Dear members of this forum:

For a translation of an article i need to understand what a "Cephalometric Protractor" is an how it is used.
As far as i understand, it is used for analyzing angles/distances on images.
Is there any other was it is used in clinical routine (e.g. within the mouth of patients)?
This question might seem strange but I'm not a dentist.

Thank you very much for your help!

Used for measuring the angles between certain points of a lateral cephalogram when developing an orthodontic analysis. It's used on a tracing of the radiograph. It is not used inside the mouth.
