videoimaging
In live video, capture the patient is seated with the natural rest
position and a camcorder used to view the profile on the computer
moniter when the operator is satisfied that the head and lip positioned
properly.
Uses of Videoimaging:-
The software superimposes the patients lateral photograph onto the
lateral cephalogram to a proportionate scale.
When the computerized predictions are made, the patient can now
have an idea of his / her probable facial appearance after the planned
treatment.
Videocephalometry:
Uses :-
Patient counselling.
3 dimensional imaging:-

3D IMAGING
COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY
2. Computer system:
3. A display console :
Computed tomography (CT) machines acquire image data by using
either a single narrow x-ray beam or a thin, broad, fan-shaped x-ray
beam.
Clinical Applications:-
High radiation exposure and high cost has prevented its use in
Orthodontics.
TMJ examination
TMJ Examination :
CT for the evaluation of the TMJ was introduced by Wegener and
colleagues for demonstrating bone abnormalities within the TMJ.
USES:-
Equipment:
When images are displayed; intense signals show as white and weak
ones as black.
Cortical bone and teeth with low presence of hydrogen are poorly
imaged and appear black.
Radiation Exposure:-
Airway analysis:-
Limitations:-
Highly expensive.
CBCT does not the ability to map out exactly the muscle structures
and their attachments.
Long capture time for a full view of subject (scan time 30-40 sec),
during which involuntary muscle movements will lead to inaccuracies
to soft tissue capture.
CBCT soft tissue images do not capture the true colour texture of the
skin.
• Stereolithography:-
• Stereophotogrammetry :-
• Laser scanning :-
Stereolithography
Stereolithography gives you a fast, easy way to turn CAD drawings into real
objects
An ultraviolet laser
A computer that drives the laser and the platform
Shortcomings:
Stereo-photogrammetry
occlusograms
From these photographs tracings were made on the acetate paper of the
maxillary and mandibular teeth, showing
4. central grooves
5. cusp tips.
6. palatal rugae,
Ortho - cad
The typical cost of service is $35 per model and it is present limited to
USA and JAPAN.
FEATURES:
Advantages:-
They can be recalled at the touch of a button at each patient visit and
displayed on a chair side moniter.
Limitations:-
CONCLUSION
Cranniofacial imaging is now into the "digital era" in which new digital
imaging technologies are being used to resolve previous limitations of
the patient record.
