| Abstract | Background Cephalometric analysis has been used as one of the main tools for orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. The analysis can be performed manually on acetate tracing sheets, digitally by manual selection of landmarks or by recently introduced Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven tools or softwares that automatically detect landmarks and analyze them. The use of AI-driven tools is expected to avoid errors and make it less time consuming with effective evaluation and high reproducibility. Objective To conduct intra- and inter-group comparisons of the accuracy and reliability of cephalometric tracing and evaluation done manually and with AI-driven tools that is WebCeph and CephX softwares. Methods Digital and manual tracing of lateral cephalometric radiographs of 54 patients was done. 18 cephalometric parameters were assessed on each radiograph by 3 methods, manual method and by using semi (WebCeph) and fully automatic softwares (Ceph X). Each parameter was assessed by two investigators using these three methods. SPSS was then used to assess the differences in values of cephalometric variables between investigators, between softwares, between human investigator means and software means. ICC and paired T test were used for intra-group comparisons while ANOVA and post-hoc were used for inter-group comparisons. Results Twelve out of eighteen variables had high intra-group correlation and significant ICC p-values, 5 variables had relatively lower values and only one variable (SNO) had significantly low ICC value. Fifteen out of eighteen variables had minimal detection error using fully-automatic method of cephalometric analysis. Only three variables had lowest detection error using semi-automatic method of cephalometric analysis. Inter-group comparison revealed significant difference between three methods for eight variables; Witts, NLA, SNGoGn, Y-Axis, Jaraback, SNO, MMA and McNamara to Point A. Conclusion There is a lack of significant difference among manual, semiautomatic and fully automatic methods of cephalometric tracing and analysis in terms of the variables measured by these methods. The mean detection errors were the highest for manual analysis and lowest for fully automatic method. Hence the fully automatic AI software has the most reproducible and accurate results. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
