Cover Story: The study of lateral cephalograms is absolutely common in daily practice among orthodontists and oromaxillofacial surgeons, and it is fundamental for correct diagnoses as well as for drafting correct treatment plans. However, a cephalometric study traced on 2D images has intrinsic limitations due to magnification, geometric distortion, and, above all, superimpositions of anatomical structures. Three-dimensional diagnostic imaging could overcome these limitations of 2D imaging even with a low dose of radiation absorption for the patient. The purpose of this study is to present a new 3D Enlow’s horizontal counterpart analysis that uses anatomical points traced on CBCT images in order to identify the different horizontal dimensions of Enlow’s 2D counterpart analysis. View this paper
