**Helpful Steps **

 * Adjust the focus according to the type of picture needed and set the focus option before entering the mouth. Auto-focus systems will adjust automatically
 * Set the option for video or picture capture.
 * Stabilize the fulcrum on a tooth surface and start from the most distal part of the mandible to examine the maxillary teeth.
 * Hold the IOC wand flat and parallel to the occlusal plane
 * Slide the IOC wand forward to see the most anterior teeth
 * Ask the client to open and close to improve the focus
 * Use a finger roll technique between the thumb, index, and middle fingers to see the lateral aspect of the teeth
 * Go to the initial position and repeat for the other side
 * Reverse the IOC wand to view lower arch
 * When possible, work on a dry field to obtain a sharper image. ( Obrochta, 2011)

**Disinfection and sterilization **

 * Use of heat, spray and immersion is absolutely contraindicated.
 * Alcoholic solution or antibacterial soap can be used in a wet sterile cloth for wiping.
 * Direct or dry wiping of lenses can scratch them and produce damage.
 * Barrier sleeve with an inner and outer sheaths are preferred
 * Sleeves should be properly placed to avoid blurred images production. (Obrochta, 2011)
