title: Xerocephalography.
abstract: Xeroradiography used with standard cephalometric analysis has proved clinically to be extremely beneficial in the orthodontic and orthognathic evaluation of patients. We have used the negative mode of xeroradiogrpahy routinely and have termed this application xerocephalography. We have described the methods and the equipment and have presented examples of the technique. Xerocephalography provides an improved method which may be universally used in orthodontic and orthognathic treatment.
