Comparison of Digital Analysis and Artificial Intelligence for Cephalometric Tracing
This study aims to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of artificial intelligence (AI)-based cephalometric analysis compared with digital manual tracing. A total of 100 standardized lateral cephalometric radiographs will be analyzed using Delta-Dent software with manual landmark identification and three fully automated AI-based systems (WebCeph, QuantX, and Smartee). Sagittal, vertical, dental, and soft tissue cephalometric parameters will be compared among the different methods. Statistical analysis will assess inter-method agreement and the clinical relevance of any observed discrepancies. The study seeks to determine whether AI-based systems provide measurements comparable to conventional digital tracing and whether they can be considered reliable adjunctive tools in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning.
