Handbook of Cephalmetric Superimposition - Tapa dura

Traditional procedures for cephalometric superimposition that are based on the use of periosteally located landmarks or their dependent substitutes are unstable over time. This renders interpretation of pretreatment- to-posttreatment changes unreliable. The structural method of superimposition is the only evidencebased method of superimposition, and it provides individualized, far-reaching insight into growth and treatment changes. The authors provide a critical, in-depth review of the history of cephalometric superimposition and the background and development of the structural method; demonstrate how to apply the structural method; and provide help and instruction for correct interpretation of the resulting superimpositions. This book will help readers to produce superimpositions with maximal accuracy, based on the best available scientific biologic evidence.
