"Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing to add, but when there is nothing to remove" Antoine de Saint-Exupery Presents the results of a study of the performance of aesthetic and artistic restorations and the study of these dental restorations after a certain time with the naked eye and binoculars of two types, while the use of a SLR camera was a prerequisite. Comparative analysis has shown that the use of optical systems during dental manipulations significantly improves the diagnosis of carious and non-carious lesions, facilitates work and reduces the risk of various complications. Clinical photographs are an important component of aesthetic dentistry.
