Purpose:   To describe a novel digital single lens reflex (dSLR) camera adaptor for anterior and posterior segment photography.

Methods:   The adaptor was used to evaluate canine, feline, and equine patients presenting to Tufts Ophthalmology service. Anterior segment imaging was conducted with the adaptor mounted between a dSLR camera body (Canon 7D) and a macro lens (Canon EF-S 60mm/f2.8). Posterior segment imaging was performed with the aid of an indirect ophthalmic lens mounted in front of the macro lens. Coaxial illumination during viewing was provided by a single white light-emitting diode (LED) within the adaptor, while illumination during exposure was provided by the pop-up flash or an accessory flash. Corneal and/or lens reflections were eliminated using a pair of linear polarizers, having their azimuths at right angles to one another.

Results:   This dSLR camera adaptor provides quality high-resolution, reflection-free, images of both the anterior and posterior segments. It was easy to transport, assemble, and handle. The necessary adjustments, positioning, and focusing required for quality images were easily performed.

Conclusion:   The described dSLR camera adaptor provides an alternative to existing imaging systems. High-resolution image acquisition occurred at a fraction of the cost of established imaging system, particularly those devoted to the posterior segment.

The aim of this study was to estimate field-grown tomato yield (weight) and quantity of tomatoes using a self-developed robot and digital single lens reflex (DSLR) camera pictures. The authors suggest a new approach to predicting tomato yield that is based on images taken in the field, 3D scanning, and shape. Field pictures were used for tomato segmentation to determine the ripeness of the crop.

Department of Restorative Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry, MAHSA University, Jenjarom, Selangor, Malaysia.

Dental photography is gaining popularity in contemporary dentistry, but its knowledge was unregulated in most dental schools' curriculum. The study aims to evaluate the level of photography practice and knowledge among dental students in Malaysia, acting as a baseline to include dental photography as a subject in the current curriculum. A series of questions were designed and validated by experts with a content validity index of 0.

Article Synopsis
  • The article reviews different methods to measure the shaping ability of endodontic rotary files, focusing on the choice of sample types (extracted teeth vs. simulated blocks) and imaging techniques.
  • A literature search identified 86 relevant studies from a large pool, noting that the majority used extracted teeth, while a smaller portion used simulated root canals; various imaging methods were employed to evaluate performance.
  • The review concludes that Micro-Computed Tomography (MCT) and its advanced variants are generally superior for assessing root canal instrumentation quality, discussing the advantages and limitations of other methods and emphasizing the need for improved study designs in the field.

Design: The current study is a randomized controlled trial with two arm, multicenter and parallel group design.

Case Selection: Study subjects were 38 orthodontic patients younger than 17 years who were being treated with metal braces. Patients with at least one white spot lesion (WSL) graded 1 to 2 according to the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) on the labial surface of permanent maxillary and mandibular canines and incisors were included for the trial.
