First introduced in 1989, IntraOral Cameras (IOCs) are now used by over 80,000 dental offices in North America today. They have been instrumental in building patients’ trust through visual communication. While other digital SLR cameras are useful, IOCs are best used chairside to show the patient a clear picture of the inside of their mouth, allowing the dentist to consult them on various treatment options, and save the images directly to a patient’s file.
