Cephalometry refers to the radiographic technique of measuring skeletal and dental relationships using standardized skull and facial bone x-rays. The introduction of cephalometry in 1931 by Holly Broadbent and H Hofrath ushered in a new era in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. Applications of cephalometry include determining facial types, evaluating treatment progress and results, growth prediction and serving as an invaluable tool in research. This book covers the historical background of cephalometry, several important cephalometric analyses, 3D cephalometry and recent advances.
