Abstract:
Effective lighting is a key factor in achieving a good image, not just in dental photography. A variety of light sources can be used for this. It is important to know the colour quality of the light sources and adjust the camera accordingly. This helps to avoid unwanted alterations in colour. Lighting is crucial to a successful image. It controls not only the lightness or darkness of the image, but also the tone, feel and atmosphere of the picture. Manipulating the light, for example by using special filters, can also be a useful diagnostic tool for treatment.
