Abstract:
Introduction: The evaluation of the facial profile is an important factor in any current orthodontic diagnosis and accurate treatment planning is dependent on it.
Aims and Objectives: The aim and objective of the study is to find out differences in angular measurements between photographic and cephalometric measurements whether photographic measurements can be used in place of cephalometric measurements.
Material & Methods: The study comprised 100 volunteers (50 males and 50 females) ranging in age from 12 to 16 years. The respondents were chosen at random throughout the sampling process. Cephalometric and photographic profile analysis was used, with angular measurements based on standard cephalometric and photographic records taken in natural head position in lateral view. Lateral cephalogram was used for cephalometric analysis and photograph taken in lateral view was used for evaluation. The study included four factors in total.
Results: There was no significant difference in facial angular measurements between the cephalometric and photographic analysis.
Conclusion: This study concluded that photographic measurements can be used in place of lateral cephalogram as there are negligible differences between them
