The purpose of this course is to introduce the dental students to basic concepts of dental photography. Clinical photography has its greatest applications as a record-keeping system and as an aid in conveying information. The slide projection of clinical materials is an indispensable tool for use in self-evaluation, patient education, and effective communication with colleagues. The documentation of patient management is a permanent record used not only by the resident during his training but also by the faculty on all levels of education. The use of photography as photo “magic” for calming the fearful child, and as dental newsletters and publications will be discussed.
