EVALUATION OF THE INFLUENCE OF
THE NATURAL HEAD POSITION ON THE
INCLINATION OF VARIOUS
CRANIOFACIAL PLANES OF
PROSTHODONTIC IMPORTANCE TO
THE TRUE HORIZONTAL PLANE

the true horizontal plane in the natural head position and that Campers plane was not a
reliable landmark for occlusal plane reconstruction. They also stated that the Frankfort
horizontal plane did not represent the gravity horizontal plane (true horizontal plane).1
6.3 : Objectives of the study :
1. To evaluate the relationship between the Frankfort horizontal plane and the true
horizontal plane in the natural head position.
2. To evaluate the relationship between Campers plane and the true horizontal plane
in the natural head position.
3. To evaluate the relationship between the natural occlusal plane and the true
horizontal plane in the natural head position.

Ink dots will be marked on the inferior-most point on the lateral border of ala of nose,
the inferior-most point of the tragus of the ear, supratragal notch of the ear and on the softtissue orbitale by the same operator. A Fox plane indicator will be clenched between the
teeth which will represent the extra-oral view of the natural occlusal plane. A plumb line
will be hung from the ceiling to establish a true vertical line of reference and will be
included in the ensuing image. The subject will be seated on a chair placed 150 cm from
the camera in a relaxed state in the natural head position such that the left lateral aspect of
the head faces the camera. To obtain the natural head position, the subject will be asked to
look at the reflection of his / her pupils in a mirror positioned 150 cm away at eye level.
A digital camera (7.2 mega pixel / 3x optical zoom) mounted on a tripod stand will be
adjusted to the level of the Fox plane indicator. One left side image will be taken for
each subject in this position. The image obtained will be transferred to a computer. On the
image, the true horizontal plane will be represented by a line drawn perpendicular to the
vertical plumb line. The Frankfort horizontal plane will be seen as a line joining the
supratragal notch with the soft tissue orbitale and Campers plane as a line joining the
inferior point on the tragus with the lower-most point on the lateral border of the ala of the
nose. Angular measurements (in degrees) between the true horizontal plane and the three
craniofacial reference planes will be made using the computer program, Screen
Protractor, version 4.0. Data collected from the subjects will be analyzed using
descriptive statistics, 1-sample Student t test, and independent t test.
7.3: Does the study require any investigations or interventions to be conducted on
patients or other humans or animals? If so, please describe briefly
Yes
Direct measurement of angle between Frankfort horizontal plane, Campers plane,
occlusal plane and the true horizontal plane is to be obtained from normal dentulous
subjects.
7.4: Has ethical clearance been obtained from your institution in case of 7.3?
Yes. Attached.
