Dental digital camera EyeSpecial C-II - A new option for dental photography

Dental photography can no longer be considered a luxury.

It has become an essential tool for dental documentation, communication with the patient or dental laboratory, and self-assessment and can be used as a diagnostic instrument that should be part of standard procedure in the dental practice. However, taking a photograph outside or inside a patient’s mouth is not easy. In general, dental photography is considered to be low-light conditions macrophotography. Usually, it requires a top-shelf digital SLR camera and special accessories, as well as the requisite experience or training to use these.

Dental digital camera EyeSpecial C-II, which has been designed from the ground exclusively for dentistry, represents a new approach to dental photography. Capturing the full dental arches or a single tooth is now easier than ever before. No advanced settings are needed to obtain perfect images. This can be achieved by an assistant or a dentist and does not require any specialist or expensive training. The quality of the images, exceptional depth of field and predictable results every time make C-II the first choice for all practitioners who want to complete their treatment plan or laboratory prescription with perfect intra- and extra-oral images. It also offers new options to make dental photography an even more useful and convenient tool in everyday practice.
