The quantification of cephalometric radiographs is an integral part of orthodontic treatment planning. Numerous computer programs have been designed to digitize headfilms and to provide accurate graphic output and exact measurements. Yet these early systems were either huge, bulky and expensive or were limited in their practical use. The aim of this development was to combine modern computer and electronic equipment with advanced software engineering. The result is a universal cephalometric program written in the computer language "C" with presently seven standard and virtually limitless user definable analyses, growth forecasting, mouse-driven interactive VTO, arch length calculation, superimpositions, table of values …

The purpose of this study was to determine if a different incidence and severity of maxillary incisor apical root resorption occurs in cases treated with the 0.018 inch versus 0.022 inch slot in standard edgewise mechanics. A consecutively treated sample of 240 patients (98 boys and 142 girls), with a mean age of 13.4 years from the orthodontic clinic at Loma Linda University were studied. 120 of the cases were treated using 0.018" bracket slot with standard edgewise mechanics and 120 were treated using 0.022" non-torqued full banded standard edgewise mechanics. 60 of the cases in each of the above …
