Intraoral cameras are diagnostic tools used by dentists to view the interiors of the mouth in a much detailed way as possible. This oversized pen-like instrument can capture high-resolution footage of the patients’ mouth and display them real-time on a monitor.
What are the several advantages of the high-tech tool?
Intraoral cameras offer an excellent experience for the dentist as he/she begins to perform an oral examination of the oral cavity. Not only do they capture well-defined images of the mouth, but has also proved to be beneficial for the dentist as well as the patient. Here are some of the reasons why.
Remarkable technology
With LED lighting, immense imaging capability and a head that rotates across 90 degrees, intraoral cameras allows dentists to examine the mouth with extreme detail and rule out an accurate diagnosis. As the visuals are being displayed real-time on a screen, this also allows the dentist and the patient to communicate and discuss the condition at the same time.
Benefits the patient
Most conventional X-ray technologies often take time to have digital images of the mouth to be printed in films and have the patients look at them while at home. As this imaging technology provides digital images and footages of the mouth immediately, it allows both the dentist and the patient to discuss the treatment plan as and when they are being displayed and observed on the screen with absolutely no delays. With bright and colorful images, dentists can quickly point out the issues you’re facing and help you understand more about your dental condition.
