Abstract

In the prior chapters, we have discussed how to take different kinds of clinical dental images. Nowadays, most dental practitioners have no difficulty to browse, view, store or manage images on a computer. As a result that part is omitted in this book, which however, you may find in earlier editions. In this chapter, we would focus on how to adjust images by some simple application of Photoshop, and the procedure of introducing acquired clinical images into the Digital Smile Design process.
