Cephalometric Analysis Exam Review QUESTIONS
AND ALL CORRECT ANSWERS
100% SOLVED AND GUARANTEED SUCCESS!!
cephalometrics - answer--uses a set of measurements from a lateral
cephalometric radiograph to evaluate a patient's face, teeth and skeleton.
Information is available in two planes of space: ANTEROPOSTERIOR and VERTICAL.
The patient's individual measurement are compared to standard measures
available according to gender, age and race (when available).
Cephalometric findings are used in coordination with other clinical findings and
measurements. They are used to "refine and improve clinical judgment and not to
displace it". A measurement that varies from the standard is not necessarily a
problem. Cephalometric findings provide quantitative information about
craniofacial relationships that may explain why specific clinical problems exists. A
key principle in orthodontic diagnosis is understanding that dental malocclusions
that look similar at the clinical level may be have quite different etiologies at the
morphologic level. Cephalometric analysis is a powerful tool in gaining knowledge
and understanding of the soft tissue, skeletal and dental relationships that are
unique for each patient. - answer--How are cephalometrics used in diagnosis?
