ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to determine the differences in arch length, inter-canine distance, inter-premolar distance, intermolar distance and arch shape between dental discrepancies (crowding and spacing) in a sample of dental casts from the Afro-Colombian population of San Basilio de Palenque. An analytical, cross-sectional study was conducted on a convenience sample of 63 subjects aged 11 to 57years, of Afro-Colombian origin, with full dentition from first molar to first molar, without extensive caries or restorations, and excluding casts with defects due to loss. The differences between arch (upper and lower) variables were analyzed according to dental discrepancies. Plaster models digitalized with a TR1OS3 Mono scanner with exactitude (6.9 ± 0.9 pm) and precision (4.5 ± 0.9 pm) were analyzed with Orthonalyzer software. Statistical analyses were done on SPSS software (Version 20 for Windows) and Real Statistics. Spacing discrepancy of68.25% was found for upper arch and 66.66% for lower arch; crowding discrepancy of 19.04% for upper arch and 20.63% for lower arch, and an adequate ratio of 12.69% for both arches. No statistically significant difference (p>0.05) was found between arch parameters except for inter-premolar distance on the lower arch. The most frequent arch shape in the population was oval for both upper arch, with 76.19%, and lower arch, with 71.42%. Tooth size was larger in males than females but the difference was not statistically significant.


El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar las diferencias en longitud de arco, distancia intercanina, interpremolar, intermolar y la forma de arco entre discrepancias dentales (apiñamiento y espaciamiento), en una muestra de modelos dentales de la población afrocolombiana de San Basilio de Palenque. Se realizó un estudio analítico transversal, en una muestra por conveniencia de 63 sujetos con un rango de edad entre 11 y 57 años, de origen afrocolombiano, quienes tuvieron dentición completa de primer molar a primer molar, sin caries extensas, ni restauraciones; se excluyeron los modelos con defectos por el vaciado. Se analizaron las diferencias entre las variables de los maxilares (superior e inferior) con las discrepancias dentales. Se utilizaron modelos de yeso que fueron digitalizados con el escánerTR1OS3 Mono con una exactitud de (6.9 ± 0.9 pm) y una precisión de (4.5 ± 0.9 pm)y analizados con el software Orthonalyzer. Los análisis estadísticos se llevaron a cabo utilizando el software SPSS (Versión 20 para Windows) y Real Statistics. Se encontró una discrepancia de espaciamiento de un 68,25% para el arco superior y 66,66% en el arco inferior; y una discrepancia de apiñamiento en el arco superior de 19,04% e inferior de 20,63% y una relación adecuada de 12,69% para los dos arcos. No se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas (p>0.05) en los parámetros de arco a excepción de la distancia interpremolar del arco inferior. La forma de arco más frecuente en la población fue ovalada tanto en el arco superior con un 76,19% como en el arco inferior con un 71,42%. En cuanto al tamaño dental, se presentó mayor tamaño en los hombres que en las mujeres, pero este no fue estadísticamente significativo.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: This in vivo study assessed accuracy and reliability of tooth length measurements obtained from conventional panoramic radiographs and CBCT panoramic reconstructions to that of a digital caliper (gold standard). METHODS: The sample consisted of subjects who had CBCT and conventional panoramic radiographic imaging and who required maxillary premolar extraction for routine orthodontic treatment. A total of 48 teeth extracted from 26 subjects were measured directly with digital calipers. Radiographic images were scanned and digitally measured in Dolphin 3D software. Accuracy of tooth length measurements made by CBCT panoramic reconstructions, conventional panoramic radiographs and digital caliper (gold standard) were compared to each other by repeated measures one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni correction and by single measures intraclass correlation coefficient. RESULTS: Repeated root length measures with digital calipers, panoramic radiographs and CBCT constructed panoramic-like images were all individually highly reliable. Compared to the caliper (gold standard), tooth measurements obtained from conventional panoramic radiographs were on average 6.3 mm (SD = 2.0 mm) longer, while tooth measurements from CBCT panoramic reconstructions were an average of 1.7 mm (SD = 1.2 mm) shorter. CONCLUSIONS: In comparison to actual tooth lengths, conventional panoramic radiographs were relatively inaccurate, overestimating the lengths by 29%, while CBCT panoramic reconstructions underestimated the lengths by 4%. .


INTRODUÇÃO: este estudo in vivo avaliou a precisão e a confiabilidade de medições do comprimento dentário realizadas em radiografias panorâmicas convencionais e em reconstruções panorâmicas de tomografias computadorizadas de feixe cônico (TCFC), comparando-as com medições feitas com um paquímetro digital, consideradas o padrão-ouro. MÉTODOS: a amostra incluiu indivíduos que já tivessem realizado tanto exames imaginológicos de TCFC quanto radiografias panorâmicas, e cujo tratamento ortodôntico exigisse a extração de pré-molar superior. No total, 48 dentes extraídos, de 26 pacientes, foram mensurados diretamente com paquímetros digitais. As radiografias foram escaneadas e digitalmente avaliadas com a ajuda do software Dolphin 3D. Por meio da análise de variância simples com correção de Bonferroni e Coeficiente de Correlação Intraclasse simples, comparou-se a precisão das medições de comprimento dentário realizadas em reconstruções panorâmicas de TCFC, em radiografias panorâmicas convencionais e com paquímetro digital. RESULTADOS: medições repetidas de comprimento dentário feitas com o paquímetro digital, radiografias panorâmicas e reconstruções panorâmicas de TCFC foram todas consideradas, individualmente, altamente confiáveis. Em comparação ao paquímetro, as medidas obtidas por meio de radiografias panorâmicas convencionais foram, em média, 6,3 ± 2,0mm mais longas, enquanto as medidas obtidas por meio das reconstruções panorâmicas de TCFC foram, em média, 1,7 ± 1,2mm mais curtas. CONCLUSÕES: em comparação com o real comprimento dentário, as radiografias panorâmicas convencionais foram relativamente ...

