Photographing dentition occlusion needs to be enlarged.

In the whole oral photography, the magnification of 1:2 is needed to photograph the occlusion of dentition.

The magnification of 1:2 is usually selected when photographing dentition occlusion. This kind of magnification can provide appropriate magnification effect, so that the details of teeth can be seen more clearly and the occlusal relationship between teeth can be observed more accurately. Using the magnification of 1:2, the captured image shows half the actual size of the tooth.

Matters needing attention in dentition occlusion shooting:

1, equipment selection

Choose a camera or microscope with high resolution and appropriate magnification options. Ensure the calibration and clarity of the equipment to obtain accurate images.

2. Lighting conditions

Ensure adequate lighting, reduce shadows and reflections, and make teeth clearly visible. Professional oral photography lamps or other suitable light sources can be used.

3. Shooting angle

Choose an appropriate angle to show the occlusal relationship of teeth. You can shoot from different angles, including the front, side and up and down directions, and comprehensively observe the occlusion.

Types, effects and treatment of dentition occlusion;

1, occlusal type

Dentition occlusion is mainly divided into normal occlusion, abnormal occlusion and malocclusion. Normal occlusion refers to the proper contact and cooperation between teeth when the upper and lower teeth are closed. Abnormal occlusion includes open bite, crossbite, deep overbite and crossbite. Malocclusion refers to the displacement or disharmony of jaw and teeth between upper and lower jaws, such as crowded dentition.

2. The influence of dentition occlusion

Dysmastication and abnormal occlusion may lead to uneven chewing and affect the full chewing and digestion of food. Tooth wear and malocclusion may lead to excessive contact or friction between teeth, which may lead to tooth wear and injury. Abnormal occlusion of dentition may produce extra pressure and instability on temporomandibular joint, leading to temporomandibular joint disorder, pain and dysfunction.

3. Orthodontic treatment of dentition occlusion

For abnormal or malocclusion, it is necessary to correct dentition occlusion. Correction methods include traditional fixed correction (such as braces), movable appliances (such as braces and transparent appliances) and orthognathic surgery. Correct corrective measures can improve the arrangement and occlusal relationship of teeth, improve oral health and function, and finally improve the appearance of patients.
