Abstract

To investigate the reliability and reproducibility of the computerized cephalometric analysis system, se compared the differences of the 10 linear and 13 angular measurements by manual works and the use of computerized cephalometric analysis system. We obtained as follows : 1. There was not significant difference between maean values of 22 manual and computerized measurements. 2. There was not significant difference between mean differences of manual and computerized cephalometric analysis data taken by same examiner except facial depth, facial length and posterior facial height. 3. There was not significant difference between mean differences of two trials of the computerized cephalometric analysis data by same examiner in all measurements. 4. There was not significant difference between mean differences of the computerized cephalometric analysis data by two examiners except FMIA and IMPA. According to this result, we guess the use of computerized cephalometric analysis system is useful on diagnosis and treatment planning of othodontic patients.
