We have a good consistency of expert opinions when determining the reference points of the soft-tissue face profile. Herewith, the highest consistency of expert opinions is observed for soft-tissue reference points of the upper and lower lips (LL and EN points) with the average variation coefficients equal to 0.557726 and 0.566349 respectively; and the lowest consistency is observed for the hard tissue point Po with the average variation coefficient of 0.819904. Despite rather serious shortcomings in determining separate points (such as Or, DT, Po) in teleradiological images of the lateral skull projection, the method for determining soft-tissue profilometric reference points gives satisfactory results for more than 85.87% cases. In general, the method can be considered clinically reliable. However, the means and methods for identifying reference points require improving.
