Agreement Between WebCeph and Manual Cephalometric Analysis: Cleft and Non-Cleft Patients Comparison: A Retrospective Method-Comparison Study. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Cephalometric analysis is essential in orthodontic diagnosis, but landmark identification is particularly challenging in cleft lip and palate (CLP). Manual tracing remains, however, time‐consuming and operator‐dependent, the gold standard. AI‐based systems such as WebCeph may improve efficiency, though agreement with manual
