Background:

Development of the 3D-cephalogram through the integration of 3D-CT and cephalometric analysis.
Addresses limitations of conventional cephalograms in visualizing complex craniofacial structures.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce and evaluate the utility of the 3D-cephalogram.
To demonstrate its capability in expressing cephalometric data on skeletal surfaces.
To highlight its application in identifying and understanding facial asymmetries.

Main Methods:

Utilized a combination of 3D-Computed Tomography (3D-CT) and traditional cephalometric analysis.
Developed a novel 3D-cephalogram technique.
Applied the technique to analyze skeletal structures, focusing on facial asymmetry.

Main Results:

The 3D-cephalogram accurately expresses cephalometric data on skeletal surfaces.
Revealed complex facial asymmetries, particularly on the mandible.
Demonstrated absence of magnification errors and overlap effects common in conventional cephalograms.

Conclusions:

The 3D-cephalogram is a valuable tool for physicians and patients.
Facilitates instruction on pathological anatomy and treatment procedures.
Offers improved visualization and analysis of craniofacial structures compared to conventional methods.
