Cephalometrics

Cephalometric radiography is a standardized method of production of skull radiographs which are useful in making measurements of the cranium and the orofacial complex. Cephalometry had been and still is to a very large extent the only available method that permits the investigation of the spatial relationships between cranial structures and between dental and surface structures. There are tremendous oppurtunities that cephalometrics offers in the field of Orthodontics to analyze problems to determine solutions for them to evaluate the results of treatment to improve orthodontic knowledge and thus to enhance our usefulness to humanity.
