When you feel adept at moving the wand of your intra oral camera<\/a> around the mouth while watching your monitor and taking pictures simultaneously, you can then add an additional step that will enhance the quality of your intra-oral dental camera<\/a> images immensely. Making a dry field of view just prior to capturing your intra-oral camera<\/a> images will dramatically increase what you and your patients can see.<\/p>\r\n

Saliva and a wet field would hide or skew what actually exists on the tooth\u2019s surface. Flaws and diseased regions will seem to jump off the monitor once you master the art of keeping your field of vision dry for intraoral dental camera photography.<\/p>\r\n
