Use of dental photography by general dental practitioners in Great Britain.

This study assesses, by means of a postal questionnaire, the numbers of general dental practitioners who use clinical photography, and the uses to which this is applied. The questionnaire was distributed to 1000 randomly selected GDPs in Great Britain. A response rate of 76% was achieved. Of the respondents, 36% used clinical photography, with 65% of those using an intra-oral 35 mm camera, 18% a digital camera and 12% an intra-oral digital video camera. Principal uses of clinical photography were patient instruction/motivation (72%), medico-legal reasons (68%), treatment planning (63%), and liaison with laboratory (43%).

Digital imaging for the general dental practitioner: 1. Getting started.

Clinical photography has been used in dental practices all over the world for many years, although it has generally been the keen amateur photographer or enthusiastic practitioner who undertook clinical photography, often with specialized equipment. Understanding the equipment, and how to use it successfully, have caused many hours of frustration, culminating in an anxious wait for the results to be returned (or lost) by the processors.

Digital imaging for the general dental practitioner: 3. Extra-oral imaging.

Images of patients, x-rays, study models, and general views of the practice and staff were often left to the more experienced photographer. Digital imaging has rendered the majority of photography possible for the General Dental Practitioner. Difficult lighting conditions were often a problem in the past, but these can largely be overcome with the facilities built into the latest digital technology.

Intestinal obstruction caused by malrotation of the gut in atrial isomerism.

Five children with atrial isomerism developed intestinal obstruction caused by malrotation of the gut. Other than asplenia, the extracardiac anomalies in these syndromes are rarely regarded as important as the outcome after intestinal surgery is poor. As cardiac treatment improves, early investigation and intervention for intestinal symptoms becomes more important.

Digital imaging for the general dental practitioner: 2. Intra-oral imaging.

Digital imaging is ideal for producing images in General Dental Practice. Many of the techniques used with conventional 35 mm equipment are still good practice, though there are many additional functions available with digital cameras, and many other tools available on the computer. Making best use of the functions and tools available will enable the GDP to produce images suitable for most uses. Taking close-up images in the mouth can be challenging. Through digital imaging the exercise is easier and ultimately more achievable.
