Abstract: The lateral cephalometric radiograph (LCR) is an important tool in orthodontics to aid diagnosis, inform treatment planning and to evaluate treatment outcomes. Following identification of frequently used cephalometric analyses in the literature, the aims of this thesis were: (i) to establish cephalometric norm values for 12-year-old southern Chinese children for the modified Bjork's analysis, Jacobson's Wits appraisal, Pancherz's Sagittal Occlusal (SO) and Vertical Occlusal (VO) analyses (Paper I and II); (ii) to identify gender and racial/ethnic variations in cephalometric norm values (Paper I and II); (iii) to extrapolate from the cephalometric norm values of 12-year-old southern Chinese to produce norm values for 10, 11, 13 and 14-year-old - for these common aforementioned cephalometric analyses and McNamara's analysis (Paper III); (iv) to investigate variations in the cephalometric characteristics of southern and northern Chinese children (Paper IV); and (v) to study the relationship between common cephalometric reference planes and the True Horizontal Plane (THP), and variations with respect to gender (Paper V). Extant LCRs from a community based sample of 200 male and 205 female 12-year-old southern Chinese in Hong Kong; 86 Caucasian children and 100 northern Chinese children, were traced and digitized twice employing the Computer Assisted Simulated for Orthognathic Surgery (CASSOS) program. Cephalometric norm values were created and extrapolated for 10 to 14-year-old. Gender and racial/ethnic variations were determined. In addition, the relationship between some common cephalometric reference planes (Sella Nasion Plane - SNP; Constructed Horizontal Plane - CHP; Frankfurt Horizontal Plane - FHP; Upper Occlusal Plane - UOP; Functional Occlusal Plane - FOP) and the THP was determined; and gender differences examined. Cephalometric norm values for modified Bjork's analysis, Jacobson's Wits appraisal and Pancherz's SO & VO analyses were produced for 12-year-old southern Chinese children. Variations in cephalometric norm values with respect to gender (PIn conclusion, norm values for frequently used cephalometric analyses were produced for 12-year-old southern Chinese, and extrapolated to produce norm values for 10 to 14-year-old. Age, gender and racial/ ethnic differences were apparent, supporting the need for age, gender and racial/ethnic specific norms. Common cephalometric reference planes differed to THP, and this warrants consideration in cephalometric analyses. DOI: 10.5353/th_b5317035 Subjects: Cephalometry

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cephalometry is an imaging technique used in orthodontics to measure the size and spatial relationships of the head, jaws and teeth, making use of landmarks or points on the skull. It is used for diagnosis, treatment planning and evaluating dentofacial changes during treatment. This book focuses on understanding the different cephalometric landmarks/points. Beginning with an introduction to the technique and classification of the landmarks, the following chapters explain each point in detail, by section of the head – cranial bones, facial bones and dentition, soft tissue, cervical bones and pharynx. The final sections discuss the different types of imaging used to trace cephalometric landmarks and their applications. Key points Presents technique of cephalometry to diagnose, and plan and evaluate treatment in orthodontics Describes every landmark by section of the head, including abbreviation, definition and applications Compares alternative radiological imaging techniques Includes more than 350 colour images and illustrations

Book excerpt: There's a silent epidemic in western civilization, and it is right under our noses. Our jaws are getting smaller and our teeth crooked and crowded, creating not only aesthetic challenges but also difficulties with breathing. Modern orthodontics has persuaded us that braces and oral devices can correct these problems. While teeth can certainly be straightened, what about the underlying causes of this rapid shift in oral evolution and the health risks posed by obstructed airways? Sandra Kahn and Paul R. Ehrlich, a pioneering orthodontist and a world-renowned evolutionist, respectively, present the biological, dietary, and cultural changes that have driven us toward this major health challenge. They propose simple adjustments that can alleviate this developing crisis, as well as a major alternative to orthodontics that promises more significant long-term relief. Jaws will change your life. Every parent should read this book.
Download or read book 3D Diagnosis and Treatment Planning in Orthodontics written by Jean-Marc Retrouvey and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-13 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This richly illustrated book is a wide-ranging guide to modern diagnostics and treatment planning in orthodontics, which are mandatory prior to the initiation of any type of comprehensive treatment. The importance of three-dimensional (3D) imaging techniques has been increasingly recognized owing to the shortcomings of conventional two-dimensional imaging in some patients, such as those requiring complex adult treatment and those with temporomandibular joint dysfunctions or sleep disturbances. In the first part of this book, readers will find clear description and illustration of the diagnostic role of the latest 3D imaging techniques, including cone beam computed tomography, intra-oral scanning, and magnetic resonance imaging. The second part explains in detail the application of 3D techniques in treatment planning for orthodontic and orthognathic surgery. Guidance is also provided on the use of image fusion software for the purposes of accurate diagnosis and precise design of the most appropriate biomechanical approach in patients with malocclusions.
