25
Q

How do you take Cephlometric?

A
  • 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
Q

Define A point?

A
  • the point of deepest concavity anteriorly on maxillary alveolus
27
Q

Define B point?

A
  • The point of deepest concavity anteriorly on mandibular symphysis
28
Q

Define S sella?

A
  • The midpoint of Sella Turcica ( pituitary fossa)
29
Q

Define N Nasion?

A
  • The most anterior point on fronto- nasal suture
30
Q

SN line define?

A
  • The plane demonstrated by line through the nasion and sella
31
Q

Which angle represents the relative anterior- posterior position of maxilla to cranial base?

A
  • SNA
32
Q

The angle represents the relative anterior - posterior position of the mandible to cranial base?

A
  • SNB
33
Q

Which angle represents the relative anterior posterior position of maxilla to mandible and can used to determine skeletal class?

A
  • ANB
34
Q

What is Eastman correction?

A
  • 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
Q

Wits Appraisal ?

A
  • 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
