Xeroradiography used with standard cephalometric analysis has proved clinically to be extremely beneficial in the orthodontic and orthognathic evaluation of patients. We have used the negative mode of xeroradiogrpahy routinely and have termed this application xerocephalography. We have described the methods and the equipment and have presented examples of the technique. Xerocephalography provides an improved method which may be universally used in orthodontic and orthognathic treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
