Digital Cephalometric Tracings by PRO-CEPH V3 Software for Comparative Analyses of Vertical Dimension in Edentulous Patients
Background: Several methods, some physiological, some radiographical and some merely based on experience are taken upon by the practitioner to get him/her close to VDO in the edentulous patients. No single method can however claim to be the perfect answer. Lateral cephalograms have been a standa...

| description | Background: Several methods, some physiological, some
radiographical and some merely based on experience are taken
upon by the practitioner to get him/her close to VDO in the
edentulous patients. No single method can however claim to be
the perfect answer. Lateral cephalograms have been a standard
mode of determining the vertical dimensions in dentate and
edentulous patients since the past. Due to unavoidable manual
errors, there are chances of variations in the radiographic
method too. Advancement in the digital technology has made
recording jaw relations faster, simpler and more precise.
Aim: This study compared the vertical dimension of occlusion
in edentulous patients recorded by using three different
physiological methods with the aid of digital cephalometric
tracings using indigenously developed PRO-CEPH V3
software.
Materials and Methods: For the present study a total of 50
dentulous and 25 edentulous patients were selected through
inclusion and exclusion criteria. A lateral cephalometric radiograph was taken for all the 50 dentulous subjects at Maximum
Intercuspation (VDO) whereas three lateral cephalometric radiographs were obtained for all edentulous patients at the VDO
following three different techniques- the Niswonger’s method,
Phonetics method and Swallowing threshold method. Cephalometric tracings were carried out using indigenously developed
PRO-CEPH V3 software. Linear and angular measurement were
made and analysed.
Conclusion: The indigenously developed software PROCEPH V3 is capable of making both the linear and angular
measurement and therefore provide with relative credibility
information regarding the possible VDO in the edentulous
patients through cephalometric radiography. |
