| Abstract | ||||
| Aim: To assess the validity and reliability of cephalometric measurements performed by CephNinja, OneCeph and EasyCeph applications with lateral cephalometric radiographs based on measurement obtained from veiwbox computer software. Subjects & methods: 50 patients’ pre-treatment lateral cephalograms using the same digital cephalometer were collected. Patients were traced twice using three mobile apps (i.e., CephNinja and OneCeph, Easyceph), with Viewbox used as the reference standard computer software program. 11 angular and 2 linear measurements originating from the Downs analysis, Ricketts analysis and Wits appraisal. Results: There were no statistically significant differences were found between the mobile application and computer software which states a strong validity and agreement between the two readings. Conclusion: Smartphone cephalometric analysis applications perform satisfactorily in terms of validity and reliability. OneCeph is highly valid when compared with Viewbox as a control group than other two mobile apps, while both mobile apps Oneceph and CephNinja are more reliable than Easyceph. | ||||
