The evolution of cephalometric diagnosis in Orthodontics

Maurício Barbosa Guerra da SILVA, Eduardo Franzotti SANT'ANNA

Introduction: Although the development of CT have represented a landmark in diagnostic imaging, its use in Dentistry turned out very discretely over the years. With the appearance of programs for analysis of three-dimensional images, specific for Orthodontics and Orthognathic surgery, a new reality is being built. Objective: The authors of this study aim to inform the orthodontic society of fundamentals about digital cephalometric radiographic image and computed tomography, discussing about: Field of view (FOV), radiation doses, demands for the use in Orthodontics and radiographic simulations.

Keywords: Cone-Beam Computed Tomography. Digital dental radiography. Computer-assisted diagnosis.
