Handy Gadget for Cephalometric Analysis: A Systematic Review
Goutham N , Neeharika S , Vedavathi HK , Santosh Ramegowda , and Shailaja AM
55(1) 64–71, 2021
About the study
For this study, the authors performed a narrative review on cephalometric analysis software available on smartphones. The article reviews the reliance of smartphones for the assessment of cephalometric analysis. According to the article, ‘A rigorous research was performed by using keywords, and a total of 55 articles were obtained. Android and apple-based smartphones were also employed for this review. The keyword “cephalometric analysis” was typed into the “Google Play Store” or “App Store” and a total of eight applications were found suitable for the review. Each application was downloaded and tested based on performance, cost, and ease of usage.
What the study found
The study concluded that smartphone cephalometric analysis is a “game-changer’ and that the results show good reliability of the smartphone cephalometric analysis applications. The article also mentions that CephNinja is a revolutionary application and is undoubtedly (one of the two) most commonly used smartphone applications

Web-based Fully Automated Cephalometric Analysis: Comparisons between App-aided, Computerized, and Manual Tracings
Authors
Pamir Meriç , Julia Naoumova
Turk J Orthod 2020; 33(3): 142-9
About the study
The study compared 4 different systems relating to cephalometric analysis: fully automated, computerized, app-aided and manual tracing. In the study, the accuracy of manual cephalometric analysis was compared to cephalometric analysis using AI (CephX), a computerized method (Dolphin Imaging) and an app-aided method (CephNinja).
What the study found
The article concluded that the AI method of CephX (with manual corrections) is promising for clinical practice and also confirmed that both CephNinja and Dolphin are comparable to the manual methodology.

Comparison of reproducibility of cephalometric measurements derived from handheld (smartphone) device application versus manual cephalometric tracing
Authors
Sarvraj Singh Kohli, Virinder Singh Kohli
Int J Orthod Rehabil 2020;11:65-8.
About the study
The objective of the study was to assess the reproducibility of cephalometric measurements derived from an application (CephNinja) designed for handheld (smartphone) devices and manual cephalometry
What the study found
The study concluded that handheld (smartphone)‑assisted cephalometric analysis (with CephNinja) shows good agreement with manual tracing and can be employed for clinical decision‑making.

J Int Soc Prev Community Dent. 2020 May-Jun; 10(3): 286–291.
About the study
The aim of this study was to compare values of cephalometric analysis performed by CephNinja and NemoCeph for Downs’s analysis
What the study found
The article concluded that CephNinja presented a satisfactory result with NemoCeph, and can be used interchangeably with confidence.
Saudi Journal of Oral and Dental Research
Comparison of Reliability and Efficiency of Down’s and Steiner’s Cephalometric Analysis between Digital and Conventional Methods
Amrit S Maan, Anand K Patil
Saudi J Oral Dent Res, March 2019; 4(3): 109-115
About the study
The study compared the reliability and efficiency of Down’s and Steiner’s cephalometric analysis between conventional method and digital method using the CephNinja application. 50 lateral cephalograms were used. Down’s and Steiner’s cephalometric analyses were carried out using the conventional method and digital method using a mobile application, CephNinja. Values and time taken for the analyses were recorded for both manual and digital methods.
What the study found
The study concluded that CephNinja app is as reliable as the conventional method and significantly reduces the time taken for carrying out Down’s and Steiner’s analyses.
