“…Sometimes, the in-built flash may not sufficient to give the required light in clinical setups, which necessitates an additional flash for improving the lighting of the objects. [ 12 ] When capturing intraoral clinical images, it is advisable to use cheek and/or lip retractors (frontal view) and mirrors (quadrant/arch occlusal view) for improved visibility. [ 13 14 ] It was found that the majority of the participants always used these retractors in their practice.…”

Background and Aim: Clinical photographs have become an important entity in contemporary dental education in Saudi Arabia. The study assessed the knowledge and skills related to clinical photography among final-year undergraduate dental students in different dental schools in the Western province of Saudi Arabia. Materials and Methods: A face-to-face interview was conducted using a pretested and validated questionnaire after obtaining relevant consent from the college administration and the students. Trained and calibrated data collectors interviewed the dental students between November 2019 and February 2020. Results: The knowledge related to clinical photography was “good” only in 17.2% of the participants, and most of the students demonstrated “poor” knowledge (58.9%). Digital single lens-reflex (DSLR) camera was used by only 43.9% of the students for taking clinical photographs. The practice of taking informed consent from patients for taking and using clinical photographs was reported in 77.6% of the dental students. Conclusion: The knowledge related to dental clinical photography was not satisfactory, and students need to improve the understanding of the proper functioning of digital cameras and also the medicolegal issues related to clinical photography.

Objective: To fabricate an inexpensive, reproducible and portable ringlight with flexible, quick-release mount for use with point-and-shoot consumer digital cameras in intraoral photodocumentation Materials and Methods: Design: Instrumentation Setting: Tertiary Care Hospital Procedure: A commercially-available battery-powered mountaineer’s LED (Light Emitting Diode) headlight (manufacturer, place) was converted into a portable ringlight with a flexible, quick-release mount for intraoral photodocumentation. Results: The Flexmount Ringlight delivered an even and white illumination of the oral cavity and oropharynx at a working distance of more than 5cm from the subject in focus. It resulted in sharper pictures due to its constant illumination that assisted the camera’s autofocus system in getting accurate focusing intraorally. It also allowed the camera to use smaller apertures that have put more elements in focus, and faster shutter speeds that have markedly reduced motion blur. Conclusion: The Flexmount Ringlight is an inexpensive, easy-to-assemble and portable ringlight that can be used in point-and-shoot consumer digital cameras. Its constant and even illumination resulted in reproducible, sharp, shadowless photographs of the oral cavity and oropharynx. Keywords: ringlight, flexmount, intraoral photodocumentation
