Morphometrics "the mathematical or graphic description of shape and of shape change in time, including changes of both size and location as well as changes in location alone. The various morphometrics methods of growth prediction includes: biorthogonal analysis introduced by Bookstein, allometric centered models, and finite element method (FEM)."

Abstract

There are 2 distinct groups of analytical methods used in cephalometry: Landmark based techniques and Boundary outline methods. Landmark-based techniques are dependent on cephalometric landmarks. Boundary outline techniques survey only the perimeter of the structure. The use of algebraic measurements in traditional ceph analyses is known as conventional ceph analysis (CCA). It is a landmark based technique. Linear distance measurements between two landmarks. Angles, Areas & ratios are the parameters used by CCA. Morphometrics in representation of form, mapping of visual information into a numerical representation, viable for statistical analysis. The different types are: 1. Multivariate Morphometrics. 2. Co-ordinate Morphometrics. 3. Boundary Morphometrics. 4. Structure Morphometrics Biography: Prashant Sharma has completed his M.D.S at the age of 28 years from Bharati Vidyapeeth University, Pune and B.D.S from Manav Rachna Dental College.
