Abstract
Abstract
Background
This study aimed to validate the availability of superimposing full-color mandibular digital models (DMs) by the morphological characteristics of vessels in extraction adult patients.
Methods
Twenty-eight adult patients were included, and their DMs were superimposed with pre- and posttreatment cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and the morphological characteristics of lingual vessels. The measurements of each tooth were compared under the same coordinate system.
Results
The ICC results displayed exceptional agreement in intra- and interrater assessments, with scores exceeding 0.891 in the crown for intrarater agreement and scores surpassing 0.888 in the crown for interrater agreement. Furthermore, no statistically significant differences were found in the 2 superimposition methods (P > 0.05).
Conclusion
The morphological characteristics of vessels under the mucogingival junction in the lingual side of mandible of are stable enough for the superimposition of mandibular DMs in the adult patients undergo orthodontic treatment with premolars extraction.
