At the inaugural ceremony of the 59th Indian Orthodontic Conference in Visakhapatnam, 28th November.2025 our latest publication—"Handbook of Cephalometric Indian Norms"—was officially released by IOS President Prof. Puneet Batra. He graciously presented the first copy to the esteemed Chief Guest, Sri. Srinivas, MLA. A huge thank you to both for this honor!

Edited by Dr. K. Jyothindra Kumar and Dr. Elbe Peter, this edition builds on the foundational 1994 IOS publication by Dr. Jyothindra Kumar. We've integrated insights from over 250 scientific studies on ethnic Indian cephalometric norms—spanning 1994 to 2025—making it the most comprehensive update yet.

In India's vast ethnic mosaic and amid rapid urban migrations, this handbook bridges a critical gap: a single, reliable reference source for cephalometric norms tailored to our diverse populations. Packed with detailed study breakdowns (sample sizes, age groups, and more), it empowers clinicians to make precise, evidence-based decisions with ease.

We're thrilled to offer this as your go-to ready reckoner—elevating orthodontic practice across the subcontinent!
