                                 Photography have increasingly come to occupy an important place in medicine, in medical clinical specialties
                                 and a predominant role in dentistry.
                                 Over time, a number of authors have been concerned with presenting their experience in photography, re-
                                 spectively in dental photography.
                                 Dr. Irfan Ahmad, a member of the European Academy of Aesthetic Dentistry, author of numerous books on
                                 photography and dental aesthetics, presents over 10 chapters gathered in 3 sections detailing his experience
                                 in the book entitled "Essentials of dental photography".
                                 Section 1, Equipment and Concepts presents the photographic equipment (cameras, lens, lighting and sup-
                                 ports), dental armamentarium and clinical considerations, technical concepts and settings, composition
                                 (dominance, positioning, leading the eye, balance) and standardization.
                                 Section 2, Photographic Set-ups describes extra and intra oral images, portraiture, bench images and special
                                 applications (detailed analysis of hard and soft tissue, color fidelity, shade analysis, scale reference markers,
                                 tooth whitening, phonetics, occlusal analysis and endodontic documentation).
                                 Section 3, Processing Images discusses image processing (monitor calibration, imaging software, color spaces,
                                 white balance, orientation, scaling and cropping) and exporting, managing and using images.
                                 Each chapter is richly illustrated and accompanied by significant recent references
                                 "Essentials of dental photography" is a valuable guide for dental practice, useful for both dentists and dental
                                 assistants, dental technicians, but also young graduates for follow-up treatments, archiving information in the
                                 current activity and educating patients.
