Reliability and Validity of Dental Arch Measurements Obtained from Photographs and Scanned Images of Dental Casts with that of Conventional Dental Cast
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Dental Advancements - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
Context: Successful orthodontic treatment is based on comprehensive diagnosis and treatment planning. Study casts have always been important in orthodontics. They are a tool of basic diagnosis that can tell us about the patient’s occlusion in 3 planes of space. This information is useful when making a diagnosis and planning orthodontic treatment. Aims and Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of dental arch measurements obtained from photographs and scanned images of dental casts with that of the conventional dental cast. Materials and Methods: The study comprised of 50 patients (25 males and 25 females) aged 15–24 in permanent dentition without agenesis and/or tooth loss. Twenty-eight variables were examined. Results: A paired t -test and interclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were used to evaluate validity and reliability. ICC revealed excellent reliability for photographic methods ( P < 0.05). Conclusion: Photographs seems to be a clinically acceptable alternative to stone casts for the routine measurements used in orthodontic practice.
