vertically at 45° of inclination above the dental unit and with the ability of horizontally re-positioning easily. Through these setups, the clinician can take both anterior and posterior repetitive intraoral dental photographs by minimizing the major parameters related to the camera settings, illumination, and shooting position.
