Study Notes
Extra-Oral Views
-
Lateral Views:
- Cephalometric: Used for orthodontic analysis, pre and post-orthognathic surgery evaluations. Evaluates facial growth, developmental abnormalities, trauma (fractures of the cranium, cranial base, frontal, sphenoidal, and maxillary sinuses), and sella turcica.
- Oblique: Examines the mandibular body and ramus.
-
Postero-Anterior Views:
- True PA: Detects mandibular fractures, localizes pathological lesions, shows frontal, ethmoidal, nasal fossa, and orbits. It also detects asymmetrical growth.
- Sinus View: Examines the sinuses.
- Reverse Towne's: Examines the condylar process, condylar neck, and ramus, looking for sub-condylar and condylar displacement, and the posterolateral wall of the maxillary sinus.
-
Antero-Posterior Views:
- True AP: Detects mandibular fractures, localizes pathological lesions, and assesses asymmetrical growth.
- Towne's: Evaluates the mandible, ramus, and body, checking for impacted or unerupted teeth, fractures, and pathological lesions like submandibular salivary gland stones.
- Submentovertex: Evaluates zygomatic arch fractures and the base and foramina of the skull. It also analyzes sphenoid air sinuses, and the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus; it identifies the position and orientation of condyles.
Lateral Oblique View
- Examines the mandibular angle, ramus, and body.
- Identifies unerupted or impacted teeth.
- Detects:
- Mandibular fractures
- Pathological lesions
- Submandibular salivary gland stones
Sinus Waters View
- Assesses all sinuses.
- Determines if the coronal process is fractured.
- Detects middle facial fractures (orbital floor, nasal septum).
Reverse Towne's View
- Assesses condylar process, condylar neck, and ramus.
- Detects sub-condylar and condylar displacement.
- Displays the posterolateral wall of the maxillary sinus.
Submentovertex View
- Detects zygomatic arch fractures.
- Demonstrates the base of the skull (its foramina).
- Shows the sphenoid air sinus and the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus.
- Positions and orientations of the condyles.
