Frequency of Parallelism of Occlusal Plane to ALA-Tragus Line in Different age Groups: A Photographic Study

Pakistan Journal of Medical and Health Sciences, 2022
Background: For the complete dentures to look, sound, fit, and feel their best, it is crucial that the occlusal plane be positioned correctly. There are a number of different anatomical landmarks that have been proposed to arbitrate the position of the occlusal plane, with the Ala-tragus line being the most commonly adopted by the professions. Purpose:

Evaluation of the posterior reference point of ala tragus line in relation to occlusal plane and Frankfort horizontal plane through cephalometry in Sangareddy (Telangana) population

International journal of health sciences, 2022
The Occlusal plane (OP) inclination is determined by paralleling the ala- tragus line to the occlusal plane. The location of the ala-tragus line is unclear because the exact location of the posterior reference tragal point is controversial. Additionally, morphological variations are observed between different ethnic groups. Therefore, evaluation of the

Reliable Ala-Tragus Line for the Orientation of Occlusal Plane by Cephalometry

Journal of Nepalese Prosthodontic Society, 2018
Introduction: The aim of the study was to determine the most reliable ala-tragus line for the orientation of the occlusal plane in edentulous patients during complete denture fabrication by cephalometry. Materials and Methods: Lateral cephalometric radiographs of 37 dentate subjects were taken at maximum intercuspation.

The Ala-Tragus Line as a Guide for Orientation of the Occlusal Plane in Complete Dentures

The Journal of Contemporary Dental Practice, 2014
ABSTRACT Aim The use of the ala-tragus line (ATL) to orient the occlusal plane (OP) is controversial because there is a lack of agreement on the exact points of reference for this line. This study determined the relationship between the natural OP and ATL which was established by using the inferior border of the ala of the nose and (1) the superior ...
