6. DIAGNOSIS
SOME
DIAGNOSIS ARE
EASY,MANY ARE DIFFICULT
AND FEW ARE IMPOSSIBLE-YET
ALL ARE IMPORTANT,FOR
DIAGNOSIS IS THE TRUMP
FACTOR IN PROVIDING
ORTHODONTIC CARE.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
8. MEANING
STRANG: “There is nothing
complicated about making a diagnosis
in orthodontia, for the moment one has
detected a deviation from normal
occlusion and so determines that there
is malocclusion, the diagnosis is
complete.”
ANGLE: Normal occlusion, favorable
function& acceptable dentofacial
esthetics represented an identity.
This process could be called the
TRADITIONAL APPROACH.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
9.
CASE,HELLMAN &SIMON: Orthodontic
diagnosis required a deeper understanding
of the orthodontic problem. The concepts of
dental and skeletal problem can be credited
to these men. RATIONAL APPROACH
MOORREES & GRON: Dental, skeletal,
muscular factors and the somatic and
emotional development of an individual.
They also considered personal and societal
factors. This view is called the OVERALL
DIAGNOSIS.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
10. DEFINITION
THOMAS RAKOSI: The recognition
and systematic designation of
anomalies, the practical synthesis of
the findings, permitting therapy to
be planned and indication to be
determined, thereby enabling the
doctor to act.
Orthodontic diagnosis requires a
broad overview of the patient’s
situation.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
12. COMPREHENSIVE DIAGNOSIS
Orthodontic diagnosis should be
routinely based on various methods
of examination.
The COMPREHENSIVE
DIAGNOSIS should be a summary
of the most important facts and
should not take insignificant
secondary symptoms into account.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
15. DIAGNOSIS &TREATMENT
PLANNING
Recognize the various characteristics of
malocclusion and dentofacial deformity.
Define the nature of the problem
including the etiology if possible.
Design a treatment strategy based on
specific needs and desires of the
individual.
Present the treatment strategy to the
patient in such a way that the patient
fully understands the ramifications of the
treatment.

attitude.
Indicator of pt’s susceptibility
towards Pdl. ds. or caries.
H/O traumatic injury to teeth:
orthodontic treatment exacerbate
periapical symptoms that are
already present.
Dental health awareness

walking in a young child,
enuresis in an older child.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
35. SCHOOL PROGRESS
To know about learning disability.
If present
modify approach.
Pts have short attention span
To much of detailed information
about treatment can produce
anxiety.
Reduce responsibility of the patient.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
36. MOTIVATION
EXTERNAL OR INTERNAL
External: supplied by pressure by another
individual.
Internal: comes from within based on his
or her own assessment of the situation.
A child or an adult who feels that the
treatment is being done for him will be a
more receptive patient than one who feels
that the treatment is being done to him.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
37. EXPECTATION
HIGH, MODERATE, LOW
What patient expects from
treatment is related to the type of
motivation.
If the patient expects social
adjustment problems to be solved
after treatment then he or she is a
poor candidate for orthodontic
treatment.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
38. COOPERATION
Problem with the child than the
adult.
Factors important are:
The extent to which the child sees
the treatment as benefit as opposed
to something else he or she is
required to undergo.
The degree of parental control. A
rebellious child with ineffective
parents is likely to become a
problem.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
39. FAMILY / GENETIC HISTORY
Any siblings of the patient require
any orthodontic treatment.
Parents ever underwent orthodontic
treatment.
The tissues primarily affected are:
NEUROMUSCULAR SYSTEM
TEETH: Size, shape , number,

the studies of dry skulls are
measured in living individuals by
using soft tissue points overlying
the bony landmarks.
Measurement made with st. or bow
calipers. www.indiandentalacademy.com
63. ADVANTAGES
Allows to follow
the growth of an
individual directly,
making the same
measurement
repeatedly at diff.
times.
Assessment of
general pattern of
craniofacial
growth.
DISADVANTAGES

& the contact pt. of the lower
incisors is deviated.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
68. LATERAL VIEW-PROFILE
“Poor man’s cephalometric analysis”
Goals: To establish whether the jaws
are placed proportionately in the
anteroposterior plane of space.
2 lines are drawn: one from the bridge of
the nose to the base of the upper lip &
the 2nd one extending from that pt.
downward to the chin. These line
segments should form a straight line.
Angle: CONVEX PROFILE: Skeletal

