Abstract:
Clinical dental photography has become an integral part of dentistry, aiding documentation, patient education, treatment planning and aftercare. With advances in digital technology, both students and practitioners widely use dental photography, significantly influencing clinical practice. Therefore, it is of interest to assess the extent of use, knowledge and ethical perceptions of dental photography among dental practitioners and students through a structured questionnaire survey. An observational cross-sectional online survey was conducted and statistical analysis revealed no significant differences in knowledge between experienced clinicians and students. While dental photography is widely adopted for documentation and patient motivation, there remains a need to strengthen technical skills and ethical awareness to optimize its role in practice.
