| Abstract | ||
| Computerised eephalometric softwares are widely spreading nowadays with several options regarding orthodontists demands. This study aims to compare the accuracy of the computerised procedure from digitising the radiograph to the final cephalometric analysis. Twenty—six lateral cephalograms were analysed, thirteen landmarks were permanently marked and traced and eighteen variables; nine angles and nine lines in both horizontal (X) and vertical (Y) directions were measured manually first, then scanned and the same landmarks were digitised on—screen using Viewbox 3.0.l cephalometric computer sottware. The results show that computerised angular measurements were more comparable to the manual method than with linear measurements, with most of the differences being of low clinical importance | ||
