Midpalatal suture, transverse slice and cervical vertebrae

Midpalatal suture

The «Suture» view sets a slice parallel to the ANS-PNS plane, found automatically, halfway through the thickness of the palate. The midline is taken from the symmetry of the skull. From the sagittal thumbnail you rotate the plane and a slider adjusts the height; if the plane is not right, «✎ Mark ANS and PNS» redoes it with two clicks. By default it uses 3 mm thickness in MIP, and you can change it and apply filters.

Transverse slice through the first molars

The «Transverse» view gives a high-resolution coronal slice through the first molars. You rotate and move it from the axial thumbnail and step forwards or backwards with the wheel. It has a 1 and 5 mm grid, and you can measure distances and angles on it.

Cervical vertebrae

The «Vertebrae» view shows the sagittal and coronal slices of the cervical vertebrae, found automatically behind the airway. Each slice has position and tilt sliders, and the line of the other slice is shown in yellow so you know where it passes.

All three views have indicative distance and angle measurements, capture and the 📌 button for the PDF report. They are views for looking and teaching: the assessment is always the professional’s.

How to do it

1. Open the CBCT

   At tresddicom.com/app. For the suture and the transverse slice a field including the maxilla is enough; for the vertebrae, it must reach the neck.

2. Choose the view

   «Suture», «Transverse» or «Vertebrae» in the view bar. The slice places itself.

3. Adjust the slice

   From the thumbnail (sagittal for the suture, axial for the transverse slice) or with the sliders; the wheel moves through the slices and dragging changes brightness and contrast.

4. Measure and save

   With «📏 Distance» and «📐 Angle», capture the view or add it to the report with 📌.
