Resumo:
Introduction: The use of digital photographs in dental clinics is increasing and allows the dentist a range of possibilities: it helps in the diagnosis and prognosis of dental diseases, in communication with colleagues and with dental laboratories, in addition, it is a supporting documentation judicial system and a means of publicizing and promoting the profession. Revision: Dental photography is an integral part of the dental record and communication with patients, so all patients should have photos taken of their initial and final condition. Almost 72% of dentists are adept at the technique, which is used mainly in orthodontics, aesthetic dentistry, in soft tissue analysis (nasopalatine cleft) and in the differentiation of pathologies in the oral mucosa (leukoplakia / lichen planus). Discussion: Knowledge of various methods of tampering and editing of images brings out the forgery. Digital photographs for dental records and legal protection must be standardized and closer to reality, that is, without modifications and effects that alter the original image. Final considerations: Digital photographs are often used for documentation, marketing, patient education, and peer-to-peer communication. However, the falsification of images for marketing purposes and the disapproval of some patients, due to the exposure of the image, discomfort and shyness in front of the cameras, prevent digital dental photographs from being used in all cases and mandatory recording in the medical record.
