The use of CBCT in orthodontics with special focus on upper airway analysis in patients with sleep-disordered breathing. Dentomaxillofac Radiol 2024; 53:178-188. [PMID: 38265247 PMCID: PMC11003665 DOI: 10.1093/dmfr/twae001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2023] [Revised: 11/14/2023] [Accepted: 12/29/2023] [Indexed: 01/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Applications of cone-beam CT (CBCT) in orthodontics have been increasingly discussed and evaluated in science and practice over the last two decades. The present work provides a comprehensive summary of current consolidated practice guidelines, cutting-edge innovative applications, and future outlooks about potential use of CBCT in orthodontics with a special focus on upper airway analysis in patients with sleep-disordered breathing. The present scoping review reveals that clinical applications of CBCT in orthodontics are broadly supported by evidence for the diagnosis of dental anomalies, temporomandibular joint disorders, and craniofacial malformations. On the other hand, CBCT imaging for upper airway analysis-including soft tissue diagnosis and airway morphology-needs further validation in order to provide better understanding regarding which diagnostic questions it can be expected to answer. Internationally recognized guidelines for CBCT use in orthodontics are existent, and similar ones should be developed to provide clear indications about the appropriate use of CBCT for upper airway assessment, including a list of specific clinical questions justifying its prescription.

Shakr S, Negm I, Saifeldin H. Evaluation of digital and manual orthodontic diagnostic setups in non-extraction cases using ABO model grading system: an in-vitro study. BMC Oral Health 2024; 24:207. [PMID: 38336704 PMCID: PMC10858554 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-024-03961-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2023] [Accepted: 02/01/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the outcome quality of manual and digital orthodontic diagnostic setups in non-extraction cases according to the American Board of Orthodontics model grading system and to calculate the laboratory time needed for orthodontic diagnostic setup construction. METHODS The sample consisted of 60 pretreatment models of non-extraction orthodontic cases with age ranges of 18-30. The study models were duplicated and scanned with 3Shape R-750 scanner. Digital and manual diagnostic setups were constructed according to their respective treatment plans. Digital diagnostic setups were 3D printed and then both manual and digital setups were assessed using the modified American Board of Orthodontics Cast Radiograph evaluation score (ABO CRE), which includes alignment, marginal ridge, buccolingual inclination, occlusal contacts, occlusal relationships, interproximal contacts, and overjet. The laboratory time needed for orthodontic setups was measured in minutes. RESULTS The total ABO CRE score of the digital diagnostic setup group (5.93 ± 2.74) was significantly lower than that of the manual diagnostic setup group (13.08 ± 3.25). The manual diagnostic setup had significantly larger scores in marginal ridge, overjet, overbite, buccolingual inclination, occlusal relationship, and total scores (P < 0.01). However, the digital diagnostic setup had a statistically larger occlusal contacts score than the manual diagnostic setup (P < 0.01). There was no significant difference between the alignment and the interproximal contacts scores in either group. The manual diagnostic setup needed significantly longer laboratory time (187.8 ± 14.22) than the digital setup (93.08 ± 12.65) (P < 0.01). Comparison between broken teeth was performed by using the chi-square test which found no significant difference between different tooth types. CONCLUSIONS Digital diagnostic setup is a reliable tool for orthodontic diagnostic setup construction providing excellent quality setup models. Manual diagnostic setup is time consuming with a technique-sensitive laboratory procedure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the accuracy of virtual orthodontic setup in simulating treatment outcomes and to determine whether virtual setup should be used in orthodontic practice and education. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic search was performed in five electronic databases: PubMed, Scopus, Embase, ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global, and Google Scholar from January 2000 to November 2022 to identify all potentially relevant evidence. The reference lists of identified articles were also screened for relevant literature. The last search was conducted on 30 November 2022. RESULTS This systematic review included twenty-one articles, where all of them were assessed as moderate risk of bias. The extracted data were categorized into three groups, which were: (1) Virtual setup and manual setup; (2) Virtual setup and actual outcomes in clear aligner treatment; (3) Virtual setup and actual outcomes in fixed appliance treatment. There appeared to be statistically significant differences between virtual setups and actual treatment outcomes, however the discrepancies were clinically acceptable. CONCLUSION This systematic review supports the use of orthodontic virtual setups, and therefore they should be implemented in orthodontic practice and education with clinically acceptable accuracy. However, high-quality research should be required to confirm the accuracy of virtual setups in simulating treatment outcomes.

