  2. Minimum deviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_deviation

    In a prism, the angle of deviation (δ) decreases with increase in the angle of incidence (i) up to a particular angle.This angle of incidence where the angle of deviation in a prism is minimum is called the minimum deviation position of the prism and that very deviation angle is known as the minimum angle of deviation (denoted by δ min, D λ, or D m).

    Angle's classification only considers anteroposterior deviations in the sagittal plane while malocclusion is a three dimensional problem (sagittal, transverse and vertical) rather than two dimensional as described in Angle's classification. Angle's classification also disregards the relationship of the teeth to the face. [5]

  4. Maddox rod - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maddox_rod

    The degree of deviation and the direction (incyclo or excyclo) can be determined by the angle of rotation that causes the line images to appear horizontal and parallel. The amount of cyclodeviation is measured in degrees, utilised from the scale on the trial frame

  5. Dispersive prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersive_prism

    A ray trace through a prism with apex angle α. Regions 0, 1, and 2 have indices of refraction, , and , and primed angles ′ indicate the ray's angle after refraction.. Ray angle deviation and dispersion through a prism can be determined by tracing a sample ray through the element and using Snell's law at each interface.

  8. Prism cover test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_Cover_Test

    The prism cover test (PCT) is an objective measurement and the gold standard in measuring strabismus, i.e. ocular misalignment, or a deviation of the eye. [1] It is used by ophthalmologists and orthoptists in order to measure the vertical and horizontal deviation and includes both manifest and latent components. [1]

  9. Angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle

    An angle larger than a right angle and smaller than a straight angle (between 90° and 180°) is called an obtuse angle [11] ("obtuse" meaning "blunt"). An angle equal to ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ turn (180° or π radians) is called a straight angle. [10] An angle larger than a straight angle but less than 1 turn (between 180° and 360°) is called a ...
