Objective-To compare the three-dimensional (3D) linear displacements and the mesiodistal and buccolingual angulation changes after orthodontic treatment in digital dental models (DDMs) and 3D models derived from cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Settings and Sample Population-Digital dental model and CBCT scans were selected from 24 adults who had undergone orthodontic treatment for mandibular anterior crowding. Material and Methods-3D linear displacements and changes in angular measurements (mesiodistal and buccolingual angulation) were assessed in pre-and posttreatment DDM and CBCT images using the software ITK-snap and 3D SlicerCMF. Intra-and inter-rater agreement of measurements in DDM and CBCT were tested using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
