Comparative Evaluation of CephNinja for Ios/Android and Nemoceph for Computer for Cephalometric Analysis: A Study to Evaluate the Diagnostic Performance for CephNinja for Cephalometric Analysis.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate and compare the accuracy and reliability of cephalometric analysis performed using the mobile-based application CephNinja (version 5.09) and the computer-based software NemoCeph (version 6.00). A sample of 60 pretreatment digital lateral cephalometric radiographs was analyzed for skeletal, dental, and soft tissue parameters using both software tools. The results showed no significant differences in most skeletal and soft tissue measurements between the two platforms. However, significant differences were observed in specific dental parameters, including the incisor occlusal plane angle, U1-NA (linear), and L1-NB (linear). The findings suggest that both CephNinja and NemoCeph are reliable for cephalometric analysis, with CephNinja emerging as a viable alternative to NemoCeph. Limitations include a small sample size and single-center data collection, warranting further research with larger, diverse populations and extended study durations to validate these findings.
