COMPARISON BETWEEN LINEAR CEPHALOMETRIC MEASUREMENTS TRACING ON MANUAL AND DIGITIZED LATERAL CEPHALOGRAM

ABSTRACT Digital Cephalometry needs to be as accurate as conventional cephalometry in order to be taken as a standard of care in contemporary orthodontics. Objective of this study was to compare the accuracy of linear cephalometric measurements on digitized cephalograms with manual tracing as the go...

Description
Summary:ABSTRACT Digital Cephalometry needs to be as accurate as conventional cephalometry in order to be taken as a standard of care in contemporary orthodontics. Objective of this study was to compare the accuracy of linear cephalometric measurements on digitized cephalograms with manual tracing as the gold standard. Cephalometric analysis of linear measurements was performed on 110 cephalometric radiographs manually and digitally with a computer software. Paired sample t tests were used for statistical significance (p
