conclusions pharyngeal airway dimensions, soft palate length, thickness, and position, and hyoid position are not significantly different between skeletal class i and class ii prepubertal children. results no significant difference in the upper airway, soft palate, and hyoid variables was found between the two groups (p > 0.05) and no correlation was found between anb difference and the other v...

introduction: the lack of adequate blood perfusion through different organs of the body, including the brain and skull, can be caused by any type of circulation abnormality. the purpose of this study is to compare cephalometric indices between infants under the age of 12 months who have congenital heart disease (chd) and normal infants. materials and methods: this case-control study was carried...

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...

Aims and objectives: Facial morphology is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors which interact in complex ways to determine the form and function of the craniofacial complex. Many studies have been done to know the amount of heritability of the skeletal components but hardly are known about the heritability of soft tissue pattern which is compared by everyone as soon as the child...

statement of problem comprehensive diagnosis is regarded as an important base for orthodontic treatment. an effective way to reach a correct diagnosis is to compare the craniofacial skeleton of patients with normal cases in the same race through lateral cephalograms. purpose the present study was designed to determine the cephalometric standards of senior high school students in the city of ham...

Till date Cephalometry has largely been limited to the desk in the form of X-ray markings in the literal sense. An obvious amelioration in the form of switching to the digital domain has been mulled over for quite some time. But unfortunately the above mentioned solution is still in its infancy and its potential and implications have not been fully recognized. This paper reflects on an interact...

OBJECTIVES To analyse the ANB and Wits values and to study correlations between those two measurements and other measurements in diagnosing the anteroposterior maxilo-mandibular relationship with CBCT. STUDY DESIGN Ninety patients who had previously a CBCT (i-CAT®) as a diagnostic register were selected. A 3D cephalometry was designed using one software package, InVivo5®. This cephalometry in...