Abstract
Nowadays, many people use clear aligners to address their dental issues. The efficacy of transparent dental aligners must be investigated even though they are more aesthetically pleasing, easy to use, and tidy than permanent tools. Thirty-five patients in this study's sample group who used Nuvola® clear aligners for their orthodontic therapy were prospectively observed. Initial, simulated, and final digital scans were analysed with a digital calliper. The actual results were compared with the prescribed ending position to evaluate the efficacy of transversal dentoalveolar expansion. Aligner treatments in Groups A (12) and B (24), particularly in the dental tip measures, demonstrated high adherence to the prescription. On the other hand, the gingival measures exhibited a greater level of bias, and the differences were statistically significant. However, there was no difference in the outcomes between the two groups (12 vs. 24). Within specific parameters, the evaluated aligners were shown to be helpful in predicting movements in the transverse plane, particularly when considering movements linked to the vestibular-palatal inclination of the dental elements. This article compares the expansion effectiveness of Nuvola® aligners compared with other work in the literature using competitor companies.

Wang P, Li W, Li B, Han X, Bai D, Xue C. Comparison of bracket bonding between two CAD/CAM guided bonding devices: GBD-U vs GBD-B. J Dent 2023; 131:104456. [PMID: 36849067 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdent.2023.104456] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2022] [Revised: 01/05/2023] [Accepted: 02/15/2023] [Indexed: 03/01/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the bracket bonding accuracy, efficiency, reproducibility, and three-dimensional (3D) printing duration of the computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) unilateral contact guided bonding device (GBD-U) and the bilateral contact guided bonding device (GBD-B) in vitro. METHODS Five resin dental model sets were scanned and virtually bonded with brackets. GBD-U and GBD-B were designed and 3D printed for each model. GBD-Us had guide blocks that fit the occlusal sides of the bracket tie-wings, while GBD-Bs had guide arms that fit the occlusal and distal sides of the tie-wings. Five orthodontic residents were recruited to bond brackets on the same 3D-printed copies of resin models in a dental mannequin using GBD-Us and GBD-Bs, respectively. The time for 3D printing of GBDs and bracket bonding was recorded. The linear and angular deviations between the bonded brackets and the virtually bonded ones were measured. RESULTS A total of 50 sets of resin models (1000 brackets/tubes) were bonded. The time for 3D printing and bracket bonding was shorter for GBD-Us (41.96 mins/6.38 mins) than for GBD-Bs (78.04 mins/7.20 mins). In both devices, 100% linear deviations and over 95% angular deviations were below 0.5 mm or 2°, respectively. Deviations in the mesiodistal dimension, torque, angulation, and rotation were significantly lower in the GBD-U group (P<0.01). High inter-operator reproducibility of bracket bonding was confirmed for both devices. CONCLUSION GBD-U was more time-efficient in 3D printing. Both GBDs showed clinically acceptable accuracy, whereas GBD-U had higher bonding accuracy in the mesiodistal dimension, torque, angulation, and rotation than GBD-B. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE CAD/CAM GBD-U provides high bracket bonding accuracy in a time-efficient manner and has the potential to be clinically applied.

