Book Bias in Superimposition of Lateral Cephalograms in Anterior Openbite Patients

Download or read book Bias in Superimposition of Lateral Cephalograms in Anterior Openbite Patients written by Sarah Ovard and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anterior open bite malocclusion can be treated non-surgically using fixed appliances, clear aligners, or TADs. Proponents of clear aligners and TADs often attribute bite closure to molar intrusion and counterclockwise rotation of the mandibular plane. These changes may be supported by superimpositions. However, the process of creating a superimposition is subjective, and therefore may be influenced by practitioner bias. The initial and final lateral cephalograms from 30 adult anterior openbite patients were used in this study. Ten of these patients were treated with fixed appliances, 10 with clear aligners, and 10 with temporary anchorage devices (TADs). We asked six orthodontic graduate students and six orthodontic practitioners to complete superimpositions using these radiographs in three separate sessions. In the first session, the raters were told that all patients received treatment with fixed appliances only. In the second session, the raters were told that all patients were treated with clear aligners only, and at the third session, they were told all patients were treated with fixed appliances and TADs. Superimpositions were performed using Dolphin software, and each superimposition was saved as a PDF image. Change in the mandibular plane was the primary outcome and was assessed categorically (closed, no change, opened). Cephalometric values were measured and used to investigate the dental and skeletal changes associated with treatment. Although the raters demonstrated a slight tendency toward the mandibular plane closing or staying the same when told the treatment was clear aligners or TADs, these differences were not statistically significant. A high degree of intra- and inter- rater variability in the mandibular plane change was present from all 3 superimposition sessions. The measurements from the lateral cephs showed significant changes for overbite and for incisor vertical and angular movements. Almost no change was observed in anterior facial height, mandibular plane angle, or vertical movement of the 1st molars. A significant amount of superimposition bias was not observed in this study. However, there was considerable intra- and inter-rater reliability. This suggests that the same initial and final cephs may be interpreted very differently, based on the subjective superimposition of the raters.

Book EVALUATING THE DIAGNOSTIC VALUE OF LATERAL CEPHALOGRAM RADIOGRAPHS

Download or read book EVALUATING THE DIAGNOSTIC VALUE OF LATERAL CEPHALOGRAM RADIOGRAPHS written by Jay Vijendra Patel and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There remains a discord among orthodontists regarding the usefulness of a lateral cephalogram radiograph as a part of diagnostic records for treatment planning. Today, orthodontists take diagnostic lateral cephalograms largely based on a personal preference, rather than following any evidence-based approached for determining whether taking the radiograph will affect treatment planning. The aim of this study is to identify patients with the type of malocclusion for which the availability of a lateral cephalogram radiograph will affect the treatment plan. This would prevent patients, whose treatment plan would not benefit from a diagnostic lateral cephalogram, from receiving unnecessary ionizing radiation. The data for this study was obtained from responses to two questionnaires, mailed five weeks apart, to ten orthodontists with clinical experience. Primarily, the orthodontists were required to treatment plan twenty cases, twice, once with full diagnostic records including a lateral cephalogram radiograph and once without. Six orthodontists completed both questionnaires. Based on the data, it was found that for approximately 25% of patients having a lateral cephalogram radiograph does affect treatment planning. These patients present with bilateral, sagittal dental malocclusions, matching significant soft-tissue profile disharmony and at least one arch with a moderate arch length discrepancy. A larger, follow-up study is suggested to further investigate the relationship between malocclusion, lateral cephalogram radiographs, and treatment planning.

Download or read book Open Bite Malocclusion written by Guilherme Janson and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-10-29 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Open-Bite Malocclusion: Treatment and Stability presents the etiology, treatment, and its stability of anterior open bite malocclusion in the early, mixed, and permanent dentitions. Special emphasis is devoted to orthodontic treatment and its stability in the permanent dentition because this is the time when treatment of open bite presents greater relapse. Appropriate for clinicians, orthodontic residents, and dental students, Open-Bite Malocclusion covers the most simple treatment approaches to the most complex, from orthodontic devices to tooth extraction to surgery. Unique to this book is the discussion of post-treatment stability. Drs. Janson and Valarelli highlight the post-treatment changes and presents strategies to increase treatment stability. This allows the clinician to be able to predict the stability probabilities when treating anterior open bite malocclusions in the permanent dentition either with or without extraction, orthodontic-surgical therapy, or with occlusal adjustment.
