Billions of photographs are taken worldwide each day, and most of them are captured with a smartphone. In the context of clinical dentistry, many clinicians use their smartphone to take clinical photographs for communication or documentation simply because they cannot operate or afford a professional camera. Author Louis Hardan understands too well how a poorly taken photograph can compromise the quality of dentistry delivered to the patient, which is why he launched the Mobile Dental Photography (MDP) project in 2012. He wanted to find a way to make documentation and communication easy and affordable to all dentists and laboratory technicians, including students. In this book he outlines how to use the smartphone camera with auxiliary lighting and accessories to take photographs for treatment planning, documentation and self-evaluation, communication with the patient and laboratory technician, tracking the evolution of treatment, as well as for publishing, lecturing, and insurance and medicolegal purposes. He also shows how to take artistic photographs to wow your followers on social media and effectively market your practice online. You really can get similar-quality images with a smartphone camera as with a DSLR camera; you just need to know how to use it. This book is the key.

FOREWORD

“You should never judge a photographer by the type of film used, but only how he uses it.”

Since Professor Louis S. Hardan joined the StyleItaliano team, every day he has shown the curiosity and interest in simplified dentistry that is in our StyleItaliano DNA. One day he came to us and said, “Taking a good dental photo must be as easy and pleasant as taking a selfie.”

We were shocked by this, considering all the effort that goes into taking high-quality photographs in the clinic, all the devices and details required, all the money invested in making the communication better and better in our courses and lectures. But then he came with a smart prototype and showed us a series of photographs. They were breathtaking—in clarity, resolution, sharpness, and the way the light was managed.

And the device in question was his mobile. With some smart lighting of course.

We finally understood. He was thinking exactly of all the dentists and students who don’t take photographs because it is too complicated and expensive. He was thinking of an easy way to communicate with the dental technician. He was thinking of the assistants, always struggling with the professional camera. He was thinking of the easiest and best way to speak with the patient and create a positive relationship. All of this is the real philosophy and target of StyleItaliano.

We are proud of this work, proud to encourage every dentist to always document every case. This is the way to grow your skills and to share emotions with everyone around.

Although some may express cynicism at the use of smartphones in clinical photography, we would like to remind you of the initial quote by Ernst Haas: “You should never judge a photographer by the type of film used, but only how he uses it.” Smartphone cameras are evolving rapidly, and the photographs in this book are the best proof that it is not the type of camera that dictates the quality of a photograph—it’s how you use it.

Enjoy the book with passion and bright eyes!

Introduction

Billions of photographs are taken worldwide each day, and most of them are captured with a smartphone.

The past is gone, we live in the present, and no one can predict the future. This is a reality that we cannot deny. Because our memories can be unclear and lack detail, to keep them alive we often try to capture moments with photographs and videos. Inventor Nicéphore Niépce is credited as the first to take a partially successful photograph in the early 19th century. This technology was slow to evolve, eventually picking up pace in the late 20th century with the introduction of pocket cameras, followed by the integration of cameras in mobile phones in recent years.

In 2011, only about 10% of the world’s population used a smartphone. In 2018, that figure jumped to 36%, with an estimated 3.8 billion users in 2021. Because smartphones are relatively similar in design, utility, and performance, smartphone companies are shifting their attention to the quality of their products’ cameras to give them the competitive advantage in the marketplace. After all, billions of photographs are taken worldwide each day, and most of them are captured with a smartphone. Improved optical zooming (10× or more), 360-degree video, and 3D imaging with depth sensing are the serious projects of the future for smartphone cameras, and there are plenty of other innovations on the horizon. This technology war between the dueling smartphone companies has spurred rapid evolution in the capabilities of smartphone cameras, leading even some professional photographers to start using their smartphones to take high-quality photographs with great definition.

We know that many dentists already use their smartphone cameras to document their cases and communicate with their laboratory because they do not have professional cameras, but a poorly taken photograph can compromise the quality of the dentistry delivered to the patient. Therefore, it is important to understand how to properly use a smartphone camera in the context of clinical photography. That is why we started the Mobile Dental Photography (MDP) project in 2012; we wanted to find a way to make documentation and communication easy and affordable to all dentists and laboratory technicians, including students. Even in hospitals, the trend of using smartphones and wireless technologies is increasing with the aim of providing high-quality, cost-effective, and altogether better health care.

Why Document?

The primary reason to document in dentistry is to record with precision the actual oral situation or procedure performed, and as part of this process dental photography can be employed for diagnostic, clinical, and medicolegal purposes.

Patients’ dental records comprise documents concerning the history of their dental conditions, clinical examinations, diagnoses, and treatments. The primary reason to document in dentistry is to record with precision the actual oral situation or procedure performed, and as part of this process dental photography can be employed for diagnostic, clinical, and medicolegal purposes.

High-quality photographs are required to obtain more information from the images, allowing their use in multiple fields of dentistry. Photography can be used for treatment planning, documentation and self-evaluation, communication with the patient and laboratory technician, tracking the evolution of treatment, as well as for publishing, lecturing, and marketing; it can also be used for artistic, insurance, or legal purposes.
