Photography versus lateral cephalogram: role in facial diagnosis.

Context: In a developing country like India, where expensive cephalometric apparatus is unavailable everywhere, photography assumes importance for diagnostic and treatment planning procedures as it is low cost and less technique sensitive.

Aims And Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare and correlate craniofacial measurements from cephalometric radiographs with analogous measurements from standardized facial photographs in the Gujarati population.

Materials And Methods: The study was carried out using standardized cephalometric radiographs and photographs of 60 Gujarati subjects (30 males, 30 females).
