Cephalometric Equipment
 Cephalostat or head holder
 X-ray source
 Cassette holder
 Cassette

Two types of cephalostats

Broadbent – Bolton method

Higley method

Specifications:
Distance from the midsagittal plane of the subject’s head to the
X-ray tube = 60” (5ft)
Distance from the midsagittal plane of the subject’s head to the
film = 7”
American convention – subject’s left side to the film
European convention – subject’s right side to the film

Natural Head Position
NHP is a standardized and reproducible orientation of
the head in space when one is focusing on a distant
point at eye level.
1884 – German Anthropological Society – Frankfort Agreement
1956 – William Downs – discrepancies in cephalometric facial
typing and photographic facial typing – Analysis of dentofacial
profile


‘Discrepancies between cephalometric facial typing and
photographic facial typing disappear when a correction is
made for those persons who do not have a level frankfort
plane.’
William Downs(1956)


‘Intracranial landmarks are not stable points in the
cranium, their vertical relationship to each other is
therefore also subject to biologic variation.’
Bjerin (1957)


Definition of terminology
Anthropometry – Measurement of dimensions of the human body
and it’s parts.
Craniometry – Branch of anthropometry dealing with
measurements of dimensions and angles of bony skull.
Cephalometry – Scientific measurement of dimensions of the
‘living’ head.
Cephalometric analysis – Process of evaluating the skeletal,
dental, and soft tissue relationships of a patient by comparing
measurements performed on the patient’s cephalometric tracing
with population norms for respective measurements, to come to a
diagnosis of the patient’s orthodontic problem.

Anteroposterior relationship of the jaws relative to cranium


Rotational effect of the jaws relative to the anterior cranial base


SHORTCOMINGS OF ANB
‘Use of the apical base should be replaced
JENKINS – 1955
by a better method to determine sagittal
TAYLOR – WITS
apical base difference. The1969
appraisal could be used a possible
BEATTY – 1975
alternative.’

JARVINEN – 1985 (1985)
JARVINEN

“ Measurements from the cranial base,
however, do not provide a reliable
expression of anteroposterior jaw
relationship in the dentofacial complex.”

Jacobson

Is the ANB angle a reliable
indicator of jaw discrepancy
or not?

the Bolton’s Standards

Selected values from a group of untreated
children from Burlington research center.

Craniofacial skeleton has been divided into five sections

 Maxilla to cranial base
 Maxilla to mandible
 Mandible to cranial base
 Dentition
 Airway

COGS ANALYSIS


COGS – Cephalometrics for Orthognathic Surgery
Charles J. Burstone – 1978

University of Connecticut

COGS
 Chosen landmarks and measurements can
be altered by various surgical procedures.
 The appraisal includes all facial bones
and a cranial base reference.
 Rectilinear measurements can be readily
transferred to a study cast for mock surgery.

 Critical facial components can be
examined.
 Standards and statistics are available for
variations in age and sex from 5 to 20
 Consists of a series of measurements that
can be computerised.

JARABAK ANALYSIS


Why do we have to think about
Computer aided Cephalometrics
Computers & Cephalometrics
Videocephalometry?


Conclusions:
• Cephalometric analyses are merely aids in helping
the clinician arrive at a diagnosis and treatment
planning.
• All anteroposterior skeletal discrepancies cannot be
corrected to an ideal jaw relationship.
• Cephalometric measurements are not to be
regarded as final points or values and it is not
necessary that values should exactly tally.

• Variation in biology is a rule, therefore a normal
value is never a point so a mean is to be always
considered.
• Serial cephalograms taken during course of
treatment helps us to ascertain whether our treatment
goals are achieved.
• The Wits appraisal is a linear measurement and not
an analysis per se. It is simply an adjunctive
diagnostic aid that may prove useful in assessing the
extent of anteroposterior skeletal dysplasia and in
determining the reliability of ANB angle.

• We should strive to develop cephalometric norms
and values pertaining to an Indian background instead
of using those meant for Caucasian norms.
