Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, posteroanterior radyografilerde kullanılan anatomik ve dişsel noktaların tekrarlanabilirliğini bilgisayar programı ile belirlemektir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmada kullanılan röntgenler Kırıkkale Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi Anabilim dalından alınmıştır. Röntgenler Ankara Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi Anabilimdalında Dolphin 3D sefalometrik analiz programı ile ölçülmüştür filmlerde belirlenen 22 nokta 3 araştırmacı tarafından tekrarlanabilirliği test edilmiştir.
Bulgular: Çalışmanın sonucuna göre iskeletsel noktalar dişsel noktalara göre daha güvenilirdir. En az güvenilir iskeletsel nokta zigomatiko-frontal sutur iken mandibular kanin en güvenilir dental noktadır.
Sonuç: Çalışmada ayrıca iki düzlem değerlendirilmiş ve beklenmedik şekilde okluzal düzlem midsagittal düzleme göre daha güvenilir bulunmuştur.

Repeatability of the Points Used in Posteroanterior Radiography Measurements

Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the repeatability of anatomical and dental points used in posteroanterior radiographs with a computer program.
Materials and method: X-rays used in the study were taken from the Kirikkale University, Department of Dentistry. X-rays were measured with Dolphin 3D cephalometric analysis program at Ankara University Faculty of Dentistry, and the repeatability of the 22 points de-termined on the films was tested by 3 researchers.
Results: According to the results of the study, skeletal points are more reliable than dental points. The least reliable skeletal point is the zygomatico-frontal suture, while the mandibu-lar canine is the most reliable dental point.
Conclusion: In the study, two planes were also evaluated and unexpectedly, it is more reli-able in the occlusal plane compared to the midsagittal plane.
