Cephalometric Values for Selected
Groups
6. Examen Complementaires ?
• Classification squelettique antero-posterieure
• Angulation des incisives
• Position des tissus mous levres etc
• Profil facial
• Les amygdales ,la langue
• Etude de la croissance maxillo faciale
50. ANALYSIS UTILIZING THE CEPHALOMETRIC
TRACING
1) Describe the subject’s dento-facial morphology
2) Quantitative description of morphological deviations
3) Make diagnostic and treatment planing decisions
2) Evaluate change over time - treatment induced and
growth process
51. Morphological Description
• Skeletal - horizontal and vertical
• Dental - horizontal and vertical
• Comparing individual subject’s tracing to the
“ideal”
• Reference sample
Cross-sectional
Longitudinal - growth studies eg. Bolton-Brush, Ann
Arbor and Burlington
53. Cephalometric Evaluation
• Identification of anatomic landmarks
• Landmarks: stable reference structures and
maxillary and mandibular skeletal and dental
• Graphically relating the dento-facial elements
to these reference structures
• Angular and or linear measurements
54. METHODS OF CEPHALOMETRIC ANALYSIS
• Two basic approaches
• Metric approach - use of selected linear and
angular measures
• Graphic approach - “overlay” of individual’s
tracing on a reference template and visual
inspection of degree of variation
57. GOALS OF CEPHALOMETRIC ANLYSIS
• Evaluating relationships, both horizontal and
vertical of 5 major functional components of
the face:
• the cranial base;
• the maxilla; the mandible,
• the maxillary and mandibular dento-alveolus
68. Limitations of the Metric Method
• Stable reference structures are only relatively
stable
• Validity of landmarks
• Error in landmark identification
76. Children with airway obstruction, when
compared to normal controls, show:
Nasorespiratory Considerations
• Increased total and lower face heights
• More retrognathic mandibles
• Steeper (increased) mandibular plane
angles
• Spontaneous improvement after
reestablishment of normal respiration
