Cephalometry in orthodontics: 2D and 3D

Validity of 2D lateral cephalometry in orthodontics: a systematic review

Lateral cephalometric radiography is commonly used as a standard tool in orthodontic assessment and treatment planning. The aim of this study was to evaluate the available scientific literature and existing evidence for the validation of using lateral cephalometric imaging for orthodontic treatment planning. The secondary objective was to determine the accuracy and reliability of this technique...

A comparison between 2D and 3D cephalometry on CBCT scans of human skulls.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether measurements on conventional cephalometric radiographs are comparable with 3D measurements on 3D models of human skulls, derived from cone beam CT (CBCT) data. A CBCT scan and a conventional cephalometric radiograph were made of 40 dry skulls. Standard cephalometric software was used to identify landmarks on both the 2D images and the 3D models....

3D Scanning, Imaging, and Printing in Orthodontics

Cephalometry.

With the development of x-ray technology and its application to the craniofacial skeleton, numerous landmarks have been described and studied to better diagnose and plan treatment options for anomalies related to facial architecture. The following text serves to highlight the important landmarks and illustrate how they may be used to plan successful orthognathic reconstruction.

3d Imaging in Orthodontics: Techniques, Use and Landmark Identification

When counting all the different kind of tools available for orthodontists in their daily routine, imaging definitely has to be mentioned as it is of huge aid in evaluating and recording size and form of craniofacial structures. The development of imaging technologies led, in the last few years, to the introduction of new kinds of technologies such as the three-dimensional ones. 3D devices allow...
