Intraoral Cameras
Intraoral cameras are small, high-definition imaging devices used to capture detailed visuals of the interior of the mouth. These cameras provide dentists with clear, magnified views of teeth, gums, and other oral tissues, facilitating more accurate diagnoses and enhancing patient communication. As a key tool in modern dentistry, they contribute significantly to both diagnostic precision and overall patient care.
