Özet
Objective: The aim of this investigation was to compare the reliability of two different software programs, Vista Dent and NemoCeph for digital cephalometric tracing when used for angular measurements on 2D digital cephalometric radiographs. Methods: A total of 300 cephalometric radiographs were chosen for this study. The Vista dent and Nemoceph computerized softwares programs were used to obtain cephalometric measurements from lateral cephalograms. The SNA and SNB angle values obtained by the two methods were evaluated through independent sample T-test and and the Mann-Whitney U Test was done to compare GoGn-SN angle between the two different computerized softwares programs. The Pearson correlation analysis was used to evaluate the consistency between the two measurement method. Results: It shows no statistical difference between the values of the SNA, SNB, and GoGn-SN angles performed by the Vista dent and Nemoceph software (p > 0.05). It was obtained strong correlations between all the variables. Conclusions: The measurements from the two computer-assisted cephalometric analysis are consistent. Clinicians can confidently use either of these programs.