CONCAVE PROFILE: Skeletal class 3
www.indiandentalacademy.com
70. DIVERGENCE OF FACE
MILO HELLMAN
Defined as an anterior or posterior
inclination of the lower face relative to the
forehead.
Profile: straight: does not matter whether
it slopes anteriorly (anterior
divergence) or posteriorly (posterior
divergence)
Divergence does not indicate facial or
dental disproportion whereas profile
concavity or convexity does indicate
disproportion, but does not by itself
indicate which jaw is at fault.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
72. EVALUATION OF LIP POSTURE
&INCISOR PROMINENCE
Teeth protrude: The lips are prominent &
everted.
The lips are separated at rest by more than
3-4mm.
Excessive protrusion: Revealed by
prominent lips that are separated when
relaxed, so that the pt. must strain to bring
the lips together, RETRACTION of the
teeth alone tend to improve lip function &
facial esthetics.
But if the lips are prominent & close over
the teeth without strain, the lip posture is
largely independent of tooth position. In
these individuals retracting the incisors
www.indiandentalacademy.com
would have little effect on the lip function.
73.
The lip posture &
prominence should be
evaluated by viewing
the profile with the
pts. lip relaxed.
The upper lip is
related to a true
vertical line passing
through the soft tissue
pt. A & the lower lip is
related to a true
vertical line passing
through the soft tissue

89. STEREO PHOTOGRAMMETRY
Use of stereophotogrammetry was first
reported by Thalmaan-degen in 1964.
It involves photographing a three
dimensional object from 2 different
coplanar views in order to derive a 3
dimensional reconstruction of an image.
The landmarks are identified in 3
dimensions to allow tracking of relative
changes in the location of the landmarks as
a result of growth, development,
mandibular movement, injury, skeletal
malformation & treatment.
Captures the human face well.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
90.
A 3 dimensional X-ray stereometry is
produced from paired coplanar images in
order to allow accurate merging of 3
dimensional coordinate data from head
films, study casts & facial photographs.
Two photographs are taken with 2 semimetric cameras, which form a
STEREOPAIR. The cameras are mounted
on a frame with a dist. Of 50cm b/w
them,& positioned convergently with an
angle of 15 degrees. With the use of a
analytical plotter & a stereopair a 3
dimensional image of an object is created.
ADV.-Noninvasive
By combining X-rays with the principles of
stereophotogrammetry changes in the bone
density can be tracked in 2 dimensions.
Gives a good impression of the surface of
the object.

91. ORTHODONTIC APPLICATIONS
“Method
for quantifying facial asymmetry in
3 dimensions using stereophotogrammetry”
Angle orthod. Vol.65 No.3 1995
Is a 3 dimensional method to quantify facial
morphology for the purpose of diagnosis.
Detect changes in the facial morphology
during growth & development.
Detects asymmetries.
Assessing facial contour, surface
appearance of the face.
Evaluation of treatment results.

92. CONTOUR PHOTOGRAPHY
Uses grid projections during exposure
resulting in standardized contour lines on
the face.
It is a light scanning technique for three
dimensional facial measurement, in which
telecentric lences are used to eliminate
divergence.
Suited for smoothly contoured surfaces.
Used as an alternative to
stereophotogrammetry for three
dimensional facial measurement.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
93. USES
DISADVANTAGES
Records the shape

Facial symmetry
Changes due to
growth.
To study changes
following surgery.
Profile
Difficulties are
encountered if a
surface has sharp
features.
Great care is
needed in

Relationship of the forehead is considered
to the bizygomatic width. It can be
described as Narrow or wide.
The lateral forehead contour or the slope of
the forehead could be Flat, protruding,

