Photographic Mirrors
Many types of mirrors have been used for clinical photography over time, ranging
from front-silvered mirrors to highly-polished Stainless Steel mirrors.
Front-coated silvered mirrors seem to offer the best image quality and light
distribution over other types of mirrors. With front-silvered mirrors, no “ghost”
image, or “double-layering” occurs. In contrast, when using glass or rear-coated
silvered mirrors, “ghosting” can severely affect the quality of the image, resulting in
haziness or a “Double-Image”. Also, light reflection is not on par with the front-silvered
mirrors, leading to a “dimmed”, darkened image as an end-result.
In addition, it is preferable to use “long-handle” mirrors as they allow better control
and handling by the clinician during the occlusal shots. You can find different sizes for use with different patients depending on age and mouth-opening size, but generally,
Medium-sized mirrors would be fit for use with most patients.
