Assessment of Reliability and Accuracy of Various Cephalometric Reference Planes Using Comparative Cephalometric Analysis
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 11
Abstract
Objective: Various cephalometric reference planes have inherent shortcomings, due to which it becomes imperative to check the reliability of these planes with respect to true horizontal plane,which is the main aim of this study. Materials and methods: Cephalometric radiographs of 90 subjects were selected and subjected to cephalometric analysis.Descriptive statistics including means and standard deviations were used to assess the variability of various planes. Results: Frankfurt Horizontal plane followed by Krogman-Walker line shows least standard deviation with respect to true horizontal.In a separate comparison between Frankfurt Horizontal plane and Sella Nasion plane ,Frankfurt Horizontal plane showed less variability with respect to true horizontal. Conclusion: Frankfurt Horizontal plane and Krogman-Walker line can be used reliabily as a cephalometric reference plane.