97. NOSE
Nasal growth & its
contribution to profile.
Can be in both vertical & anteroposterior projection. More in
vertical.
Males>Females-10-16 yrs. The
center of this spurt at the age of
12yrs.
Females-spurt for nasal growth12yrs.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
98.
Genecov et al “Development of nose & soft
tissue profile” Angle orthod 60(8)191,1990
stated that:
Nasal projection in females remains virtually
constant from age 12.Thus a orthodontist
evaluating a pt. of class 2 at this age could
expect only a reasonable increase in the
nasal projection. There is a sharp peak in the
nasal tip projection b/w ages 9&10
Nasal projection in males continued from
ages 12-17yrs.Thus any procedure that
results in upper lip retraction in combination
with anterior nasal growth would produce
less than optimal relationship b/w the lips &
the nose
www.indiandentalacademy.com
99. SIZE OF THE NOSE
The vertical nasal length measures 1/3rd of
the total facial ht. (dist. From hairline to
gnathion)
The relationship b/w vertical & horizontal
length of the nose is 2:1.
Microhinic type: The root of the nose is
high, short nasal bridge & an elevated tip.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
101. LIPS
COMPETENT: Slight contact of the lips
when the musculature is relaxed.
Up to 4mm of lip separation is normal
especially in young children.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
102. INCOMPETENT LIPS
Is defined as the inability to seal the lips without
excessive strain.
Anatomically short upper lip which do not contact
when the musculature is relaxed.
Lip seal is achieved after active contraction of
orbicularis oris & mentalis muscle
.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
103.
Vig & Cohen “Vertical growth of the
lips, A serial cephalometric study”
A.J.O 75:405 1979
Both upper & lower lip grew more
than the skeletal lower face.
The lower lip grew vertically more
than the upper lip.
Most children exhibited lip
incompetence at age 6-8 yrs. This is
due to incomplete soft tissue growth
& should be considered normal.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
104. POTENTIALLY INCOMPETENT EVERTED LIPS
Lip seal is
prevented due to
protruding max.
incisors despite
normally
developed lips.
These are
hypertrophied lips
with redundant
tissue & weak
muscular tonicity
www.indiandentalacademy.com
105. VERTICAL LIP RELATIONSHIP
In a balanced face the length of the
upper lip measures 1/3rd the lower
lip & the chin 2/3rd of the lower face
ht.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
106.
The upper incisal edge exposure with
the upper lip at rest should be
normally 2mm.
It is important to distinguish
excessive exposure of teeth caused
by over eruption of the incisors from
that caused by underdevelopment of
the upper lip.

MAX. DENTAL ARCH (APICAL CROWDING)
Upper post. teeth are tilted buccally in comparison
to their apical base.
Cranially convergent tangents of the posterior
buccal tooth surface imply that the basal bone is
smaller than the dental arch.
Expansion of the dental arch is contraindicated.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
135. BROAD APICAL BASE
The apical base is wider than the dental arch & the
posterior teeth are tipped lingually. Discrepancy is
indicated by interdental spacing.
The tangents of the post. buccal surfaces converge
occlusally.
Expansion therapy is indicated.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
136. CARIOUS TEETH
Orthodontic treatment is
contraindicated when carious teeth
are present.
There is reduced enamel resistance
which is a contraindication for fixed
appliance treatment.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
137. WEAR FACETS
Occlusal abrasions are a result of
attrition & indicative of
parafunctional mandibular
movements.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
139. INTERARCH DISCREPANCIES
NEUTRO-OCCLUSION
The anteroposterior relationship of the
maxillary and mandibular molars is correct,
with the mesiobuccal cusp of the maxillary
1st molar occluding in the mesiobuccal
groove of the mandibular 1st molar.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
140. CLASS - 2
DISTO OCCLUSION
The lower dental arch is in a distal
relationship to the upper dental arch. The
mesiobuccal groove of the mandibular 1st
molar contacts the distobuccal cusp of the
maxillary 1st molar
www.indiandentalacademy.com
141. CLASS - 3
MESIO-OCCLUSION
The mandibular 1st molar is mesial to the
maxillary 1st molar and the mandibular
incisors are in anterior crossbite.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
142. OVERBITE
The vertical overlap 0f
the maxillary incisors
over the mandibular
incisors is termed as
OVERBITE.
The maxillary and the
mandibular incisors
should be in contact in
order to prevent supra
eruption of the
mandibular incisors
www.indiandentalacademy.com
143. VARIATIONS IN THE BITE - DEEP
BITE
INVERTED OVERBITE
CROWN LENGTH
CLOSED BITE: Due to premature
loss of posteriors.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
144. OVERJET- MEAN VALUE-2mm
Is the term used to
express the horizontal
distance between the
most labial surface of
the mand. Incisor and
the incisal edge of the
max. incisor.
Equal to the labio
lingual thickness of the
max. incisor edge.
Reflects the
anteroposterior
relationship
Sensitive to abnormal
lip and tongue function.
Variations are due to
abnormal position of
either upper or lower
incisors.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
145. CURVE OF SPEE
It refers to the
anteroposterior
curvature of the
occlusal surface
beginning at the tip of
the lower cuspid &
following cusp tip of
bicuspids & molars
continuing as an arc
through the condyle.
Results in the alignment
of teeth to offer max.
resistance to functional
loading.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
146.
Excessive:
restricts the amt.
space available for
the upper teeth.
Normal: Flat
Reverse: creates
excessive space in
the upper jaw.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
147. CROSS BITE
An abnormal relationship of one or more teeth to
one or more teeth of the opposite arch ,in the
buccolingual or labiolingual direction.
Can be dental or skeletal.
Can be either unilateral or bilateral.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
149. INTRA ARCH DISCREPANCY
Occlusal view of the orthodontic casts:
crowding, spacing & rotation.
“Arch width and form” A.J.O
1999:115:305-313 Robert et al:
Male arches grow wider than female.
Lower intercanine width does not increase
after 12yrs.
Little changes occur in the premolar arch
width after the age of 12.
The upper & lower intermolar width
increases to a considerable extent b/w ages
7 & 18.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
150. Expansion
can be applicable to a
growing child. There is no evidence
that appliance can stimulate growth
beyond that which would occur
normally.
Arch expansion is more stable in the
absence of extractions & is most
effective in the posterior region. There
is unlikely to be stable expansion in the
lower intercanine width unless the
canines are displaced lingually.
Expansions of the arches posteriorly
can be achieved more readily where
anteroposterior movement of the
arches take place.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
151. VISUAL TREATMENT OBJECTIVE
Can give an excellent clue whether any
functional appliance that postures the
mandible forward would improve the
facial appearance & the profile.
The patient is asked to to posture the
mandible forward into a correct sagittal
relationship.
Profile improves-motivates the pt. to
achieve a treatment goal.
Not improved-other forms of treatment
are required.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
152.
Indicated in: Functinal retrusion,
deep overbites excessive
interocclusal clearances with a
normally positioned maxilla.
V.T.O: manually or cephalometric
tracing
Tracing represents the changes
expected or desired during
treatment.
In a child the V.T.O would have to
incorporate the expected growth,
any growth changes induced during
treatment & any repositioning of
teeth expected from orthodontic
tooth movement.

