Summary
The OneCeph application offers reliable cephalometric analysis, closely matching manual methods and AI-supported WebCeph, while being faster than manual analysis.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Medical Imaging
- Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare
Background:
- Cephalometric analysis is crucial in orthodontics.
- Manual analysis is time-consuming and prone to variability.
- Digital tools like AI-supported and app-aided programs aim to improve efficiency and reliability.
Purpose of the Study:
- Compare reproducibility and reliability of WebCeph and OneCeph with manual cephalometric analysis.
- Evaluate analysis times for each method.
Main Methods:
- 110 pretreatment lateral cephalograms analyzed manually, via WebCeph, and OneCeph.
- Measurements included 11 skeletal, 6 dental, and 3 soft tissue parameters.
- 30 cases re-analyzed to assess reliability; analysis times recorded.
Main Results:
- WebCeph and OneCeph showed high compatibility with manual analysis, except for SN measurements.
- Moderate agreement for U1-NA distance and nasolabial angle; high agreement for other dental and soft tissue parameters.
- Analysis time was lowest for WebCeph and highest for manual methods.
Conclusions:
- WebCeph and OneCeph demonstrate good compatibility with manual cephalometric analysis.
- OneCeph shows higher correlation with manual methods, making it a strong alternative.
- Digital cephalometric analysis tools offer efficiency gains over traditional manual methods.
