This module focuses on understanding the cephalometric radiograph to:
* Assess the anterior cranial base
* Skeletal class of the mandible
* Position & size of the maxilla
* Dental Division
* Skeletal vertical division
* Air way obstruction
* Predominant direction of facial growth
* Lip angle & position
You will learn:
Bimler Elite® Cephalometric analysis is unique in respect of its ability to
define individual patients’ skeletal and soft tissue discrepancies. You will
learn how to trace your own Cephalometric x-ray, before then learning how to
diagnose each factor of the completed tracing. Treatment planning is then made
relatively simple.
* Skeletal anatomy of the oral facial complex.
* How the Bimler analysis can diagnose the skeletal malocclusions vs dental
malocclusions.
* How to diagnose maxilla’s that are back and or short, and mandibles that are
balanced, trapped Class II, or growing prognathic Class III.
* How to incorporate the Bimler analysis into appliance selection and design.
* How to evaluate before & after treatment Bimler tracings to determine where
growth has occurred.
