Steiner analysis with SNA angle
It was believed that the cranial base was alike in al individuals but now we know there is a large variation with the cranial base (SN) so this should be used with cuation
Ricketts analysis
Uses maxillary depth
-Draw the NA line (line that crosses the Nasion and A point)
-Draw Frankfort horizontal line (line that crosses the upper margin of the external auditory canals (porion) and the lowest point of the infraorbital rim (orbital)
-Measure the angle at the intersection of these lines

McNamara Analysis
Measures the distance from A to N perpendicular
1-Draw N perpendicular ( a line that crosses N and is perpendicular to FH
2-Measure the distance from A to N perpendicular
3-If A is in front of N perpendicular, the number is positive, if it is behind, the number is negative
What is the purpose of Steiner, Ricketts, and McNamara analyses
To determine the AP maxillary position
Measurements associated with AP maxillary retrognathism and prognathism
How can you assess the AP mandibular position?
-Steiner analysis using the SNB position
-Downs analysis using the facial angle
-McNamara analysis measures the distance from Pog to N perpendicular
Steiner analysis for AP mandibular position
-Uses the SNB angle
-As with the SNA angle, this measurement should be interpreted with caution because of possible distortion caused by an anterior cranial base that is either too steep or too flat.
Downs analysis for AP mandibular position
Uses the facial angle
1-Draw the facial plane as a line that crosses N and pogonion (Pog)
2-Measure the angle at the intersection of the facial plane and FH (Frankfort horizontal)
McNamara analysis measures teh distance from Pog to N perpendicular
1-Draw N perpendicular, the line that crosses N and is perpendicular to FH
2-Measure the distance from Pog to N perpendicular
3-If Pog is in front of N perpendicular, the number is positive, if it is behind, it is negative.
Steiner, Downs, and McNamara analysis for AP mandibular positoin
Steiner analysis assesses the discrepancy between the maxilla and mandible by
using the ANB angle, which measures the difference in AP position between one jaw and the other.
What is the A-B point in cephalometric analysis?
It represents the apical bases of the maxilla and mandible respectively.
What should the ANB angle be for Steiner analysis
Normal is 4 to 0 degrees
Skeletal class II >4 degrees
Skeletal class III <0 degrees
Wits appraisal, why is it used
Measures position of one jaw with respect to the other (apical base)
1-Draw the occlusal plane as a line that crosses the tips of the mandibular first molar and premolars
2-Project A on the occlusal plane: Draw a line that crosses A and is perpendicular to the occlusal plane; fine the point where the perpendicular line crosses the occlusal plane and call this point AO
3-Do the same fo B and call this point BO
4-Measure the distance from BO to AO: if BO is behind AO, give the distance a negative sign; if BO is in front, give the distance a positive sign.
McNamara analysis: purpose?
-Measures the maxillomandibular discrepancy, which is the size discrepancy between the maxilla and mandible.
1-Measure the mid facial length, the distance from condition (Co to A)
2-Measures the mandibular length, the distance from Co to Pog
3-Calculate the maxillomandibular discrepancy by subtracting the midfacial length from the mandibular length.

Growth cessation for orthogathics can be determined by what 4 techniques.
1-Serial physical exams
2-Serial cephalograms
3-A hand-wrist film
4-Looking at the maturation of cervical vertebrae on a lateral cephalometric radiograph.
Describe what you are looking for on cervical vertebrae for maturation
1-There are 6 stages of cervical vertebral maturation
2-Mandibular and craniofacial grow peak along with statue in stages 3 and 4
3-As cervical vertebrae mature, they develop a conacavity on the inferior border an assume a more rectangular shape.
What is the goal of presurgical orthodontics? (2 pts
To normalize and coordinate the dental arches.
A dental arch is normalized when…(7 pts)
1-The teeth are aligned (orderly arrangement in the arch); the teeth are not displaced, tipped, or rotated
2-The teeth are leveled; they are vertically even–there are no steps in the incisal edges or marginal ridges
3-The curve of Spee is flat or minimal
4-The lingual cusps of the mandibular posterior teeth are 1 mm below the buccal cusps
5-The palatal cusps of the maxillary posterior teeth are 1 mm below the buccal cusps
6-All interdental spaces are closed unless they are needed to manage a tooth-size discrepancy.
7-All dental compensations have been removed
The dental arches are coordinated when…(3 points)
1-The maxillary and mandibular dental arches have the same shape
2-The maxillary and mandibular dental arches have corresponding sizes
3-The tooth sizes of the maxillary and mandibular teeth correspond–they have the correct size ratio.
Class III malocclusion nature’s incisors compensations
1-The maxillary incisors are inclined labially; the mandibular incisors are inclined lingually
Class II malocclusion nature’s incisors compensations
The maxillary incisors can be tipped labially (division I) or lingually (division II)
-the mandibular incisors are tipped labially
What is an important consideration for a Class II deep bite malocclusion with a deep curve of spee
-It may be advantageous to do surgery before the curve of Spee is leveled; this prevents intrusion of the mandibular incisors by orthodontic mechanics and foreshortening of the lower face
To be surgery ready from an ortho perspective ( 3pts)
1-Archwires should be passive ( no more movement)
2-Rectangual orthodontic wires should be fully engaged in the slots
3-Surgical hooks (soldered or crimped) should be in place to facilitate MMF

3-Zygomatic buttresses
4-Pterygomaxillary fissure
What 3 things must be exposed intranasally for the Lefort
1-Nasal floor
2-Caudal septum
3-Lower aspect of lateral nasal wall
How far above the teeth should the osteotomy be for a Lefort I
At least 5 mm
What is the average distance from the piriform rim to the Descending palatine artery?

Use fingerpressure
To advance the maxilla once downfractured, what must you do?

Is it necessary to preserve the descending palatine artery?
No it is not mandatory, but advisable since it provides good blood supply to the maxilla and contributes to flap nourishment
