Abstract

The objective was to determine the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) between tracing traditional Cephalometric film method and tracing method on computor with V-Ceph software. Methodology of clinical trial studied on 123 Cephalometric films. The results showed that 17 of 21 indexes had ICC greater than 0.75, except for A-NPerp index, facial axis angle index, GoGn-SN index, and nasolabial angle index. Conclusion: Tracing traditional Cephalometric film method and film tracing with V-Ceph software have high correlation, most of the measured indexes have ICC >0.75.
