Abstract

The line between smartphone and Digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) cameras is becoming less clear, especially in dental photography. This study assessed the knowledge of prosthodontic postgraduate students regarding image quality from both camera types. Approximately 300 students participated in a questionnaire that covered their knowledge, practices and opinions on DSLR versus smartphone photography. Data were analyzed using simple percentages. The results showed that DSLR cameras are still preferred for dental photography among these students.

Keywords
