Computer-assisted cephalometric analysis.

C o m p u t e r s have entered the orthodontic specialty in two basic areas, practice management and orthodontic diagnosis. The latter area is mainly covered by computer-assisted cephalometric analysis systems. Although the advantages that a cephalometric analysis computer program may offer are probably less substantial than those of a practice management system, they are significant for both the orthodontic practitioner and the researcher1:
