Medical - Medical: Dentistry | | English term or phrase: smiles | The design of the intraoral camera is slim and easy to use, with an extended depth of focus system that keeps images-including arches, smiles, quadrants, and single teeth-in focus without camera adjustment.
I have found "Zahnbögen" for arches, and "Quadranten" for quadrants. But now I am having a problem understanding why a dentist would need to take images of his/her patients' smiles. Is a smile something different than a "Lächeln" to a dentist? Any ideas? Thank you for your help. |
| | | Smile lines=Frontzahnlinien | Explanation:
"Smile' maybe here be used short for ‘smile lines’- Frontzahnlinien
www.zahnwissen.de/lexikon_fn-fz.htm
Lachlinie, engl.: smile line; Verbindungslinie der Spitzen der oberen Schneidezähne. Die F. bewirkt u.a., ob ein Lächeln traurig oder fröhlich wirkt. Entspricht die Frontzahnlinie der Lachlinie (Verlauf der oberen Lippe beim Lachen), so verstärkt sich die positive Wirkung des Lachens - verläuft Sie entgegengesetzt dazu, so wird das Lächeln optisch abgeschwächt oder neutralisiert. Korrekturmöglichkeiten durch Kürzen oder Aufbauen der Frontzähne; in der Totalprothetik wichtig bei der Aufstellung und Länge der Kunstzähne
Hier ist von "Frontzahnaufnahmen" die Rede:
