Abstract
The introduction of computerized cephalometric analytic program in treatment planning, is not only expected to decrease the incidence of individual error but also provide standardized, fast and accurate evaluation with high rate of reproducibility. Aims & Objectives : The aims and objective of the study are: 1) To compare the accuracy and reliability of three different computerized cephalometric programs Nemoceph, Onyx and Facad with conventional hand tracing method. 2) To evaluate the inter examiner error. Materials & Methods : The study was conducted on pre-treatment lateral cephalograms of 20 patients. A total of 9 angular and 5 linear parameters were considered in the study. The manual tracing was considered as control group and was compared with three computerized cephalomatric analytic program. Results : No statistically significant difference was found between manual tracing and the computerized tracing programs. The measurements obtained with the cephalometric analysis programs used in the study were reliable. When comparing the accuracy and reliability angular and linear measurements with the three different computerized softwares NemoCeph gave the most accurate and reliable results, which was followed by Facad and Onyx.
