ORTH 5100 - Introduction to Cephalometrics

1 credit hour

In a number of dental specialties (most prominently orthodontics and oral and maxillofacial surgery), the cephalometric technique provides a standard means of description, treatment planning, evaluation, and communication. Technical ability, rather than choice of measurements, is often the limiting factor in cephalometric analysis. This course will emphasize “hands-on” experience with landmark localization, tracing, and measurement.
