Intraoral Camera
An intraoral camera is a small, handheld device used to capture detailed images of the oral cavity. This camera, often shaped like a pen or a small wand, allows dentists to take magnified, high-resolution images of the teeth, gums, and other oral structures.This technology significantly enhances diagnostics and patient education, as dentists can visually present and explain problem areas. The images can be displayed in real-time on a monitor and stored for patient records.
Intraoral cameras are frequently used to detect cavities, gum disease, cracks, or wear on teeth at an early stage. They are a valuable tool in preventive dentistry, contributing to improved treatment outcomes and better patient communication.
