There are several big-name dental camera vendors. Most simply adapt
consumer cameras for dental use by adding flash diffusers and/or lens
attachments for close-up work.
In my own practice, I just use off-the-shelf consumer digital cameras.
There are many models which can "stop down" the built-in flash for
close subjects.
For precise pictures, and ease of use, you can't beat the modified
digital cameras offered by dental-specific vendors. (A Web search
should find them.) But as I am not an international lecturer who needs
huge PowerPoint presentations, the consumer digital cameras save a
heck of a lot of money and fit my needs just fine.
