In this video, we dive into a 2023 survey study from the International Journal of Periodontology and Implantology on dental clinical photography among intern and postgraduate students. Key findings reveal that only 7.3% of participants use DSLR cameras, while 78.6% rely on mobile photography due to the high cost of equipment. Most students (78.6%) use photography for marketing rather than treatment planning. Additionally, the study highlights significant knowledge gaps and educational needs in dental photography, with many students unaware of essential equipment and techniques.
