Cephalometric analysis involves taking x-rays of the skull from different angles and measuring anatomical landmarks and relationships to assess skeletal patterns, dental patterns, and soft tissue profiles. Various instruments and techniques were developed over time to standardize cephalometric x-rays. Key developments included the cephalostat to orient the head in the same position, and advances like digital scans and 3D modeling to capture three-dimensional anatomy. Cephalometric analysis is used for diagnosis, treatment planning, evaluating treatment outcomes, and studying craniofacial growth and relapse.
This document describes a new soft tissue cephalometric analysis tool developed from Arnett and Bergman's facial analysis philosophy. Forty-six adult models were used to create a cephalometric database. Key midface structures are marked using metallic beads on lateral cephalograms. Measurements are made of soft tissue and hard tissue landmarks relative to the True Vertical Line (TVL) to diagnose dentoskeletal factors, soft tissue components, facial lengths, TVL projections, and harmony of facial parts. Cephalometric treatment planning uses the soft tissue analysis to optimize occlusal and facial results through positioning of the incisors, moving the mandible, defining the maxillary occlusal plane, and assessing chin projection.

The objectives of this study were to investigate if a relationship exists between dental arch width and the vertical facial pattern determined by the steepness of the mandibular plane, and to examine the differences in dental arch widths between male and female untreated adults. Lateral cephalograms and dental casts were obtained from 185 untreated Caucasians and measurements of arch width and mandibular plane angle were taken. The results showed that male arch widths were significantly larger than females and that as the mandibular plane angle increased, arch width decreased for both males and females. It was concluded that dental arch width is associated with gender and facial vertical morphology.

This case report describes the endodontic treatment of a rare anatomical finding - a maxillary lateral incisor with two separate root canals. Radiographs revealed two distinct canals in the lateral incisor. Access was gained and both canals were located and treated. The canals were shaped, cleaned and filled using gutta-percha. Post-treatment radiographs confirmed successful obturation of both canals. Maxillary lateral incisors typically have one canal but developmental anomalies can result in extra canals. Careful pre-operative evaluation using radiographs from different angles is important to identify any variations to ensure complete treatment.

Abstract
Introduction: The aim of the study was to determine the most reliable ala-tragus line for the orientation
of the occlusal plane in edentulous patients during complete denture fabrication by cephalometry.
Materials and Methods: Lateral cephalometric radiographs of 37 dentate subjects were taken at
maximum intercuspation. Steel balls were used as radio opaque markers which were adhered to superior
border, middle point, and inferior border of tragus as well as the inferior border of ala of nose. Lead
foil was cemented to cover the mesio-palatal cusp of maxillary first molar. Tracings of cephalogram
were done. Angle between ala-tragus superior, ala-tragus middle and ala-tragus inferior in relation to
occlusal plane were measured. Variables were determined and data were analyzed using SPSS version
17 (SPSS, Inc. Chicago, III).
Results: The angle formed between occlusal plane and ala tragus middle had lowest mean value of
2.39◦
. The highest was measured with ala tragus superior 5.18◦
, while the angle formed with ala tragus
inferior was 3.60◦
. The differences between the three planes in relation to the occlusal plane were
significantly different in total subjects as well as in both males and females (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: Statistical analysis showed that the middle point of the tragus with the inferior border of
the ala of the nose was most accurate in orienting the occlusal plane.
Key words: Camper’s plane, occlusion, complete denture
Introduction
In both natural and artificial dentitions, the
plane of occlusion plays important role in
fulfilling function and esthetics. Orientation of
occlusal plane is lost in edentulous patients. This
should be relocated during complete dentures
fabrication for optimal esthetic and functional
achievement.1
Occlusal plane, anteriorly is
oriented to fulfill requirement of esthetics and
phonetics, and posteriorly for the purpose of
mastication.2
During teeth arrangement, it is
generally advised that artificial teeth be placed
in positions previously occupied by natural
teeth.1
Faulty orientation of occlusal plane
will jeopardize interaction between tongue
and buccinators and result in food collection
in sulcus and biting of cheek or tongue.3
If the
plane is higher posteriorly than anteriorly, it
produces a forward thrust on upper denture, and
a backward thrust on lower denture leading to
looseness of bases, soreness and destruction of
bony foundation.
There are various methods that utilize intraoral
and extra oral landmarks for orientation of
occlusal plane, and the most widely used is ala
tragus line method.4
GPT- 9 defines ala tragus
as “a line running from the inferior border of
the ala of the nose to the superior border on
the tragus of the ear; it is frequently used, with
a third point on the opposing tragus, for the
purpose of establishing the ala-tragus plane;
ideally the ala-tragus plane is considered to be
parallel to the occlusal plane”.5
However, there
are some controversies on the exact points of
reference of ala-tragus line.6

