Isn’t it said that a picture is worth a thousand words?
The intra-oral camera enlarges the actual dimensions of the picture by 20 to 30 times. The image captured is sent to the screen so that you can see what your dentist is seeing in your mouth.
The intra-oral camera is useful:
for co-diagnosing (between patient and dentist)
for giving more detailed information on the image regarding the need for treatment when making an insurance claim
