I'm an orthodontist and I would like to have recommendations on the best brands/models of digicams that can take sharp and detailed pictures of teeth or any structures inside the mouth. I'm not really a professional photographer, so I prefer "user-friendly" cameras that can meet my above-mentioned needs. Thanks

You'll need an digital SLR camera, plus a macro lens, plus a ring flash.
Point and shoot cameras don't properly light macros, creating shadows which hide detail.
You can set an SLR on "automatic" which will make it function just like a point and shoot. It's just that all those buttons and the size make it intimidating.
I would suggest the Nikon D80, the R1 macro flash, and the Tamron 90mm f/2.8 macro lens as the way to go.
On a budget? The Fujfilm S2 Pro, a Sunpak macro flash with Nikon-compatible module, and the Tamron 90mm would work too.

I highly recommend the oral camera to you. It can take sharp and detailed pictures of teeth or any structures inside the mouth.

You will need a DSLR camera, a macro lens and a ring flash. Go to a real camera store - not a store that sells 10,001 other things and cameras - and talk to a professional camera salesperson. There are also dental supply houses that sell the equipment you need.

By way of this Website a certain Dr. helps me out with cameras. Hopefully he'll see your question, for he might possibly get to the root of your answer.

Anything 5 megapixels or better.