Reliable Ala-Tragus Line for the Orientation of Occlusal Plane by Cephalometry
The aim of the present study was to define the
best posterior reference point of ala-tragus line
for orientation of occlusal plane for complete
denture fabrication.
Methods
Ethical approval for the study was obtained
from Institutional Review Board, National
Academy of Medical Sciences, Bir Hospital.
This cross-sectional study was done among
dentate patients visiting dental department
of Bir Hospital. Thirty seven participants
(19 males, 18 females) meeting the inclusion
criteria: Angle’s Class I molar relation, normal
over jet and over bite with pleasing profile,
presence of all anterior and posterior teeth up
to 2nd
molar, tooth size and anatomy of normal
size and development, ages between 20-35
years without any large dental caries/cavities
or restoration on occlusal surface or incisal
edges of teeth, without crowns or bridges or any
prosthodontic rehabilitation of teeth and with no
history of orthodontic treatment were randomly
selected. Written informed consents were
obtained from the participants. Adhesive tapes
of 3mm diameter were taken to which metallic
balls were adhered with Cyanoacrylate cement.
The tapes were adhered to superior, middle and
inferior border of right tragus and lower border
of ala of nose in the right side. Lead foil of 5 mm
diameter was adhered to cover mesio-palatal
cusp of right maxillary first molar using Zinc
phosphate cement. Lateral Cephalograms of
the participants were made from Carnex Excel
Ceph at maximum intercuspation with the lips
and rest of the body relaxed. Using Cephalostat,
participant's head was fixed bilaterally by
ear rod and anteriorly by a plastic stopper on
bridge of the nose. The ear rods were inserted
into external auditory meatus with appropriate
care to prevent tragus from being forced
anteriorly by direct pressure. The cephalometric
radiographs (Figure 1) were traced manually
onto acetate tracing sheets over an illuminated
viewing box by using the standard technique.
All radiographs were traced by the author on
an average of 5 tracing per day to reduce errors
due to fatigue. The angular measurements were
made with a large protractor to the nearest 0.5
degrees (Figure 2).
The cephalometric points that were used in this
study were the following:
Ala (A): lower border of ala of nose represented
by center of radiopaque shadow of steel ball
attached to lower border of right ala of nose.
Tragus superior (Ts): Superior border of tragus
of ear represented by center of radiopaque
shadow of steel ball attached to superior border
of tragus of ear.
Tragus middle (Tm): Middle point of tragus of
ear represented by center of radiopaque shadow
of steel ball attached to mid-point of tragus of
ear.
Tragus inferior (Ti): Inferior border of tragus
of ear represented by center of radiopaque
shadow of steel ball attached to inferior border
of tragus of ear.
I: Lowest point of incisal edge of maxillary
central incisor.
MP: Lowest point of radiopaque shadow of lead
foil placed over Mesio-palatal cusp of maxillary
right rst molar.
The cephalometric planes and lines used in
this study were the following:
Ala-tragus line Superior (ATs): Line joining
point A with point Ts.
Ala-tragus line Middle (ATm):Line joining
point A with point Tm.
Ala-tragus line Inferior (ATi):Line joining
point A with point Ti.
Occlusal plane (OP): Line connecting lowest
point of incisal edge of maxillary central incisor
(I) with lowest point of Mesio-palatal cusp of
right maxillary rst molar.

