Abstract

Dental landmarks common to casts and lateral radiographs are used to orient casts for analysis of three-dimensional dental measurements in relation to skeletal measurements derived from the radiograph. Orientation and measurement of casts is accomplished with a three-axis mounting and measuring device based on the principles of the larger craniostat.
