FINALS Flashcards
The forerunner of cephalometry
Craniometry
It involves the measurement of craniofacial dimensions of skulls of dead persons
Cephalometry
This method was not practical in living individuals due to soft tissue envelope that made direct measurement difficult and far reliable
Cephalometry
it is the assessment of craniofacial structures that forms a part of orthodontic diagnosis
Craniometry
It is the modification of anthropological studies and craniometry
Cephalometry
At this year, PACINI published the first paper on cephalometry
1922
at 1922, who published the first paper on cephalometry
Pacini
at this year, Broadent (usa) and Hofrath (Germany) introduced and popularized cephalometry
1931
in 1931, they introduced and popularized Cephalometry
Broadent (usa) and Hofrath (Germany)
He introduced the clinical application of cephalometry
Downs
This cephalometric radiography uses two x ray sources and two film holders
Broadent bolton type
this radiography can be taken without moving the subject due to the presence of Lateral and anteroposterior cephalograms
Broadent bolton type
This radiography uses one x ray source and one film holder
highleys type cephalometry
difference of broadent bolton type and Highley’s type radiography
Broadent: 2 xray sources, 2 film holders, no moving of subject
Highley: 1 xray source, 1 film holder, patient is repositioned (less reliable)
these are taken using an apparatus that consist of an xray source and a head holding device
Cephalometric radiograph
It is the head holding device in the cephalometric apparsatus
Cephalostat
It consists of two ear rods preventing movement of head
Cephalostat
How is vertical stabilization achieved in cephalometric radiograph
By orbital pointer contacting lower border of orbit
in cephalometry radiograph, distance between xray source and midsagittal plane of the patient is fixed at __
5 ft
in positioning the patient, this should be parallel to the floor
