Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of seven camera systems in producing accurate intraoral images.Materials and Methods Seven camera systems marketed for use in clinical dentistry were compared in terms of their working distances at a 1:1 reproduction ratio.Results Each of the systems provided slides of acceptable quality for both direct view and indirect buccal mirror view when used with the customary 90‐mm to 105‐mm focal‐length lenses and the electronic flash units appropriate for each model. Using the manufacturers' recommended settings for each exposure, some differences in the quality of the resulting slides were noted. The color slides produced by three of the camera systems were slightly underexposed, but still clinically acceptable.Conclusion The camera systems with longer working distances, especially for the indirect buccal mirror view and when using the lateral flash, permit the photographer to position the camera with greater ease so that the slide image is an acceptable reproduction of the actual clinical view.
