Thesis (M.Sc.D.)--Boston University School of Graduate Dentistry. Dept. of Orthodontics. 1970. / The present investigation was undertaken to determine an extra-skeletal reference plane and its reliability.
The results of this study revealed that it seems
possible for an orthodontist to establish an extra-skeletal
reference plane, if a specially designed analyzer is used.
It has been shown that by using this devise in his determination
of a base landmark, an orthodontist can have a high degree
of reliability within himself. It also appears likely
that the reference plane obtained in this manner by one
orthodontist is reproducible, to a high degree of reliability
by other orthodontists. A remarkably high reproducibility, as obtained if a group determination of a reference base was done. To the orthodontist, it means that there may
be a way of accurately producing a reliable reference
plane for static cephalocentric analysis. This could be
used to standardize communication among orthodontists.[TRUNCATED]
