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

This richly illustrated colour atlas and manual provides orthodontists, maxillofacial and plastic craniofacial surgeons, genetic dysmorphologists and medical anthropologists with exhaustive information on all aspects of three-dimensional cephalometric analysis of hard and soft tissues. The book offers practical, straightforward "step-by-step" guidance for both clinicians and researchers interested in 3-D assessment of the head and face.

Orthodontics is a fast developing science as well as the field of medicine in general. The attempt of this book is to propose new possibilities and new ways of thinking about Orthodontics beside the ones presented in established and outstanding publications available elsewhere. Some of the presented chapters transmit basic information, other clinical experiences and further offer even a window to the future. In the hands of the reader this book could provide an useful tool for the exploration of the application of information, knowledge and belief to some orthodontic topics and questions.

Written in question-answer format this book provides a quick thorough review of the essentials of orthodontics. The presentation is systematic throughout the book and the basic concepts, procedures and practices have been succinctly explained through highlighted points, revision boxes, self-explanatory flowcharts, line-illustrations and tables. The book has been written keeping in mind the dual purpose of providing mode of answering any type of questions in university exams and simultaneously preparing the students to face competitive exams.