155. HOLOGRAMS
Holography uses laser light to reproduce
a very high quality, three dimensional
image of the cast. The recorded image is
called a HOLOGRAM.
The first hologram was produced by
LEITH & UPATNIEKS in 1964.
They permit three dimensional model
analysis, superimpositions & storage.
HOLOGRAPHIC VIEWS: Frontal,
occlusal,Rt. buccal & left buccal.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
156. Holograms in orthodontics: A.J.O Oct

www.indiandentalacademy.com
160. ADVANTAGES
Convenient, low bulk
Resistant to almost all destructive agents apart
from fire. These films may be scratched or bent or
covered in dust without interfering with the latent
image.
Superimposition of images is possible, thus
detection of any changes & tooth movement are
possible.
Holographic image can be measured in 3
dimensions.
Ease in storage, transportation
Cost similar to conventional photography.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
161. DISADVANTAGES
Inability to place the holograms
immediately next to the patient’s
mouth to make side by side
comparisons.
Cannot be adjusted once made.
Incorrect occlusion of the models
when the holograms are being
made.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
162. OCCLUSOGRAMS
Involves positive-print 1:1 photographs of
dental casts. The tracings of these
photographs are called as occlusograms.
These are actual size photographs of the
occlusal surface of the dental cast.
Developed by C.J BURSTONE in 1961.
Thus combining occlusograms &
cephalometric head films it now possible to
make treatment discussions in all three
planes of space.
TECHNIQUES: Photographic &
photocopying

