Sintesi	Orthodontic cephalometry is a standardized radiographic technique that produces a lateral or postero-anterior skull radiograph from a fixed source-to-film distance and patient position. Introduced by Benjamin Broadbent in 1931, cephalometric analysis enables systematic measurement of skeletal and dental relationships to assess malocclusion, plan treatment, and monitor growth and treatment changes. The technique remains fundamental to orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning.	Occlusal analysis is a systematic clinical and instrumental examination that evaluates the relationships between the maxillary and mandibular teeth, the temporomandibular joint, and the muscles of mastication. Comprehensive occlusal analysis informs diagnosis of malocclusion, temporomandibular disorders, and guides prosthodontic and orthodontic treatment planning. The analysis integrates static occlusal relationships (centric relation, centric occlusion) with dynamic occlusal patterns (jaw movements) to assess functional harmony and identify occlusal interferences.
