Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
Aim: One of the most commonly used diagnostic tools in Orthodontics is a lateral cephlogram. The study was undertaken to compare the linear measurements of the pharyngeal spaces recorded on a lateral cephlogram manually and digitally on a 2 D lateral cephalogram. Material & methods: After going through 361 records, a total of 48 subjects (ages 14–33 years) were included, out of which 20 were male subjects and 28 were female subjects. The measurements were made on the digital lateral ceohalogram and recorded. The said landmarks were identified on the Digital Lateral cephalogram and the values were calculated and the lateral cephalograms were manually traced upon an A4 size acetate paper .Total of 4 parameters were taken in the study. SPSS (Version 16.0) and Microsoft Excel software were used to carry out the statistical analysis of data. Data was analyzed with the help of descriptive statistics viz., mean and standard deviation and presented by bar diagrams. Student’s independent t-test was employed to test the differences between males and females. A P-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: None of the parameters used for comparison in conventional and digital cephalometric study showed statistically significant difference. Conclusion: According to this study, is reasonable to conclude that the manual and digital tracings of the airway show the no statistically significant difference.
