Accuracy of Beta Angle in Assessment of Sagittal Skeletal Discrepancy in Chennai Population – A Cephalometric Study
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Diagnosis and treatment planning in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopaedics have heavily relied on technology. Imaging is one of the most ubiquitous tools used by an orthodontist to measure and record the size and form of the craniofacial structures. Though introduced by Broadbent, cephalometrics might best be ascribed to J.A.W. Van Loon of Holland who described a technique, which related the teeth to the rest of the face, which showed the true picture of the patient's malocclusion. Both angular and linear measurements have been incorporated into the various cephalometric analyses to measure the anteroposterior discrepancies and come to a treatment plan.
