Smartphone camera with external light source viable and useful alternative for intraoral photography
The smartphone camera with an external light source viable and useful alternative for intraoral photography suggests a new study published in the Journal of Dentistry.
Results
Thirty-nine subjects were photographed. SLRC with a polarizer showed the largest ΔE in this study (P<0.001). When capturing tooth 11, SLRC with calibrated white-balance resulted in the smallest ΔE in this study (P<0.001), and the use of a polarizer and/or calibrated white-balance did not result in a smaller ΔE than that of SC alone (P>0.001).
