Abstract
Cephalometry is used to quantify and qualify the type of malocclusion. The digital technology has overcome the limitations of manual method. A high cost of the commercially available software is unaffordable for its wide spread use. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the values of Steiner’s cephalometric analysis using Nemoceph and Foxit PDF reader. No significant difference between the two methods will result in that Foxit PDF reader can be used as an cost effective alternative. Methods: This study was conducted on 100 digital lateral cephalogram taken from the same machine. The samples were collected by non-probability convenience sampling procedures. These images were analyzed for Steiner’s Cephalometric Analysis using the two software. Results: The skeletal and dental values showed no statistical significant difference in the majority, except for the L1-NA (Linear) and L1-NB (Linear). Conclusion: Results showed that there is a high agreement between the two methods.
