  • Title: [A new 3-dimensional cephalometry model. A new 3-dimensional parameter analysis: the axis of inertia. A new idea: maxillofacial equilibrium].
    Author: Treil J, Casteigt J, Madrid C, Borianne P.
    Journal: Orthod Fr; 1997; 68(1):171-81. PubMed ID: 9432600.
    Abstract:
    The authors propose a biomensurativ 3 D method based on the plotting of 8 anatomical landmarks situated on the trigeminal axis and the selection of teeth. In the analysis of this construction, we have employed mathematical tools unusual in developmental biology, the axis of inertia. The 3 D analysis allows to evidence the architectural, structural and functional balance of the dentomaxillofacial complex. This balance must be substituted to the normality concept to directly linked to cultural criterias and to the selection of mean parameters among culturally and ethnically homogeneous populations. Therapy does not have to lead to the normality of mean parameters but to the return or to the discovery of a real balance.
