29. TRACING TECHNIQUE
Tracing supplies and equipment:
• Lateral cephalogram (patient with facial asymmetry often require a frontal
posteroanterior )
• Acetate matte tracing paper, 0.003 inches thick 8 inches x 10 inches.
• A sharp 0.5mm lead point pencil or a very fine felt tipped pen
• Masking tape
• A protractor and tooth-symbol tracing template for drawing the teeth(optional).
Most templates have round holes for tracing the outline of the ear rodes.
• View box.
