The Digital Patient Consultation – The Basics
Schedule
Communicating with digital technology has transformed how dental professionals interact with their audience – either patients or other dentists. Everything is better, even spectacular! Presentations with color accurate digital photography, combined with High Definition Digital Video (HDV), and vibrant background audio (MP3) that inform, educate, and communicate like nothing before. The future is here –today.
Registration 7:30 – 8:00 am
Digital photography in 2008 is far better than just a few years ago, and this presentation focuses on these new advances. The digital cameras have become better and far easier to use in the dental operatory. The software is also much improved and the presentation will present detailed, on-screen views of how dental professionals can easily use this software in their practices.
Lunch and refreshments for morning and afternoon breaks are included.
The Digital Patient Consultation is a presentation about ‘mastering the basics’ – which is the only road in becoming an advanced user of digital technology. All the important principles will be presented in a simple and fun manner that all skill levels can easily understand. Learning objectives: • How to select a digital camera for your practice. A full guide to the better cameras on the market and which models perform the best for dental professionals. The detailed camera setup for dentistry. • How to capture up-close patient images (macro photography) and how to capture beautiful portrait photographs of your ‘after’ patient cases. • How to make certain that the digital pictures are perfectly color accurate – every time. • The Basic uses of Adobe Photoshop and Microsoft PowerPoint as used specifically in dentistry. • Digital picture file types of JPG, TIFF, and RAW and when/why to use each file type. • Lab communication with both email and print pictures. • Lots more; including cosmetic imaging, histograms, computer selection, custom white balance, color management in dentistry, and graphic art.
Program 8:00 am – 4:00 pm
Dr. Lutke graduated from Baylor College of Dentistry in 1985 and maintains a private practice in Plano, TX, specializing in esthetic zone dentistry.