The angles that were studied are the following:
ATs-OP: Angle between ATs and Occlusal
plane.
ATm-OP: Angle between ATm and Occlusal
plane.
ATi-OP: Angle between ATi and Occlusal
plane.
Data were entered in SPSS (Statistical package
for social science) program version 17 (SPSS
Inc.,Chicago,III)tocalculatemeanandstandard
deviation of all the angular measurements for
whole sample and for both the genders.
Results
In total subjects, angle formed between OP and
ATm had the lowest mean value of 2.39◦
and
highest was measured with ATs (5.18◦)
, while
the angle formed with ATi was 3.60◦
. The angle
between OP with ATs, ATm and ATi for males
and females is depicted in Table 1.
There was statistically significant differences
between the three planes i.e., ATs, ATm and ATi
in relation to the occlusal plane (p<0.001) in
total subjects (Table 2) and in both males and
females (Table 3). In 66.67% of the participants,
the least angular value was measured with ATm.

Discussion
Cephalometric line and angle analysis can
provide useful information of craniofacial
skeleton and the orientation of occlusal plane
in both dentulous and edentulous subjects.7–9
During fabrication of complete denture, occlusal
plane must be orientated in the most acceptable
cant for esthetics and function. Investigators
have suggested various concepts and methods
for orientation of occlusal plane in complete
dentures based on morphologic studies on
natural and artificial dentitions and on clinical
experience.10–13
Due to absence of any concrete
intraoral and extra oral anatomical landmark,
determination of occlusal plane is prone to
subjective variation. Anatomical landmarks
suggested to clinically determine position of
occlusal plane are upper lip, corner of mouth,
lateral margins of tongue, two-thirds of height of
retromolar pad, parallel to ala-tragus (Camper’s
line) and interpupillary lines,14
parallel to
hamular notch-incisive papilla plane, and 3.3
mm below parotid papilla,15,16
parallel to and
midway between residual ridges17
. The most
widely used method in determining plane of
occlusion is ala tragus line method.4
However,
there are some controversies on exact points of
reference of ala-tragus line.6
In the present study, the angle formed between
occlusal plane and ATm had the lowest mean
value of 2.39◦
. The highest was measured with
ATs 5.18◦
, while the angle formed with ATi was
3.60◦
. This indicates Ala Tragus middle was
closely parallel to occlusal plane compared to
other two planes. The findings of this study
is similar to study conducted by Bondekar et
al18
in which middle border of the tragus was
found to be the most appropriate posterior
reference point. The middle point on tragus
was also recommended as point for establishing
occlusal plane in other studies conducted by
Augsburger,11
Shigli,19
Jayachandran,20
Landa
(1947), Nikzad Javid (1947), Xier and Zhao
(1993), Neil and Narin.2122
Contradictory to the results obtained in the
present study, in the studies by Sadr et al’s,23
Quaranetal.24
andDeogadeetal25
superiorborder
of the tragus with the inferior border of the ala
of the nose was the most accurate in orienting
the occlusal plane. However in the studies by
Saquib et al,26
Van Niekerk,10
Hartono,12
Singh
G,22
Kumar et al.,27
and Chaturvedi et al.,28
the
line marked from inferior point of tragus to ala
of nose was most parallel line with occlusal
plane in dentulous subjects compared to the
lines from superior and middle point of tragus
with ala of nose.
5. 10 Journal of Nepalese Prosthodontic Society (JNPS)
Shrestha L et al.
In the present study using a one sample t
test, it was found that there was a statistically
significant difference between the three planes
i.e., Ala Tragus superior, Ala Tragus middle and
Ala Tragus inferior in relation to the occlusal
plane (p<0.001) in total subjects as well as
for both males and females which means that
using ATm to orient the occlusal plane would
make a significant difference in the esthetics
and comfort of the complete denture.This
indicates that there was no parallelism between
the occlusal plane and ala-tragus line with three
different posterior ends. This findings is similar
to other studies conducted by Sadr et al.23
and
Quran et al.24
As this study was performed in a limited
population, results of this study cannot be
generalized. So, further detailed survey in larger
population is needed.
Conclusion
Within the limitations of the study, it can be
concluded that the ala tragus line drawn from
middle point of the tragus of the ear to inferior
border of ala of the nose is the most accurate
line for the orientation of occlusal plane in
edentulous patients.
