Reliability of manual vs. digital plotting

By Doménica Nicole Diab Borja

Orthodontic diagnosis is based on cephalometric analysis. Initially, this analysis was performed manually, until digital programmes for cephalometric analysis were introduced. Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the manually plotted results with those plotted digitally and to test the reliability of the digital system. Materials and methods: The study was carried out using a universe of 70 cephalometric tracings belonging to patients from the UCSG orthodontic clinic in semester A-2015. Two types of diagnosis were analysed: skeletal class by means of Wits, Steiner and Ricketts' facial convexity analysis; and facial growth by means of Ricketts' compressed analysis.
