From a LATERAL (profile) extraoral view, which planes can be assessed?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Anteroposterior and vertical
Lateral view → anteroposterior + vertical; transverse needs the frontal view.
- A. Correct. A lateral/profile view shows AP (sagittal) and vertical relationships; the transverse plane needs a frontal view.
- B. Transverse (width/asymmetry) requires a frontal, not lateral, view.
