Summary
Foxit PDF Reader offers a cost-effective alternative for Steiner
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Orthodontics
- Medical Imaging Analysis
Background:
- Cephalometric analysis is crucial in orthodontics.
- Traditional software can be expensive and require subscriptions.
- Evaluating cost-effective alternatives is important for accessibility.
Purpose of the Study:
- To compare Steiner's cephalometric analysis values obtained using Nemoceph and Foxit PDF Reader.
- To determine if Foxit PDF Reader is a viable, cost-effective alternative for cephalometric analysis.
Main Methods:
- 100 digital lateral cephalograms were analyzed.
- Steiner's analysis was performed using two software packages: Nemoceph and Foxit PDF Reader.
- Nonprobability convenience sampling was used for sample selection.
Main Results:
- High agreement was found between the two methods for most skeletal and dental measurements.
- Statistically significant differences were noted only for L1-NA (linear) and L1-NB (linear).
Conclusions:
- Foxit PDF Reader demonstrates high agreement with Nemoceph for Steiner's cephalometric analysis.
- Foxit PDF Reader provides a simple, cost-effective, and accessible method for onscreen cephalometric analysis.
- This technique does not require internet connectivity or software subscriptions.
