Outline2

Cephalometric history Orthodontic Case File System Cephalometric standardization Current research The future

Cephalometrics

Technique using lateral radiographs to make measurements of the head Planes, Angles and Linear measurements Used primarily in: DentistryOrthodontics Anthropology

3

History of Cephalometrics

Images from: Essentials of Facial Growth and Radiographic Cephalometry

4

Began with Craniometry in Anthropology Standard landmarks

Cephalostat and methods Developed in 1931 by:Broadbent (USA) Hofrath (Germany)

History of Cephalometrics5

Multiple standards developed over timeMichigan Atlas- Riolo et al. (1974)

London Atlas- Bhaita and Leighton (1993)

Downs Analysis- Downs (1948)

Ricketts Analysis- Rickets et al. (1982)


Reference samples for “Normal Ranges” Usually small, white samples Downs Analysis: 1948

20 White subjects

Riolo “Michigan Atlas”: 1974 83 White subjects

Are there other racial/ethnic norms?

Orthodontic Case File System

James K. Economides Donated in 2005 In practice since 1972

Unique collection New Mexicans Hispanic Native American

5,910 Unique patients 600 sibling pairsMulti-generational families

Available online and in person

8


Online records can contain: Lateral X-rays Cephalometric measuements Panoramic X-rays Intra-oral photographs Diagnoses

9


Available in Physical collection only: Dental casts Full facial and profile photographs Cephalometric tracings Treatment records

What wasn’t included: Race/ethnicity

10


Cephalometrics and Dr. Economides Relatively static Changed measurement group 3 times over 20+ years 88 used most commonly

Used multiple standards Recorded for large number of patients

Cephalometrics and the Case File System Wanted to be able to add additional cases with

cephalometrics

11

Cephalometric Standardization

Reviewed and consulted: 2 atlases 8 analyses

Compared and contrasted Dr. Economides’s measurements and landmarks with the existing atlases and analyses

Method for cross-referencing: Identify anatomical landmarks Verify variable name is consistent with existing point

naming convention Define cephalometric measurements used in our case

file systemManually examine the atlases and analyses and cross

reference

16


Discovered: Not all atlases and analyses use the same vocabulary Identical names

Different landmark

Different names Same landmark

17


Gonion- Defined differently

18

Gonion-GO the midpoint at the angle of the mandible Bhatia and Leighton 1993

Gonion-GO intersection of the line connecting the most distal aspect of the condyle to the distal border of the ramus, and the line at the base of the mandible

Ricketts et al. 1982

Gonial Intersection-GOI the intersection of the mandibular plane with a plane through Articulare, Posterior and along the portion of the mandibular ramus inferior to it

Riolo et al. 1974

Gonion-GO the midpoint of the angle of the mandible, found by bisecting the angle formed by the mandibular plane and a plane through Articulare, Posterior and along the portion of the mandibular ramus inferior to it

Riolo et al. 1974

Cephalometric Standardization19

Gonial Angle Defined by Economides as Ar-Go-Me The angle formed by Articulare, Gonion and Menton

Michigan Atlas: Menton-Gonial Intersection-Articulare, Ar-Goi-MeConstructed Gonion

London Atlas: Mandibular Angle, Art-Go-Me Bony Gonion

Jarabak-Bjork Analysis: Gonial Angle, Ar-Go-MeConstructed Gonion
