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 ...

OBJECTIVE To compare the cephalometric and intraoral characteristics between Long Face pattern and Pattern I patients, besides evaluating associations between subjective facial patterns, cephalometric facial patterns and the intraoral characteristics. METHODS Through evaluation of frontal and right side extraoral photographs, three previously calibrated and experienced examiners selected 30 L...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to provide sex-matched three-dimensional (3D) statistical shape models of the mandible, which would provide cephalometric parameters for 3D treatment planning and cephalometric measurements in orthognathic surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS The subjects used to create the 3D shape models of the mandible included 23 males and 23 females. The mandibles were segment...

INTRODUCTION Lateral cephalometric radiographs are traditionally required for orthodontic treatment, yet rarely used to assess asymmetries. OBJECTIVE The objective of the present study was to use lateral cephalometric radiographs to identify existing skeletal and dentoalveolar morphological alterations in Class II subdivision and to compare them with the existing morphology in Class I and II ...

Background: The management of a hyperdivergent growth pattern is one the most challenging in orthodontics and different treatments are advocated. present study analyses effectiveness elastodontic therapy with AMCOP® devices treating children class II malocclusion effect on upper airway patency. Methods: group included 21 patients (10 males 11 females, mean age 8.22 ± 1.17 years) treated devices...

The specific aim of this study was to determine the differences between 6 anthropometric (taken from the surface) and cephalometric (taken from x-rays) measurements and 12 proportion indices formed by the measurements obtained from the face of 51 healthy Caucasoid young adult males and females. The z-score analysis revealed negligible differences in frequency of normal values, in surface measur...

Cephalometric analysis has an important role in dentistry and especially in orthodontics as a treatment planning tool to gauge the size and special relationships of the teeth, jaws and cranium. The first step of using such analyses is localizing some important landmarks known as cephalometric landmarks on craniofacial in x-ray image. The past decade has seen a growing interest in automating thi...

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...
