This course will cover all aspects of the use of digital photography in dental practice: intra-oral, extra-oral, and portraits. You will be taken from the basics of choosing correct equipment and setting it up, to optimum settings, techniques for consistent imaging and the safe storage of images.

The course is taught by the team that delivers the online masters degree course in Advanced General Dental Practice from the School of Dentistry at the University of Birmingham UK.

No previous knowledge is necessary, but there will be certain requirements in terms of equipment necessary to complete the course - particularly access to a digital SLR camera. Detailed advice on choosing a camera will be given at the start of the course, but if you’re keen to get a head start, then you can download Equipment Recommendations (PDF, 232k).

The course is designed to be of interest and applicable to all members of the dental team.

Time spent by UK dental professionals on this course will count as non-verifiable CPD.
