19. Analysis Of Diagnostic Records - Cephalometric Analysis
Indications for Periapical radiographs
- Assess periapical region
- Evaluation of pulp treatment or
endodontic treatment - Detection of developmental anomalies
- Identify any pathology-the degree of
resorption of roots, the presence of
ankylosis - Status of periodontal ligament
- Pulp calcification & root resorption
- Diagnosis of traumatic injuries
- inclination of tooth roots
19. Analysis Of Diagnostic Records - Cephalometric Analysis
Indications for Occlusal radiography
- Evaluate mid –palatal suture ossification
and cortical plate expansion - Evaluate fractures
- Evaluate maxillary sinus or submandibular
salivary gland calculi - Determine position of impacted maxillary
canine and supernumerary teeth in
vestibulo-lingual direction
19. Analysis Of Diagnostic Records - Cephalometric Analysis
Indications for OPG
- Mandatory for orthodontics in all dentitions
- Determination of dental age
- Medial movement of upper first Molars
- Assess development of third molars
- Presence of germs of permanent teeth
- Stage of germ development
- Position relative to second molars
- Assess maxillary permanent canine impaction
- Assess space in lower arch
19. Analysis Of Diagnostic Records - Cephalometric Analysis
Prediction method for evaluation of mandibular
third molar eruption, according to Haavikko
- Angle less than 10 degrees – normal eruption
- Angle between 10 and 20 degrees – 50% retention
- Angle between 20-30 degrees – 75% probability of third molar impaction
19. Analysis Of Diagnostic Records - Cephalometric Analysis
Prognosis for medial inclination of the axis of
first upper molar
- Tangent line drawn to most convex part of medial surface of crown and root of M1=>
- Inner angle between tangent and Orbital plane measured
- IF Angle 100° - normal position of M1
- IF Angle < 100° - medial inclination
- IF Angle > 100° - distal inclination
19. Analysis Of Diagnostic Records - Cephalometric Analysis
Methodology for detection of upper canine retention
- NL – vertical line ( the most prominent point of lateral margin of anterior nasal aperture
- ML – midsagital line
- Degree 1 - crown of 3 does not intercept NL
- Degree 2 - ½ crown of 3 intercepts NL
- Degree 3 - whole crown of 3 intercepts NL
Degree 4 - crown and root of 3 intercept NL
19. Analysis Of Diagnostic Records - Cephalometric Analysis
What cephalometric analysis is, and who commonly uses it as a tool
- Examination of dental and skeletal relationships in human skull=>
- Treatment planning for dentists, orthodontists, and oral maxillofacial surgeons
19. Analysis Of Diagnostic Records - Cephalometric Analysis
Specific information cephalometric analysis provides
- Discrepancies in relationships between maxilla and mandible=>
- Includes their displacement concerning cranial base and tooth malpositions
- Aids in treatment planning=>
- Facilitates growth prediction of facial skeleton
- Enables evaluation of treatment progress
19. Analysis Of Diagnostic Records - Cephalometric Analysis
Goals of cephalometry, and facial components it evaluates
- Evaluating relationships( horizontally and vertically) of five major components of face
- Cranium and cranial base
- Skeletal maxilla
- Skeletal mandible
- Maxillary dentition and alveolar process
- Mandibular dentition and alveolar process
19. Analysis Of Diagnostic Records - Cephalometric Analysis
Two basic approaches to cephalometric analysis
- Metric approach and graphic approach
- The metric approach=>use of selected linear and angular measures
- Presented in tabular form
- Graphic approach=>overlaying individual’s tracing on reference template for visual inspection of degree variations
19. Analysis Of Diagnostic Records - Cephalometric Analysis
Equipment and materials required for accurately tracing a head film in cephalometric analysis
- x-ray illuminator
- Tracing paper
- Special diagnostic ruler-protractor
- Standard ruler and protractor
- Pencil
19. Analysis Of Diagnostic Records - Cephalometric Analysis
General considerations for cephalometric tracing
- Outlining soft tissue profile
- Tracing inferior border of mandibular body w/ anterior border of symphysis
- Maxilla
- External auditory meatus
- Sella turcica
19. Analysis Of Diagnostic Records - Cephalometric Analysis
How the external auditory meatus is traced in cephalometry
- Located at level of condylar process
- Faint, semilunar-shaped shadow
19. Analysis Of Diagnostic Records - Cephalometric Analysis
Recommendation given regarding tracing the maxillary and mandibular incisors
- Trace more anteriorly positioned incisor if outlines of incisors do not coincide
- Tracing pulp canal advised => ascertain inclination of tooth
