• Cephalometric radiography is a standardized and reproducible form of skull radiography used extensively in orthodontics to assess the relationships of the teeth to the jaws and the jaws to the rest of the facial skeleton.

1-Orthodontics
1- Initial diagnosis — confirmation of the underlying skeletal and/or soft tissue abnormalities
2-Treatment planning
3- Monitoring treatment progress, e.g. to assess
anchorage requirements and incisor inclination
4- Appraisal of treatment results

2-Orthognathic surgery
1- Preoperative evaluation of skeletal and soft
tissue patterns
2- To assist in treatment planning
3-Postoperative appraisal of the results of
surgery and long-term follow-up studies.

Cephalometric tracing /digitizing
• The outline and inclination of the anterior teeth
• The positional relationship of the mandibular
and maxillary dental bases to the cranial base
• The positional relationship of the dental bases
to one another, i.e. the skeletal patterns
• The relationship between the bones of the
skull and the soft tissues of the face.

Main Cephalometric points
• Sella (S). The centre of the sella turcica, • (determined by inspection). • Orbitale (Or). The lowest point on the infraorbital margin. • Nasion (N). The most anterior point on the frontonasal
suture. • Anterior nasal spine (ANS). The tip of the anterior nasal
spine. • Subspinale or point A. The deepest midline point between
the anterior nasal spine and prosthion. • Prosthion (Pr). The most anterior point of the alveolar crest
in the premaxilla, usually between the upper central incisors.
![Page 16: Cephalomeric radiography](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042513/554b1366b4c9056f098b4b77/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• Infradentale (Id). The most anterior point of the alveolar crest, situated between the lower central incisors.
• Supramentale or point B. The deepest point in the bony outline between the infradentale and the pogonion.
• Pogonion (Pog). The most anterior point of the bony chin. • Gnathion (Gn). The most anterior and inferior point on the bony
outline of the chin, situated equidistant from pogonion and menton.
• Menton (Me). The lowest point on the bony outline of the mandibular symphysis.
• Gonion (Go). The most lateral external point at the junction of the horizontal and ascending rami of the mandible.
• Note: The gonion is found by bisecting the angle formed by tangents to the posterior and inferior borders of the mandible.

Posterior nasal spine (PNS). The tip of the posterior spine of the palatine bone in the hard palate.
Articulare (Ar). The point of intersection of the dorsal contours of the posterior border of the
mandible and temporal bone.
Porion (Po). The uppermost point of the
bony external auditory meatus, usually regarded
as coincidental with the uppermost point of the
ear rods of the cephalostat.
![Page 19: Cephalomeric radiography](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042513/554b1366b4c9056f098b4b77/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Main cephalometric planes and angles
Frankfort plane. A transverse plane through the skull represented by the line joining porion and orbitale. Mandibular plane. A transverse plane through the skull representing the lower border of the horizontal ramus of the mandible. There are several definitions: • A tangent to the lower border of the mandible • A line joining gnathion and gonion • A line joining menton and gonion.
![Page 20: Cephalomeric radiography](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042513/554b1366b4c9056f098b4b77/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Maxillary plane. A transverse plane through the skull represented by a joining of the anterior and posterior nasal spines. SNplane. A transverse plane through the skull represented by the line joining sella and nasion. SNA. Relates the anteroposterior position of the maxilla, as represented by the A point, to the cranial base. SNB. Relates the anteroposterior position of the mandible, as represented by the B point, to the cranial base. ANB. Relates the anteroposterior position of the maxilla to the mandible, i.e. indicates the anteroposterior skeletal pattern — Class I, II or III.

CEPHALOMETRIC ANALYSIS
![Page 24: Cephalomeric radiography](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042513/554b1366b4c9056f098b4b77/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
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
![Page 25: Cephalomeric radiography](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042513/554b1366b4c9056f098b4b77/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Morphological Description
• Skeletal - horizontal and vertical
• Dental - horizontal and vertical
• Comparing individual subject’s tracing to the “ideal”
![Page 26: Cephalomeric radiography](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042513/554b1366b4c9056f098b4b77/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
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
![Page 27: Cephalomeric radiography](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042513/554b1366b4c9056f098b4b77/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
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
![Page 28: Cephalomeric radiography](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042513/554b1366b4c9056f098b4b77/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

• 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

![Page 46: Cephalomeric radiography](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042513/554b1366b4c9056f098b4b77/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
2-Cephalometric postero-anterior of the jaws
• This projection is identical to the P view except that it is standardized and reproducible. This makes it suitable for the assessment of facial asymmetries and for preoperative and postoperative comparisons in orthognathic surgery involving the mandible.
