Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the precision of lateral cephalometric Ricketts analysis measurements from NewTom 5G CBCT (NewTom) synthesized lateral cephalograms with Sirona Orthophos XG Plus (Sirona) digital lateral cephalograms. Materials & Methods: A Sirona digital lateral cephalogram and a NewTom synthesized lateral cephalogram of a phantom in the orthogonal and perspective projections were created. Metal washers in each plane of the phantom were measured in the vertical and horizontal dimensions and compared across the different imaging modalities. In Group 1, forty patients were randomly selected from the Loma Linda University Graduate Orthodontic Clinic who had …
