NEW YORK, N.Y., USA: The new EyeSpecial C-II auto-focus smart digital camera, available from Shofu Dental Corp., is designed to make taking high-quality, professional-level photographs simple for dentists and assistants. “From my perspective, it takes phenomenal images with clarity, with a great depth of field,” said Dr. Ron Kaminer of Hewlett, N.Y., a user of the camera who spoke with Dental Tribune during an interview at the Greater New York Dental Meeting.

“It’s great for documentation purposes, for lab purposes or to show something to a patient,” Kaminer said.

Perhaps best of all, Kaminer said, the camera is “dentist- and assistant-proof” — meaning it is incredibly easy to use. “You really can’t make a mistake with this camera,” he said. “There is no learning curve.”

From a functional perspective, it has a smart touch screen that brings up a variety of customized programs. There is a standard mode, a mode for surgery and a mirror-image mode. It can take a full-face shot, and there is a whitening program. A drawing tool allows the dentist to draw directly on the screen, making it an integrated teaching camera. In addition, custom modes can also be programmed in.

A shade-matching tab for sending images to the lab is especially helpful, Kaminer said. In this mode, the camera has internal filters that gray out the lips, removing extraneous color information. That way, he said, the lab can create an ideal color match.

“You are sure you are going to get the proper shade when you get it back from the lab,” Kaminer said.

The camera is WiFi-enabled, making it easy to share images wirelessly. Other features and benefits of the camera include its light weight and the fact that it is fully insulated with a smooth surface, enabling it to be wiped down with disinfectant.

Perhaps what makes the camera most valuable, Kaminer said, is how well the teaching tool allows him to interact with patients.

“There is no question — a picture is worth a thousand words. The cliché is really legit,” he said. “This camera makes ‘selling dentistry’ much more easy.
