Article Synopsis
- The study examined how accurately orthodontists can identify specific bony landmarks on lateral cephalometric radiographs by comparing visually determined landmarks to geometrically constructed ones.
- Three groups of orthodontists with varying levels of experience evaluated 18 landmarks across multiple radiographs, and their consistency in identifying these landmarks was tested over four sessions.
- Results showed that the variability in landmark identification was not significantly affected by the observer's experience or radiograph quality, and both identification methods (visual and geometric) yielded similar reliability, supporting the use of geometric construction techniques in cephalometric analysis.
