Shows the Bland–Altman plot to evaluate method of agreement of the various parameters evaluated in the study.

Shows the linear regression analysis done after the Bland Altman test depicted in fig 3 and the presence or absence of proportional bias for each of the parameters between CBCT and lateral cephalogram
