Dentists, Hygienists, Assistants – family members and friends! Come to this course to be able to choose your style of camera and use it for any photo – in the dental office, or just in life!
Improve your photography skills, learn to select and use the right equipment for clinical dental photography. This course will improve your ability to present multimedia presentations, update you with current digital photo technology and the latest in photography.
Course Objectives:
As a result of attending this course, you will be able to:
- Explain basic photography principles and terminology
- Choose the best cost-effective photography system needed
- Explain the fundamentals for intra-oral photography, including how to make professional clinical photos
- Practice and refine photographic techniques for better intra-oral, extra-oral, and laboratory comparison photos
- Demonstrate current digital photo technology and increase their capacity to assimilate new information for latest updates
Workshop – Limited to 20 participants
The lab session will allow the participant first-hand exposure and experience to digital dental equipment. After practicing the techniques taught in the morning session, participants will practice taking intra- and extra-oral images on each other – and take turns being patient, assistant and the photographer.
Required Lab Equipment
Please bring mirrors, retractors and a rubber mixing bowl (for warm water to heat the mirrors). If you have a digital camera capable of intra-oral, macro photography that you would like to practice with, please bring it with you. Please make sure that it is in good working condition (charged batteries, memory cards, etc.). We will have some camera equipment available for those who do not have one to bring. If you have any questions about your camera’s dental capabilities email Dr. Wang at: icwang@uw.edu.
