Technological Challenge
19
Imaging of the oral cavity is necessary for documenting clinical findings,
20
diagnoses, for training and education, for medicolegal purposes, publishing, and
21
even for communication with patients. Capturing images of the oral cavity often
22
requires expertise, and is time-consuming. The usage of smartphone cameras is
23
marred by certain limitations like blurring, light glare and reflected shadows of
24
dental crowns and units.
25
Technical Solution
26
While placing the smartphone near the oral cavity, it is held with the thumb and index
27
finger, and stabilized with the little finger which is kept over the cheek of patient. The
28
little finger acts as a fulcrum which is used to move the smartphone to get the proper
29
photographic alignment, and focal length. Flash 1 is another smartphone is kept parallel
30
to, and near the flash system(Flash 2) of the main smartphone, from which image is to
31
be captured. We have kept flash 1 switched on permanently, but flash 2 gets activated
32
only while the smartphone clicks the picture. (Figure 1)The settings for ISO, exposure
33
and shutter speed are to be set to the Auto mode. Parameters like white balance, colour
34
saturation and temperature might need minor post-photo editing. The retractors and

mirrors can be used wherever required. The authors used a Samsung Note 8®
36
smartphone with a 12MP, double lens camera. Proper videos and images taken with this
37
optimized technique can be used for the purpose of patient demonstration and
38
educational teaching. (Figure 2)
