25
How do you take Cephlometric?
- It is taken from distance of 1.5m with head at the right angle to the xray beam at distance of 30cm. -Magnification 10% 6 ft distance tube and film - Two ear rods which are placed in external auditory meatus. - Saggital plane should be parallel to xray film - Teeth in centre occlusion - Frankfort plane horizontal.
26
Define A point?
- the point of deepest concavity anteriorly on maxillary alveolus
27
Define B point?
- The point of deepest concavity anteriorly on mandibular symphysis
28
Define S sella?
- The midpoint of Sella Turcica ( pituitary fossa)
29
Define N Nasion?
- The most anterior point on fronto- nasal suture
30
SN line define?
- The plane demonstrated by line through the nasion and sella
31
Which angle represents the relative anterior- posterior position of maxilla to cranial base?
- SNA
32
The angle represents the relative anterior - posterior position of the mandible to cranial base?
- SNB
33
Which angle represents the relative anterior posterior position of maxilla to mandible and can used to determine skeletal class?
- ANB
34
What is Eastman correction?
- it's correction potential inaccuracy in position of Nasion. - If SNA is greater than 81 degrees , 0.5 per degree should be subtracted from ANB - If SNA degree less than 81 degrees, 0.5 per degree should be added to ANB The correction of for ANB can only be applied if SN- maxillary plane within normal range of 8 +/- 3 degrees -E.g SNA is 85 degree - average 81= 4 6 - (0.5*4) = 6-2 = 4 degree
35
Wits Appraisal ?
- To avoid Error associated with discrepancies of position of cranial base within skull - Useful for assessing mandible and maxillary AP relationship seperate from skeletal basses. - Draw perpendicular lines from A point or B point the occlusal plane - BO+1mm ahead of AO (Male) - BO = AO
