CEPHALOMETRY
DEFINITION
• Cephalometry – Measurement of the head and face by use of bone
and soft tissue points derived from a specific reproducible radiograph
called a cephalogram.
USES
• Assess bony relationships of face and relationships of jaws and teeth.
• Used for planning orthodontic and surgical treatment.
• Studying growth and development of head and face.
TECHNIQUE
• Standardized lateral head radiograph is done by keeping x-
ray beam, subject and film distances constant.
• Subject head held in position by CEPHALOSTAT.
• Lateral cephalometric head radiograph produced –
CEPHALOGRAM.
• Analysis done by x-ray view box and acetate film for
tracing.

OCCLUSION
OCCLUSION
Contact relationship of the upper
and lower teeth during various
activities of the mandible
(mastication, swallowing and
speech)
Centric occlusion
The relation of the upper and
lower teeth when they are in
maximum intercuspation during
swallowing and the terminal position
of the masticatory stroke.
HISTORY
• The founder of contemporary
orthodontics, Edward Angle,
attempted to treat his patients’
occlusion with reference to the
occlusion of a skull displayed on a
shelf in his clinic.
• This skull was affectionately termed
‘Old Glory’.

NORMAL OCCLUSION - ANGLE
• Mesiobuccal cusp of
maxillary 1st molar
occludes into the buccal
groove of the mandibular
1st molar
OVERBITE & OVERJET
• Overbite
Amount of vertical overlap
maxillary central incisors have
over mandibular central incisors.
• Overjet
Amount of anterior projection
the maxillary central incisors have
beyond the mandibular incisors.
• Normal value – 1-3 mm
• Lack of overbite – Open bite

maxillary first molar
occluding into the buccal
groove of the mandibular
