Scenarios

Ready-made clinical questions on the adult lateral cephalogram: skeletal class, vertical pattern, extraction, camouflage vs surgery. Each scenario combines measurements from several methods and adds interpretation in the CephCalc report.

A scenario is not a substitute for a method

A method (Steiner, McNamara, and others) defines landmarks and formulas. A clinical scenario answers a specific question and pulls the needed measurements from different analyses into one review.

Clinical question

Each preset targets a decision: class, vertical type, extraction, Class III, discrepancy localization.

Several methods

The scenario references classic analyses and calculates only the needed measurements — without noise in the report.

Interpretation in PDF

After landmarking you get the scenario conclusions and recommendations in the results and in the patient PDF.

Adult patients

The current set is built for adult lateral cephalograms: growth is no longer modifying the pattern; focus is diagnosis and planning.

Scenarios for adults

CephCalc scenarios combine measurements from different methods around a specific clinical question: skeletal class, vertical pattern, extraction, Class III, and more. Pick a scenario and try the analysis on your lateral cephalogram — free start for orthodontists.

Each scenario complements, but does not replace, clinical examination, study models, and photos. Cephalometry is part of diagnosis, not the sole criterion for treatment planning. Methods.
