Objective. To study the correlation between lateral cephalogram, flexible laryngoscopy, and sleep study in patients diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Background. Screening tools should be devised for predicting OSA which could be performed on an outpatient basis. With this aim we studied the skeletal and soft tissue characteristics of proven OSA patients. Methods. A prospective stud...

Introduction: Recognition of sex is an important aspect of identification of an individual. Apart from pelvis, skull exhibits highest sexual dimorphism in the human body. Lateral cephalograms are an invaluable tool in identification of sex as they reveal architectural and morphological details of the skull on a single radiograph. The equipment required for lateral cephalometry is readily availa...

In this case 7-year-old boy with severe distal bite caused by mandibular retrognathism was treated Fränkel functional regulator type Ic. Aim: The aim of paper to show main skeletal and dental effects I in early treatment bite. Appropriate timing for usage appliance can successfully correct avoid later prolonged orthodontic treatment. Material method: mixed dentition Class II treated. Before cli...

Skeletal relationships in the sagittal plane do not always correspond with dental relationships. The aim of this study was to determine in which type of malocclusion the correlation between overjet and skeletal sagittal parameters assessed by lateral cephalogram analysis is the highest. The extent to which overjet can predict skeletal relationships in the sagittal plane was also assessed. Eight...

Purpose: This study aimed to design and evaluate a novel method for the registration of 2D lateral cephalograms 3D craniofacial cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images, providing patient-specific structures from cephalogram without additional radiation exposure. Methods: We developed cross-modal deformable model based on deep convolutional neural network. Our approach took advantage low-dim...

CONTEXT In a developing country like India, where expensive cephalometric apparatus is unavailable everywhere, photography assumes importance for diagnostic and treatment planning procedures as it is low cost and less technique sensitive. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare and correlate craniofacial measurements from cephalometric radiographs with analogous measurements ...

PA cephalogram has been used in orthodontic for the treatment of asymmetry. The PA cephalogram provides information useful for facial asymmetric evaluation and for evaluation of the craniofacial skeleton and dentoalveolar structures in frontal plane. We know how PA cephalogram is a projection of a three-dimensional skeletal structures, into a two-dimensional surface of the film. Therefore, this...

The enlargement of the frontal sinus has been analysed in a longitudinal study of 49 males and 47 females for whom a first lateral cephalogram was available at from 2 to 5 years of age for 88 subjects and from 6 to 11 years for 8 subjects. Thereafter the cephalograms were taken at approximately yearly intervals and in 28 subjects a last cephalogram was taken at 24 years or older. In only six su...
