Photography is crucial in modern dentistry, facilitated by digital technology advancements. The two main types of dental photography are macrophotography and photomicrography. Photomicrography, particularly valuable for its high magnification capabilities, offers clear documentation of minute dental details critical for the diagnosis and treatment planning. Mastering the art of photomicrography requires a precise balance between the microscope and camera, offering substantial benefits in patient education, clinician evaluation, and treatment documentation. Despite the learning curve involved, the results of dental photography, both macro and micro, are invaluable in modern dental practice.
