A—Z of clinical photography BRIEF Clinical photography is not just about pictures; it is an important part of best practice in dentistry. None of our traditional records (charting, clinical notes, radiographs and study models) actually show the mouth as we see it through our loupes. Clinical photography is an underused yet vital tool for both documentation and communication in dentistry, providing a level of reality that is accessible, comprehensible and reliable. This introductory course provides the skills to produce high quality digital photographs and a protocol which can be integrated into the daily routine of the dental professional.

PRESENTER Dr Peter Sheridan has been presenting courses and lectures on clinical photography for 10 years. In 2013 he published A Guide to Standard Views the first protocol for general dentists using clinical photography. His new textbook Clinical Photography in Dentistry – A new perspective (Quintessence USA 2016) reflects his mastery of this topic. As a general dentist with 40 years’ experience he has developed his photographic techniques to be seamlessly integrated into everyday dental practice, enhancing both records and communication. Dr Sheridan is also a professional photographer having authored two fine-art photographic reference books on art deco. His photographs have been used by the National Gallery of Victoria, the Sydney Morning Herald and museum catalogues. In 2001 he received an Order of Australia (AM) for his international work in empowering people affected by multiple sclerosis.