registration track on the oclusostat for the
placement of the cast.
The occlusal surfaces of the teeth are flush with
the leading edge of the oclusostat which is also
the focal length of the camera.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
164.
The recommended focal length of
the camera:210mm & can be stopped
down to f:45 for the best depth of
field.
The dist. from the leading edge of the
occlusostat to the camera lens &
from the camera lens to the film is
abt.42cm.At these settings no
enlargement is found.
Exposure time:5-30 secs. depending
on the lighting (incandescent to
florescent) & the film can be
processed with X-ray developer &
fixer.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
165. OCCLUSOGRAM PROCEDURE
The occlusal surfaces of the upper & lower dental
casts are photographed in a 1:1 ratio & a tracing is
made using the photographs.
4 into 5 inch positive film transparencies are ideal.
These transparencies allow the occlusograms to be
held one over the other to examine cuspal relations.
However for treatment planning purpose tracings
are still required.
These photographs can be taken either with a
35mm camera & enlarged to a 1: 1 magnification or
with a 4 into 5 inch Polaroid camera for 1:1 instant
photographic prints. Photographic prints are ideal for
tracing purposes. One problem with these positive
film traspararencies is the maintenance of the
accurate orientation of the dental cast, which needs
to be trimmed in the centric relation position
www.indiandentalacademy.com
166.
Impressions are made-casts are poured &
trimmed.
The posterior borders are trimmed
perpendicular to the occlusal plane & the
palatal midline. They are in flush with
each other when the casts are in C.R. The
bases are parallel to the occlusal plane.
Wax jaw registration is made with the
mandible in most retruded position,
recording the occlusal surfaces without
perforating the wax.
For lateral orientation each cast has an
extended registration groove.
The casts are then finished & polished.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
167. OCCLUSOGRAM TRACING
For the occlusogram tracing acetate paper with the
rough side up is placed over the occlusograms & the
max. & mand. teeth are outlined ,showing the
gingival tooth contour, incisal edges, buccal cusp
ridges, central grooves & cusp tips, the upper &
lower registration lines, mid sagittal reference line
based on the mid palatal raphe & incisive papilla.
“R” & “L” should be marked on the right & left sides
to avoid confusion.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
168. TECHNIQUE USING
PHOTOCOPYING
The study models are prepared as
described earlier.
With models in the centric relation & teeth
in occlusion three marks on each model
are made. i.e. on the rt. & lt. side of the
buccal segment & in the midline.
The casts are then photocopied on a
Xerox machine & the occlusal photocopy
is used to obtain a tracing.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
169. ORTHODONTIC APPLICATIONS
Determine arch form & width.
Arch length discrepancies (crowding or spacing).
To estimate occlusal relationships.
To estimate tooth movements in all three planes.

extraction cases.
The presence & extent of skeletal asymmetries.
Presence & extent of tooth mass discrepancies.
Determines changes in the cant of occlusal plane.
Aid in arch wire construction.
Growth changes in the arch can be seen with the
help of the tracings.
Quantifying treatment progress.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
170. DISADVANTAGES
Not very accurate.
Time consuming
Possibility of using a occlusogram
with a head film produces difference
in magnification.
To overcome this a user friendly
software was developed…………!
www.indiandentalacademy.com
171. 3-D OCCLUSOGRAM SOFTWARE
A.J.O Sept. 1999

172. ADVANTAGES
Combination of lateral cephalometric image
with the occlusal views of the upper & lower
dental casts complete the 3 dimensional set
up of the patient.
Demonstrates all the treatment
possibilities. All the needed movements of
the teeth are clearly visible on the occlusal
views in the 3 planes of space allowing the
design for the “custom made appliance” &
the lateral cephalogram shows the planned
displacement for the molars & the incisors.
The software can simulate the results of
standard surgical procedures.

173. e-MODELS-3D Digital dental models using
laser technology- J.C.O (2)-2003
Three dimensional digital study model.
Methods of producing digital models:
Destructive imaging: Removes the part
of the cast ,a little at a time ,while it is
being imaged.
Non destructive imaging: Uses
structural light ,laser light or x-rays to
image while leaving the original cast
intact.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
174.
e - models: are
constructed through a
laser scanning process
that digitally maps the
geometry of a patient’s
dental anatomy to a
high resolution 3D
digital image with an
accuracy of .+ 01mm.A
laser stripe is projected
onto the surface of the
plaster cast & a digital
camera is used to
analyze distortions in
the stripe. The plaster
cast is oriented on all
axes to expose all its
surfaces for scanning.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
175.
This process produces 3D vertices
that are connected into thousands
of triangles to form the 3D image.
The software then displays the emodel on the computer screen by
assigning color shades to each
triangle based on its relative
orientation to a digital light source.
This results in a high-resolution 3D
image that can be viewed measured
& manipulated on the computer
screen as if the cast is in your hand.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
176. ADVANTAGES OF e-model
Measurements can be made in any plane or
orientation.
Various analysis such as Bolton’s analysis, arch
width & length analysis can be done.
Cross-sectional tools allow e-models to be sliced in
any vertical or horizontal plane to check symmetry,
overjet, overbite & complete measurements at any
location.
Permits analysis of occlusal relationships.