Abstract
Technology has revolutionized the way dentists are able to treat their patients. These technological advances have paved the way for the creation of virtual patient models utilizing these 3-dimensional intra-oral patient models, cone bean computer tomography (CBCT) radiograph scans, extraoral 3-dimensional scans, and jaw motion tracings to create a patient-specific model. These models are advantageous in planning surgical treatments by providing 3-dimensional views of vital anatomical structures to accurately identify the location, size, and shape of a structure or defect in order to plan accordingly. Virtual augmentation of either hard tissue (bone) and/or soft tissue (i.e., gingiva) can also be accomplished.Technology has allowed the capture of the dynamic motions of the jaw and combined them with the virtual patient to develop permanent restorations in harmony with the patient's orofacial complex. With the introduction of new technology in the realm of digital dentistry, patient care is being brought to a new and higher level. This creates a level of more optimal care that a dentist can deliver to patients.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to verify whether pre-treatment digital setups can accurately predict the tooth positions after presurgical orthodontic treatment has been performed in a 3-dimensional way. Twenty-six patients who underwent a combined orthodontic-orthognathic surgical treatment were included. Pre-treatment digital dental models were merged with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans. One operator fabricated virtual setups to simulate the tooth movements of the presurgical orthodontic treatment. Prior to surgery, digital dental models were merged with the CBCT scans. Differences between de virtual setups and the presurgical dental models were calculated using linear mixed model analyses. Differences in tooth displacements exceeding the boundaries of clinical acceptance (>2 degrees for rotations and >0.6 mm for translations) were found in 75% of the rotational and 52% of translational mean differences in the maxilla and in 74% of the rotational mean differences and 44% of the translational mean differences in the mandible. Significant differences were found for all tooth types and in all tooth displacement directions with significant effects of extractions and surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARME) procedures. The accuracy of the digital setup is still too limited to correctly simulate the presurgical orthodontic treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to explore and validate the consensus of orthodontic experts on the assessment of orthodontic treatment outcomes based on subjective and objective analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS The research consisted of two parts: the exploration and verification of expert consensus. First, a sample of 108 cases randomly selected from six dental schools in China were evaluated by 69 orthodontic experts and measured by researchers based on post-treatment study casts and lateral cephalograms, respectively. Then, through statistical analysis, the objective indicators significantly correlated with experts' subjective evaluations were selected, their weights were determined, and the critical values of satisfactory, acceptable and unacceptable grades were screened. Subsequently, another sample of 72 cases were evaluated by another 36 orthodontic experts, and the subjective evaluation results were compared with the objective measurement results. RESULTS There were six model indicators and seven cephalometric indicators being significantly correlated with the experts' subjective evaluations, including occlusal contact, overjet, midline, interproximal contact, alignment, occlusal relationship, L1/NB, ANB, SN/OP, U1/SN, LL-EP, Cm-Sn-UL and Ns-Prn-Pos, with a cumulative R2 of 0.704. In the verification part, the correlation coefficient between the 36 experts' subjective scores and objective regression scores was 0.716 (P < .001); the correlation coefficient between the 36 experts' subjective grades and objective grades was 0.757 (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS Orthodontic experts had good consistency in the subjective evaluation of the combined records of post-treatment study casts and lateral cephalograms. The objective indicators selected from subjective and objective analysis had good reliability and validity and could further improve the existing occlusal indices.

Abstract
Background The development of personalized and high-precision dental treatment is inseparable from the accurate measurement and analysis of the model. Compared with traditional plaster models, digital models allow dentists to obtain richer and more detailed inspection results. However, the measurement of digital models in clinical practice usually ignores the influence of the overall three-dimensional (3D) structure of teeth and tooth arrangement on the measurement results. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of calibrated tooth axis and tooth arrangement on tooth width and arch length. Methods A total of 110 digital models from 80 participants were used to measure teeth width and dental arch length using the following methods: Method A, simple positioning of the proximal and distal of teeth; Method B: calibration of the clinical crown axis; and Method C: calibration of the overall 3D axis of the teeth. The Measurand model included pre- and post-orthodontic models of the same patients to assess the impact of tooth alignment on outcomes. Results In the aligned dentition, whether the tooth axis was calibrated had no effect on the measurement results. On unaligned dentitions, calibrating the pinion allowed for more accurate measurements, with Method C the closest to the true size. Furthermore, the arrangement of teeth affected the measurement, but there was no continuous linear correlation with arch length discrepancy (ALD). Conclusions Clinicians should choose appropriate measurement methods according to actual needs when performing model measurement, and should pay attention to the influence of tooth axis, tooth shape, and arrangement on the measurement results.

