Q

What is the selection criteria for Cephalometric Radiographs

A
  • Evaluate growth and development of the cranium and face
  • Evaluate the relationship betweeen orofacial and dental structures
  • Monitor orthodontic/orthognathic treatment progression
  • Evaluate other craniofacial abnormalities and trauma

Q

Imaging Technique

A
  • Cephalostat: ear rods & nasion indicator help stabilize the patient
  • Distances are maintained constant for comparison of sequential radiographs
  • Structures furtheresst from receptor=most magnification
  • Structures closest to receptor=least magnification
  • Less discrepancy of (bilateral) midline structures (5-6% magnification)
