A
Guide to Clinical Photography for Dental Students
Information
about SLR (single lens reflex) cameras:
The use of photography
to record medical/dental case information dates back about as far as the
invention of cameras themselves. For years, doctors have used pictures
to document their cases, demonstrate before and afters, as well as explain
cases to patients and colleagues.
Today, the use
of clinical photography is equally important. We live in an increasingly
visual world. Patients don't just want to hear about their case, they want
to see it and understand it better. Photography helps you put the patient
in your shoes and allows them to see what you see.
Naturally,
in order for cameras to be practical for a busy clinician, the systems
have to be easy to use and produce excellent quality pictures. Lester A.
Dine Inc. has produced clinical photography equipment for almost 50 years.
It is our ultimate goal to provide you with the best close-up clinical
camera possible.
For this reason
we recommend the Nikon F80QD and the Pentax MZ-50 QD. Both feature TTL
flash metering, a built-in quartz data back, motor drive (auto advance),
auto film loading and auto ASA setting. These cameras are incredibly user-friendly
and will eliminate many common human errors.
** A nice bonus:
The Nikon F80 QD and Pentax MZ-50 QD may also be used at home as your personal
camera.
The following
information should help you better understand the importance of a complete
Auto-Exposure System.
RINGLIGHT
VS. POINTLIGHT: WHICH IS BETTER?
Ringlight and
Pointlight are two forms of close-up lighting; each has special uses. The
ringlight is a shadowless light, and is called a true clinical light because
it illuminates the entire area. Ringlight reveals the total subject without
any shadows, and it is best used for posterior intra-oral pictures, intra-oral
mirror pictures, pathology photography and open wound photos (a surgical
flash),. The point light, located on the end of the lens is a shadow casting
light, and it can be rotated 360 degrees. Pointlight creates a shadow on
the subject that reveals topography, shape, and contour. It is best used
for shape and profile pictures, orthodontic anterior views, Dental models,
Dermatological views or wherever shape, contour and depth of the subject
are of greatest importance.
We recommend
the Dine Auto Exposure Light. Designed by Lester A. Dine, Inc.,
The Dine Auto
Exposure Light is a combination Ringlight and Pointlight and thus offers
maximum versatility. The user simply selects the flash. The Dine Auto Exposure
Light is also totally dedicated to the TTL camera which controls exposure.
Advantages
of the 105MM Macro Lens
The 105mm macro
lens is the best focal length for close-up clinical photography. The longer
focal length allows for a better working distance from the subject, thereby
making intra-oral posterior photography easier to do and more comfortable
for the patient. It keeps the camera away from any sterile environment,
and, most importantly, the lens yields distortion-free facial photography,
a must for the plastic and orthodontic photographer. The best 105mm Macro
lens today offers both direct 1:1 ratio focusing without the need for an
extension tube and a minimal aperture of F32 for maximum depth of focus.
We recommend
the Dine 105mm Macro Lens, which was designed with the above-listed features.
The Dine 105mm Macro Lens is the definitive lens for clinical photography
today!
The Dine System
has both a Ringlight and a Pointlight; essential to anyone involved in
medical photography because it offers the user the option of choosing between
two distinctly different flashes with the flip of a switch. The Ringlight,
known as a clinical light, is best used for open wound, posterior intra-oral,
and pathology pictures where total illumination is required. The Pointlight
reveals topography, shape and contour. It is a rotating light at the end
of the lens. The pointlight is best used for facial and profile pictures,
orthodontic anterior views, and dermatological views. With the option of
choosing between flashes the user has the ability to take a full range
of medical photographs.
Other advantages
of the Dine System: The system has F32 capability giving it a greater depth
of field; it also offers easy to use graphics on lens to make reproducing
views simple; and the Dine System is functional as a personal camera.

MACRO
5 SLR
The Polaroid
MACRO 5 SLR is a simple to operate, fully automatic, portable camera designed
for medical and dental documentation, manufacturing, quality control, law
enforcement, and other applications that require close-up photographs.
The Polaroid
MACRO 5 SLR is a simple to operate, fully automatic, portable camera designed
for medical and dental documentation, manufacturing, quality control, law
enforcement, and other applications that require close-up photographs.
The camera uses Polaroid self-developing instant color films, so you know
right away that you have the picture you need.
The camera produces
reproductions at: 0.2X (20%), 0.4X (40%), 1X (100%), 2X (200%) and 3X (300%).
The lenses for each reproduction size are self-contained, so there is no
need to attach accessories when changing magnification.
The camera has
two built-in electronic flash units that provide even illumination, and
a microprocessor-controlled exposure system that automatically sets the
camera for the correct exposure at all magnifications. The flash units
also can be used individually for side-lighting, or in combination with
auxiliary lighting.
-
Dual-light rangefinder
for focusing; nothing touches the subject
-
Date/time module
that allows you to print the date or time on pictures
-
Can be hand-held
or used on a tripod or copystand
-
Grid screen in
viewfinder for consistent framing of subjects
-
Lighten/Darken
control
-
Polarizer kit to
reduce reflections from the flash units when photographing
glossy or glass
subjects.
-
Fluorescein kit
for external ophthalmic photography includes a #2A yellow
barrier filter
and #47A blue exciter filters.
The Polaroid system
is unique in its ability to produce immediate results without the need
for processing. Pictures can be taken one at a time, and shown to patient
for immediate presentation, instant pictures.
