Aim: Observe the measurements of the intercanine and intermolar space of digital models and compare the reliability of different software, Meshmixer, 3D Slicer and Nemocast. Methods: Inclusion and exclusion criteria were used to obtain the study sample. Thus, a sample made up of 29 patients obtained from a database with their respective digital models was obtained. Results: In the results of the measurement in the three programs we obtained that the difference in the upper intercanine space is 1.43 mm, in the lower intercanine space it is 0.26 mm, in the upper intermolar space it is 0.11 mm and the lower intermolar space is 0.25mm. Conclusion: There was no significant difference between the results obtained in the three Meshmixer, Nemocast and 3D Slicer programs, thus providing reliable and safe data for diagnostic and planning studies in orthodontics.
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.