Abstract
Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a modern imaging technique that uses X-rays to investigate the structures of the dento-maxillary apparatus and obtain detailed images of those structures. The aim of this study was to determine a functional mathematical model able to evaluate the elastic force intensity on each bracket and tube type element and the ways in which those components act on the orthodontic system being used. To analyze a real orthodontic system, we studied the case of a 13-year-old female patient. To transfer geometric information from tomographic images, we used the InVesalius software. This software can generate three-dimensional reconstructions based on sequences and files in the DICOM format and was purchased from CBCT equipment. We analyzed and processed the geometries of the converted tissues in InVesalius using the Geomagic software. After using the Geomagic software, we exported the resulting model to the SolidWorks software used in computer-aided design. In this software, the model is transformed into a virtual solid. After making the geometric model, we analyzed the model using the Ansys Workbench software, which incorporates finite element analysis techniques. Following the simulations, we obtained result maps, which showed the complete mechanical behavior of the analyzed structures.

There are various manual laboratory methods available for indirect positioning and bonding of lingual brackets. The manual setup has limitations because of its complicated laboratory procedures and requires time and specialized laboratory equipment. In addition, the manual method is also prone to human errors. In this case report, a description of a new method of laboratory preparation for the indirect bonding of lingual brackets is given by merging recent advances in digital dentistry with some of the ordinary manual steps in this field. Therefore, the well-known HIRO® technique has been modified by using the three-dimensional (3D) virtual setup instead of the traditional manual setup. This method does not require the use of any specialized laboratory equipment, and it is also cost-effective for patients who cannot afford fully customized lingual appliances. In this modified technique, 3Shape Ortho Analyzer™ software (3Shape, Copenhagen, Denmark) and a 3D printer (Prusa® i3 mk3; Prusa Research, Prague, Czech Republic) were used to align the teeth three-dimensionally into their desired positions and to produce the final working printed model on which lingual brackets were placed, and transfer caps were fabricated for clinical use.

Abstract
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) allows for more accurate 3D study of the craniofacial region and the development of a very precise treatment plan. The present pilot study aims to evaluate the skeletal outcomes of the rapid maxillary expander (RME) on the sagittal, transverse and vertical planes in growing patients subjected to CBCT at T0 and T1, and to compare the results from two different programs. The effects of the RME are monitored in 11 patients who were subjected to CBCT at T0, before the expansion, and at T1, 6 months after the end of the RME therapy. The results obtained are evaluated using two programs: Simplant and Delta-Dent. All of the analyses were performed by the same operator. Both programs reported statistically significant differences between the pre- and post-expansion values of the parameters on the transverse plane. On the vertical plane, only posterior facial height showed a statistically relevant variation. Both programs underlined a discrepancy between the pre- and post-expansion infraorbital and mental foramina distance values; however, this difference was considered statistically significant by Delta-Dent, and not by Simplant. CBCT is a reliable and effective tool for orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. Both of the evaluated programs are efficient in tridimensional cephalometric analysis.

