Extra oral examination
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of examination is to record the information about the
frontal view, profile view and functional analysis of the facial structure,
which helps as a guideline during orthodontic therapy also to improve the
esthetic appearance of the face.

SHAPE OF THE HEAD

Classification & index values according to martin & Saller (1957)
The index is basedon the anthropometrix determination of the
maximum width of the head & the maximum length.
Dolichocephalic patient have long and narrow dental arch
Mesocephalic patient have paraboloid or average dental arch
Brachycephalic and Hyperbrachycephalic patient have broad dental arch

FACIAL FORM

The morphologic facial height is defined as the distance
between nasion & gnathion, the bizygomatic width as the distance
between the zygomatic points.
Morphologic facial height – Nasion – Gnathion (gn)
Bizygonmatic width – Zygoma – Zygoma
This type of facial morphology has a certain relationship to the
shape of the dental arch. Euryprosopic face type have broad, square
arches. leptorposopic face types have narrow apical base / arches.

characterized by lack of dorsal height and dorsal and alar wideness

Method of
evaluation


THE MENTO LABIAL SULCUS is defined simply as the fold
of soft tissue between the lower lip and the chin; it may vary greatly in
form and depth. It is affected by lower incisor position and by the
vertical height of the lower face.
Upright lower incisors tend to result in a shallow mentolabial
sulcus because of lack of lower lip projection.
A deep mentolabial sulcus is common in patient with short faces
& class II relationship because the lower lip is averted against the upper
incisors & lip redundancy in caused by the short lower face.
The patient with a long face has a tendency to have a flat
mentolabial sulcus because of the flattening of the mantalis muscle to
attain lip closure.
The deep mentolabial sulcus in characteristic of a hyperactive
mentalis muscle.

CENTRIC OCCLUSION : Condyles in the centre of the
articular discs and against the examinatia, as high up as anatomically
possible and contred transversely.
CENTRIC RELATION : A maxillo mandibular relationship in
which the condyles articulate with the thinnest a vascular position of
their respective disc with the condyle in antero superior position against
the slopes of articular eminences. This position is independent of tooth
contact.
This position is clinically as discernible when the mandible is
directed superiorly and anteriorly and restricted to a purely rotary
movement about the transverse horizontal axis.
IMPORTANCE
OF
CENTRIC
RELATION
IN
ORTHODONTICS
Diagnosis and treatment planning should be performed by an
evaluation of the occlusion with mandible in centric relation in order to
obtain the maxillary and mandibular skeletal and dental relation ship.
If this is overlooked, an in correct diagnosis and treatment plan
of the actual mal occlusion, along with its unfavourable consequences
may result.

Moreover during every appointment the patient has to be
monitored in centric relation if monitoring is not done in this manner
the treatment may finish with the mandible in centric occlusion, with
several prematuraties. This may later cause trauma from occlusion and
TMJ disorder.
FREE WAY SPACE
The space between the teeth when mandible is at rest position
it is usually 2-3mm referred as freeway space or inter occlusal
clearance.

CONCLUSION
The modern orthodontics includes a series of different types of
treatment requiring precise diagnosis techniques in order to produce a
positive out come. The careful and complete extra oral examination of
patient will guide in proper treatment plan.
