Comparison Between Cephalometric Measurements Derived from Cone Beam Computed Tomography and Lateral Cephalogram

Objective: To compare the mean craniofacial linear and angular measurements derived from cone beam computed tomography synthesized lateral cephalogram those obtained conventional cephalogram.
 Study Design: Comparative cross-sectional study.
 Place Duration of Study: Armed Forces Institute Dentistry (AFID), Rawalpindi Pakistan, Feb 2017 to Nov 2018.
 Methodology: Sample size was 32. Following were evaluated; anterior facial height, right side left mandibular length, nasal spine Upper lower incisors A-Pog distance. These by both means i.e., cephalogram. Each measurement taken twice single operator with a difference two weeks.
 Results: No significant found among through head film cephalograph except for length (for which p=0.04).
 Conclusions: Cone can be suggested as substitute Especially in conditions when is already required treatment planning thus reducing supplementary x- ray exposure expenditure an additional x-ray.
