Presentation Summary Dr. Johnson shares a few rules to follow in order to achieve quality photos: Smile picture: This is the first picture taken. Make sure to shoot this picture at a 90degree angle, with the midline on. Look at the ears, and ensure even amounts of ears are showing. Lips at rest: Have the patient face you with lips apart (not biting down) and say "Emma." At the end of the word, have the patient hold that pose; this will give you the proper positioning of the patient's lips in repose. Lips at rest (side view): Shoot the photo at a 90-degree angle, from the side with patient's lips in repose. Summer 2017 PCSO Bulletin Occlusal shots with mirror (upper and lower): To ensure these photos are taken properly, Dr. Johnson recommends having an assistant help. The patient holds the cheek retractors, the assistant holds the mirror and uses the air syringe to prevent fogging, and you take the photo. Lateral shot: This photo must be taken at a 90-degree angle. The patient holds the retractors, an assistant holds the mirror and uses the air syringe to prevent fogging, and you take the photo. 59
