Evaluation of Intraoral Smartphone Photography for Anterior Restorations Purpose The goal of this observational study was to determine if intraoral digital photography-captured using modern smartphones-can accurately assess the quality of dental fillings (anterior composite restorations) compared to traditional in-person clinical exams.
Evaluating the longevity and quality of dental restorations is a cornerstone of restorative dentistry. Traditionally, the World Dental Federation (FDI) criteria are applied during a physical clinical examination. However, the rise of teledentistry and the accessibility of high-resolution mobile imaging have created a need to validate digital photography as a diagnostic tool. This study investigates whether the convenience of smartphone photography can match the diagnostic "gold standard" of a clinical chairside exam and the technical "gold standard" of a professional DSLR camera.
