In recent years, the esthetic awareness of both patients and dentists has been heightened. Cosmetic dentistry has taken great strides forward. Research is focusing on newer and stronger dental materials and on products that are esthetically acceptable. As appearance has become more important, the photographic recording and evaluation of dental procedures has come to be regarded as part of the practitioner's armamentarium. It is no longer possible to fully judge operating success by the use of explorers and radiographs alone. Restorations that may be acceptable by these standards can perhaps still fail by visual or photographic standards. This article will discuss the variables and limitations involved in dental photography.
