6) Check the symmetry of the patient’s head using the sagittal vertical trace
as a guide.
7) Check the correct positioning of the Frankfurt plane by overlapping the
upper horizontal light trace. To adjust the inclination of the patient’s head,
use the column upward and downward movement keys. Make sure that
the patient’s back is straight and relaxed.
8) Once the correct orientation has been found, lock the craniostat as
explained in paragraph 5.4.2:
A- Push the front support forward until it rests on the patient’s forehead.
The forehead’s pressure on the support will automatically stabilise it.
B- Close the arms until they touch the patient’s cranium.
C- Rotate the top levers downward until they are laterally locked.
9) Ask the patient to smile in order to show the upper dentition. Normally the vertical light trace falls between the
canine cusp and the distal part of the upper premolar*.
In case of particular dysmorphias of the patient, move the light trace forward or backward, toward the canine,
using the console keys , in order to optimise the dentition focusing.
* the canine reference is useful to optimise the patient’s alignment, but it is not strictly necessary.
10) Before pressing the X-ray emission button, ask the patient to close his/her eyes and to swallow.
