Contains fulltext : 245217.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access), The purpose of this study was to explore the operator performance of the fabrication of digital orthodontic setups integrated into cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans. Fifteen patients who underwent a combined orthodontic-orthognathic surgical treatment were included. The pre-treatment digital dental models and CBCT scans were fused, and four operators made virtual setups twice for all patients. Differences between the virtual setups were calculated by recording tooth crown movement from the pre-treatment model to the virtual setup. To examine performance, Pearson's correlation coefficients, duplicate measurement errors, and inter-operator differences were calculated. For intra-operator performance, correlation values varied among tooth types, with mean correlation values from 0.66 to 0.83 for the maxilla and 0.70 to 0.83 for the mandible. For inter-operator performance, mean correlation values varied from 0.40 to 0.87 for the maxilla and from 0.44 to 0.80 for the mandible. Rotational mean differences exceeded the range of clinical acceptance (>2 degrees) at 18% for the maxilla and 20.8% for the mandible, and translational mean differences exceeded the range of clinical acceptance (0.6 mm) at 9.7% and 26% for the maxilla and mandible, respectively. The intra- and inter-operator performance of digital orthodontic setup construction for virtual three-dimensional orthognathic planning shows significant errors.

Contains fulltext : 220590.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access), OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical accuracy of virtual orthodontic setups by using a new CBCT-based approach. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ten patients who underwent pre-surgical orthodontics were included in this study. Pre-treatment and pre-surgical cone-beam CT (CBCT) scans and digital dental models were available. The pre-treatment digital dental model was used to create an orthodontic virtual setup. The digital dental models were fused with the corresponding CBCT scans, and the two CBCT scans were aligned using voxel-based matching. Moving each individual tooth from the virtual setup to the final outcome allows the calculation of the accuracy of the virtual setup by using an iterative closest point algorithm. Differences between virtual setup and final outcome were recorded as well as the ICC between two observers. RESULTS: The inter-observer variability showed a high level of agreement between the observers. The largest mean difference between observers was found in the cranial/caudal direction (0.36 +/- 0.30 mm) and the roll rotation (1.54 +/- 0.98 degrees ). Differences between the virtual setup and final outcome were small in the translational direction (0.45 +/- 0.48 mm). Rotational mean differences were larger with the pitch of the incisors (0.00 +/- 7.97 degrees ) and molars (0.01 +/- 10.26 degrees ) as largest difference. Excessive extrusion of all upper teeth and more anterior movement than planned were seen for both upper and lower arch. Lower molars showed less extrusion. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The data of this study can be used to obtain more insight in the accuracy and achievability of orthodontic virtual setup. Tooth movement can now be studied in more details which can lead to new insights.

01 februari 2016, Item does not contain fulltext, AIM: To assess the feasibility of a new method to augment the three-dimensional virtual skull model with a detailed surface model of the dentition produced by intra-oral scanning, compared to the conventional triple scan procedure. MATERIALS & METHODS: In four patients who were planned for bimaxillary orthognathic surgery, the conventional triple scan procedure was carried out to create an augmented model. During scanning the patient wears a modified wax bite containing radio-opaque markers. An additional CBCT and laser scan of the wax bite and an intra-oral scan of the dentition were acquired. Surface-based and marker-based matching procedures were performed to integrate the intra-oral scans into the CBCT scan of the patient. The accuracy of the proposed method was assessed by measuring the distance between the occlusal surfaces of the registered intra-oral scans and the augmented model. RESULTS: Mean distances between the ios-dental cast registration and the augmented model were 0.30 mm (SD 0.20) and 0.27 mm (SD 0.20) for the upper and lower jaw, respectively. CONCLUSION: Intra-oral scans provide an accurate representation of the dental arches compared to the AlgiNot-dental casts and can be fused with CBCT scans.

Item does not contain fulltext, INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to determine the reproducibility and accuracy of linear measurements on 2 types of dental models derived from cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans: CBCT images, and Anatomodels (InVivoDental, San Jose, Calif); these were compared with digital models generated from dental impressions (Digimodels; Orthoproof, Nieuwegein, The Netherlands). The Digimodels were used as the reference standard. METHODS: The 3 types of digital models were made from 10 subjects. Four examiners repeated 37 linear tooth and arch measurements 10 times. Paired t tests and the intraclass correlation coefficient were performed to determine the reproducibility and accuracy of the measurements. RESULTS: The CBCT images showed significantly smaller intraclass correlation coefficient values and larger duplicate measurement errors compared with the corresponding values for Digimodels and Anatomodels. The average difference between measurements on CBCT images and Digimodels ranged from -0.4 to 1.65 mm, with limits of agreement values up to 1.3 mm for crown-width measurements. The average difference between Anatomodels and Digimodels ranged from -0.42 to 0.84 mm with limits of agreement values up to 1.65 mm. CONCLUSIONS: Statistically significant differences between measurements on Digimodels and Anatomodels, and between Digimodels and CBCT images, were found. Although the mean differences might be clinically acceptable, the random errors were relatively large compared with corresponding measurements reported in the literature for both Anatomodels and CBCT images, and might be clinically important. Therefore, with the CBCT settings used in this study, measurements made directly on CBCT images and Anatomodels are not as accurate as measurements on Digimodels.
