Dental anatomy photos

How is anatomy used in dentistry?
A digital photograph, believe it or not, can allow your dentist to take a closer look at your teeth.
The high-resolution photo can be zoomed in on and helps your dentist detect cracks the size of a hair, tiny cavities, imminent failures in fillings and oral cancers developing in the mouth tissues..
What is the use of dental photography?
The intraoral photographs provide a static and in-depth look at the condition of the patient and the patient's condition can be easily compared with other patients' records.
The dental photography also helps in legal documentation..
Your teeth are composed of four dental tissues.
Three of them—enamel, dentin and cementum—are hard tissues.
The fourth tissue—pulp, or the center of the tooth that contains nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue—is a soft, or non-calcified, tissue.

How do dentists take pictures of your teeth?

The dentist or her helpers may take pictures, called x-rays, of your teeth

They take an x-ray with a special camera

The x-ray pictures help them see in between and inside your teeth

Show x-rays and allow for discussion

Dental anatomy is a field of anatomy dedicated to the study of human tooth structures

The development, appearance, and classification of teeth fall within its purview

(The function of teeth as they contact one another falls elsewhere, under dental occlusion

)

Dental photography is the documentation of clinical images of the patient

Generally, imperfections are not visible to the patient easily

But with the help of photographs, the dentist can give a visual to the patient of his smile and oral condition

Images accurately visualize the dental problems as well as the aesthetics of the patient’s teeth
