Accuracy of Digital Three-Dimensional Root Position Prediction Via Digitized Models
- Conditions
- Orthodontic Appliance Complication
- Registration Number
- NCT03552640
- Lead Sponsor
- Cairo University
- Brief Summary
Measuring the accuracy of a new technique by which root positions can be predicted at the pre-finishing stage of the comprehensive orthoodntic treatment
- Detailed Description
A CBCT is taken Pre-Treatment
Segmentation of teeth is done from the CBCT exported as STL files and kept aside.
Routine comprehensive orthodontic treatment is done till pre-finishing stage.
Impression for teeth is taken at this timepoint.
A cast is poured and laser scanned.
Now the investigators have segmented teeth and a cast with new crown positions
The investigators will superimpose the teeth on the crowns of the digital cast to obtain the " Predicted Root Position" (PRP)
To check accuracy of this Prediction a CBCT is taken and compared to the prediction to check its accuracy.
