ABSTRACT
The objective of this paper is to establish, validate and test the reproducibility and accuracy of a digital method to measure linear and angular distances in human hard palate of dry skulls. Digital photographs were made in 10 human adult skulls and measurements were made with the aid of AutoCAD software and with a digital caliper in the same skulls by one observer in a blind fashion to compare both methods. To validate the digital method, measurements was made in 20 skulls by 3 observers. The differences of the measurements were not statistically significant between both method and between the 3 observers. The use of digital cameras followed by image analysis with AutoCAD, a software initially developed for engineering and architecture, revealed to be an excellent tool for biometry in morphology in medical and dentistry areas combining easy handling with accessibility.
RESUMEN
Los objetivos de este trabajo fueron establecer, validar y probar la reproductividad y exactitud de un método digital para medidas lineares y distancia angular en el paladar duro de cráneos humanos secos. Fotografías digitales fueron realizadas en 10 cráneos de hombres adultos. Las medidas fueron tomadas con la ayuda del software AutoCAD® y con un caliper digital en las muestras de cráneos, por un observador, para comparar ambos métodos. Para validar el método digital, fueron realizadas mediciones en 20 cráneos, por 3 observadores. Las diferencias de las mediciones no fueron estadísticamente significativas entre ambos métodos y entre los 3 observadores. El uso de cámaras digitales, seguido por análisis de imágenes con AutoCAD®, un software inicialmente desarrollado para ingeniería y arquitectura, reveló ser una excelente herramienta para biometría en morfología, en las áreas de medicina y odontología, combinando un fácil manejo y accesibilidad.
