Learn The Secrets To Taking High Quality Dental Photographs That Build Patient Confidence And Produce Better Outcomes, Case After Case.

If you’re still relying mostly on X-rays, or you’ve never had any formal training on clinical digital photography, then this module will open your eyes (and lenses!) to a whole new world of dentistry...

1

You’ll build confidence with your patients

As a dentist, you strive for the best possible outcomes for your patients… and this starts with a clear picture of what’s going on inside their mouths.

Unfortunately, X-Rays do not show failing restorations, crack lines, wear patterns, the restored nature of teeth or the health issues of soft tissues.

And, without the right techniques and tools, your current digital camera set up might be missing more than you think.

2

You’ll attract new patients

Nothing shows potential patients your excellent work than a high quality before and after photograph. If the image is too dark, blurry, or even at the wrong angle, it will do little to build confidence in your practice.

3

You’ll keep better records

For record keeping and legal documentation, high quality photographs are far more preferable to patient notes or X-rays.

4

You’ll do better at monitoring patient disease

Clear, high quality photographs can identify and track gum disease far more efficiently and reliably than X-rays or clinical notes.

5

You’ll perform more accurate shade selection

For veneers or implants, shade selection is critical. High quality photos will help prevent lighting issues that can lead to misleading tooth shade appearance, poor selection and an unsatisfactory outcome.

You may already use digital photography equipment in your clinic, but are you getting the best results with it?

6

You will be able to accurately diagnose orthodontic problems, formulate appropriate treatment plans and plan ideal future mechanics.

Just like any instrument or tool in your office, technology changes over time, along with the ways in which we use it.

Using modern digital photography equipment and the latest techniques will result in clearer communication and better outcomes for your Orthodontic patients, along with improved record keeping and risk management for your practice.

Taught by Peter Sheridan, clinical senior lecturer at Sydney University, leading expert on Clinical Photography and general dentist with over 40 years experience.

Dr Sheridan will show you the right tools and techniques to take high quality digital photographs that capture a face, an arch, a quadrant or a tooth, with the kind of detail that you and your Orthodontic patients and your general dental patients have never seen before.

You’ll learn:

  • Rationale for use – the scope of Clinical Photography
  • Principles and settings
  • Camera choices – body, lens and flash
  • In-camera post-processing… is it possible?
  • Where does the Intra-oral camera and the iPhone fit into Clinical Photography?
  • Accessories – Retractors and mirrors
  • The team – who takes the photos?
  • Positioning and technique (videos)
  • Positioning and technique with hands on practice and guidance
  • Improving patient compliance
  • Data management
  • Achieving quality, consistency and efficiency

You will master all these techniques with live and hands-on workshops where you will be the clinician, the assistant and the patient - helping you understand the responsibilities of each person to achieve consistent high quality photographic images.

At the end of this course, you’ll be able to consistently take professional intro and extra-oral images using optimal camera settings, mirrors, retractors and positioning to dramatically improve your dental photography skills.

Intraoral Digital scanning

Would you like to save time and see more patients? Then on day 2, you’ll learn more about intraoral digital scanning for your practice.

Digital scanning is the fastest way to scan a patient. In fact, it takes five minutes! That’s because there’s no impression material used, no sitting around waiting for the PVS to dry, no patient-discomfort and no mess.

Intraoral scanners are also more accurate than analog impressions. By replacing analog impressions with digital scans, you instantly
remove human error, which saves time and money.

And let’s not forget, Intraoral scanning will save you money on PVS material, plaster for models and all those shipping costs
that come with analogue impressions.

Even better, you can store all your models in the cloud or on a hard drive. No more cupboards full of models!

No wonder digital dentistry is in high demand by patients. It’s quicker, more affordable and more comfortable too.

Learning to provide intraoral digital scanning will impress your patients and have them talking and referring others to your practice.

During this module of the 3 day course, we will cover:

  • The cost effectiveness of intraoral scanners
  • How to use 3 different intraoral scanners
  • How to choose the right scanner for your practice
  • Practicing live and hands on with 3 different intraoral scanners

Typodont Training

Learn to treat your patient from start to finish, and perform non extraction therapy in the lower arch and extraction therapy in the upper arch, as if it is a real patient. During this training, you’ll learn to:

  • Start by bonding brackets on a typodont
  • Place the initial wires and see how the teeth move
  • Use auxiliaries as required eg lacebacks, Open Coil Spring, tipbacksprings, canine uprighting springs
  • Continue the levelling and aligning process with progressive archwire sequence
  • Prepare the patient for Upper space closure
  • Be proficient in different space closure techniques
  • Use of elastics as required
  • Use RCOS /ACOS wires
  • Use auxiliary wires if necessary such as high torque wires, negative torque wires
  • Use other auxiliaries such as torquing auxiliaries
  • Perform ideal finishing with braided wires and /or finishing bends
  • Place bonded retainers
