Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of a newly developed mobile application versus the conventional method of cephalometric analysis in the diagnosis of dental and skeletal deformities among pre-adolescent patients.

Condition or Disease	Intervention/Treatment	Phase
Mobile Application; Cephalometric Analysis	Diagnostic Test: newly developed mobile application	N/A

Detailed Description

A mobile application will be developed to help pedodontists in orthodontic diagnosis, and treatment of dentoalveolar, or skeletal deformations ,The mobile application will provide quick cephalometric analysis and therefore, offers rapid and accurate case diagnosis, reduces errors in tracing, measurement, and identification of the landmark.

Reference test: Cephalometric analysis by the conventional method

-Trial design: Diagnostic accuracy study

Arms and Interventions

Arm

Intervention/Treatment

Experimental: Lateral cephalometric radiographs of pre-adolescent patients (8-13) years old.

Diagnostic Test: newly developed mobile application; The application will be developed in native Android, using Java (backend) and XML (front-end) as the programming language. The program of choice will be Android Studio®, YouTube® (video reproduction) and Firebase® (database) will be used as external APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). The layout of the application will be developed using: Adobe Illustrator® software. The logo, brand, objects, and shapes of the mobile application will be designed to enable to resize of the images without any loss of quality, due to the wide range of scales available in current smartphones

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

1. The Accuracy of the newly developed mobile application versus the conventional method of cephalometric analysis in the diagnosis [3 monthes]

   The accuracy of the mobile application will be measured based on cephalometric analysis angles( by degrees) of Egyptian people according to Soliman SA. PHD thesis 1988
