title: [An x-ray method for determining the position of the tongue in the oral cavity].
abstract: The suggested modified technique for assessing the tongue position in the oral cavity is based on teleroentgenography in the lateral projection and estimation of cephalometric parameters. Theoretical rationale is given for the use of skeletal check points in the mandibular area and cervical portion of the spine and of the mandibular and spinal reference lines. Indications for the use of this method are defined and its advantages described.