Performance of Rigid and Soft Transfer Templates Using Viscous and Fluid Resin-Based Composites in the Attachment Bonding Process of Clear Aligners. Int J Dent 2022; 2022:1637594. [PMID: 35190741 PMCID: PMC8858075 DOI: 10.1155/2022/1637594] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2021] [Revised: 01/09/2022] [Accepted: 01/17/2022] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives The study aims at assessing the accuracy of the process of attachment bonding in aligner treatments. The analysis leads to the error estimation in the faithful reproduction of master model attachments using two types of transfer templates and two light-curing resin-based composites usually used in orthodontics. Methods The authors have used two transfer templates made of two different materials. The first, named Leone-biocompatible thermoforming material hard/soft, has a lower Young's modulus and is labelled as soft, while the other, named Leone-biocompatible thermoforming material, is marked as rigid. The resin-based composites possess different mechanical and rheological properties. Specifically, Transbond™ XT Light Cure Paste Adhesive, 3M has a higher viscosity than the TetricEvoflow, Ivoclar Vivadent, a flowable nanohybrid composite. The authors attempt to estimate the performance ranking between the four possible couples obtained by combining the two light-curing resin-based composites and transfer templates. Each combination was repeated in six models and compared with twelve master models, resulting in 36 total samples. A 3-D laser scanner is used to generate a digital model of each model. The comparison between digital models is the base for a comparative assessment in terms of relative and absolute error. The relative error is estimated using scalar performance indicators ranging from 0 to 1, where 1 indicates the optimum matching. The absolute error estimated from the mean square error between the coordinates of each digital model yields the reproduction accuracy in micrometer. Furthermore, the authors attempted to assess the error distribution by evaluating the point-by-point difference between the digital models. Results This analysis aims at localizing the sources of error in the considered models. The use of Transbond™ XT Light Cure Paste Adhesive, 3M with a rigid transfer template is always associated with significant accuracy and minor dispersion. However, in a few instances, using the soft template or the flowable resin-based composite can lead to bad performances. Significance. The data processing bestowed the following performance ranking from the first with lower reproduction error to the last characterized by the worst performance: (1) attachments bonding with rigid template and Transbond™ XT Light Cure Paste Adhesive, 3M, (2) attachments bonding with soft template and Transbond™ XT Light Cure Paste Adhesive, 3M, (3) attachments bonding with rigid template and TetricEvoflow, Ivoclar Vivadent, and (4) attachments bonding with soft template and TetricEvoflow, Ivoclar Vivadent.

Operator Performance of the Digital Setup Fabrication for Orthodontic–Orthognathic Treatment: An Explorative Study. J Clin Med 2021; 11:jcm11010145. [PMID: 35011886 PMCID: PMC8745578 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11010145] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2021] [Revised: 12/18/2021] [Accepted: 12/21/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
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.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical accuracy of the fusion of intra-oral scans in cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans using two commercially available software packages. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten dry human skulls were subjected to structured light scanning, CBCT scanning, and intra-oral scanning. Two commercially available software packages were used to perform fusion of the intra-oral scans in the CBCT scan to create an accurate virtual head model: IPS CaseDesigner® and OrthoAnalyzer™. The structured light scanner was used as a gold standard and was superimposed on the virtual head models, created by IPS CaseDesigner® and OrthoAnalyzer™, using an Iterative Closest Point algorithm. Differences between the positions of the intra-oral scans obtained with the software packages were recorded and expressed in six degrees of freedom as well as the inter- and intra-observer intra-class correlation coefficient. RESULTS The tested software packages, IPS CaseDesigner® and OrthoAnalyzer™, showed a high level of accuracy compared to the gold standard. The accuracy was calculated for all six degrees of freedom. It was noticeable that the accuracy in the cranial/caudal direction was the lowest for IPS CaseDesigner® and OrthoAnalyzer™ in both the maxilla and mandible. The inter- and intra-observer intra-class correlation coefficient showed a high level of agreement between the observers. CLINICAL RELEVANCE IPS CaseDesigner® and OrthoAnalyzer™ are reliable software packages providing an accurate fusion of the intra-oral scan in the CBCT. Both software packages can be used as an accurate fusion tool of the intra-oral scan in the CBCT which provides an accurate basis for 3D virtual planning.
