A preliminary assessment of cephalometric orthodontic superimposition

A preliminary assessment of cephalometric orthodontic superimposition.

The superimposition of cephalograms is a valuable tool in orthodontics. In children this task is complicated by the fact that growth changes in the reference structures used in superimposition should be taken into consideration. In this study a new method of superimposition of cephalograms taken in the natural head position (NHP) was compared with Viazis' cranial base triangle and a reference g...

Cephalometric Superimposition

His famous dissertation, published in 1947, The Face in Profile. An Anthropological X-ray Investigation on Swedish Children and Conscripts, is an outstanding contribution. That monograph became the classic example for numerous scholars to follow so that, 25 years later, a second printing was necessary. research fellow and guest lecturer at Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois. In 1958 h...

Radiographic evaluation of orthodontic treatment by means of four different cephalometric superimposition methods

INTRODUCTION Despite discussion on the merit of various cephalometric superimposition methods, there remains a need to assess which one can be used in daily practice with reasonably accuracy and less working time. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate four methods of cephalometric superimposition by means of assessing the longitudinal changes in craniofacial morphology caused by ...

Influence of magnification and superimposition of structures on cephalometric diagnosis

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of magnification and superimposition of structures on CBCT-generated lateral cephalometric radiographs (LCR) using different segments of the cranium. METHODS CBCT scans of 10 patients were selected. Four LCR were generated using Dolphin Imaging(r) software: full-face, right side, left side and center of the head. A total of 40 im...
