Intra Oral Cameras at Skymark Dental The intraoral camera has a tiny magnifying lens that projects a picture from a patient’s mouth onto a screen. The image, which is magnified up to 40 times its original size, allows Dr. Sferlazza to see fractured enamel and lines in teeth, gum recession, breakdowns of restorations, decay and other potential problems that may not be seen by the naked eye or x-rays. It allows more accurate color shading in restorations and depicts individual teeth in great detail. These digital images can easily be transmitted to specialists, hospitals or other healthcare centers via e-mail and offer an accurate, permanent record of the overall condition of teeth for future reference or current treatment. Main reason for a camera system is to help in communicating with our patients. In our dental office the intraoral camera will aid in diagnosis. With clear, defined, enlarged images you see details that may be missed by standard mirror examinations. This can mean faster diagnosis with less chair-time.
