Abstract

Clinical orthodontic photography is a vital skill that every orthodontist should master to record the patients’ details and to permit the orthodontist to carefully plan, monitor and execute the treatment. With the advancement of technology, some clinicians opt to take intraoral photographs with their mobile phone rather than DSLR camera. Hence, this study aimed to answer one main question: whether there was any significant difference in the perceived quality image between intraoral photos taken with a mobile phone and a standard DSLR camera. The cameras used were a DSLR (Nikon D300s with AF-S Micro NIKKOR 105mm lens and NIKON R1C1 Twin Flash) and Mobile Phone (Apple I-Phone 11 with Selfie Ring Light). Assessment of 20 sets of intraoral photographs (100 individual images) by five IIUM orthodontists using a perceived quality Likert scale of Zero (0) to Ten (10). The assessors and the lead investigator were blinded to the source of the photographs. Reliability was evaluated using a test-retest method on 4 sets of intraoral photographs (20 individual images), a few weeks after their initial assessment. There was no significant difference (p=0.35) in perceived quality of intraoral photographs taken between DSLR and mobile phone, with the mean value of 7.34 and 7.12 respectively. Reliability was good (ICC=0.549). This prospective study showed that there was no statistical difference between the perceived quality of intraoral orthodontic photographs taken with a DSLR camera and a Mobile Phone camera.
