Inside the mouth: "design allows clinicians to capture and display digital images from the patient's mouth, while the camera in the mouth is a valuable tool for patients with education and case documents." Patients don't always accept treatment they don't understand, but a camera in the mouth allows them to see what you see. When you zoom in on a computer monitor or on a TV screen, problems like broken bones can be easier to spot and impossible to ignore. Shaped like a small wand, many of the cameras in the mouth are highly portable and easy to connect to a computer via USB or through a docking station. These digital cameras are usually equipped with leds that capture images without external lighting. While designing for the mouth, some cameras can also capture the patient's full face image.