ABSTRACT

Objective: To analyze the reliability and reproducibility of a simplified method for analysis of dental angulation using digital photos of plaster dental casts. Methods: Digital and standardized photographs of plaster casts were performed and posteriorly imported to an angle reading graphic program in order to have measurements obtained. Such procedures were repeated to evaluate the random error and to analyze reproducibility through intraclass correlation. The sample consisted of 12 individuals (six male and six female) with full permanent dentition orthodontically untreated. The analyses were bilaterally carried out, and generated 24 measurements. Results: The random error showed variation of 0.77 to 2.55 degrees for teeth angulation. The statistical analysis revealed that the method presents excellent reproducibility (p < 0.0001) for all teeth, except for the upper premolars. In spite of that, it is still considered statistically significant (p < 0.001). Conclusion: The proposed method presents enough reliability that justifies its use in the development of scientific research as well as in clinical practice. .


Objetivo: analisar a confiabilidade e reprodutibilidade de um método simplificado para análise da angulação dentária que faz uso de fotografias digitalizadas de modelos de gesso. Métodos: foram realizadas fotografias digitalizadas e padronizadas de modelos de gesso, posteriormente transportadas para um programa gráfico de leitura de ângulos, para a obtenção das medidas. Tais procedimentos foram repetidos para avaliação do erro do método casual e para a análise da reprodutibilidade por meio da Correlação Intraclasse. A amostra constituiu-se de 12 indivíduos com dentição permanente completa e não tratados ortodonticamente, sendo seis do sexo masculino e seis do feminino. As análises foram feitas bilateralmente, gerando 24 medidas. Resultados: o erro casual mostrou uma variação de 0,77 a 2,55º para a angulação dos dentes. A análise estatística revelou que o método apresenta uma excelente reprodutibilidade (r = 0,65 - 0,91; p < 0,0001) para todos os dentes, exceto para os pré-molares superiores, mas ainda assim estatisticamente significativa (p < 0,001). Conclusão: o método proposto apresenta confiabilidade suficiente para justificar seu uso no desenvolvimento de pesquisas científicas, bem como na prática clínica. .

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to assess the applicability of gray scale inversion in performing digital linear endodontic measurements. Standardized digital images were taken of 40 extracted human permanent single-rooted teeth with K-files size 15 placed at different lengths in the root canal, using the CDR Wireless® digital system. All images were treated with Positive, a digital tool that inverts the grayscale value. Eight radiologists measured the distance between the lower limit of the rubber stop and the tip of the file on both original and positive images. After 15 days, they repeated this procedure in 50% of the image samples. The intra- and inter-examiner agreement was analyzed by intraclass correlation test, and the comparison between the two image groups and the actual lengths by the Student's t-test (α=0.05). Intra- and inter-examiner evaluation showed high reproducibility (r>0.95) of both original and positive images. No statistically significant differences (p>0.05) were found between measurements performed on original and positive images, but both differed significantly from the actual lengths (p<0.05). Gray scale inversion has low applicability in measuring endodontic files, since it did not improve the accuracy of measurements.


O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a aplicabilidade da inversão da escala de cinza na realização de mensurações endodônticas lineares digitais. Quarenta dentes unirradiculares humanos extraídos foram radiografados com limas K tamanho 15 posicionadas no canal radicular em diferentes comprimentos, usando o sistema digital CDR Wireless®. Todas as imagens foram tratadas com Positive, uma ferramenta digital que inverte os valores da escala de cinza. Oito radiologistas mediram a distância entre o limite inferior do stop de borracha e a ponta da lima endodôntica nas imagens originais e positivas. Após quinze dias, eles repetiram esse procedimento em 50% da amostra. A concordância intra- e interobservador foi analisada pelo teste de correlação intraclasse e a comparação entre os dois grupos de imagem e os valores reais, pelo teste t-Student (α=0,05). A análise intra- e interobservador apresentou elevada reprodutibilidade (r>0,95) das imagens original e Positive. Não foi encontrada diferença (p>0,05) entre as medidas realizadas nas imagens original e positiva, mas ambas diferiram dos valores reais (p<0,05). A inversão da escala de cinza tem baixa aplicabilidade na realização de mensuração endodôntica, considerando que as medidas não se apresentaram mais acuradas.

ABSTRACT

Objectives: Even though the constant relation of golden proportion and inner canthal distance (ICD) with the width of the maxillary central incisor (CIW) has been found in European population, it may not be applied to Indian population as we differ from Europeans racially and genetically. Hence, this study was carried out with the objectives of determining if these parameters are applicable to our population also. Materials and Methods: Three hundred south Indian subjects between 18 and 26 years of age, free from facial and dental deformities were examined. Inner canthus of each eye was used as soft tissue landmark. The maxillary central incisors were measured at the contact point area with the help of digital vernier caliper. The CIW was also calculated using golden proportion ratio to obtain the calculated central incisor width. A comparison was made with measured width. Statistical analyses were done to identify any significant difference using "Z" tests. Pearson's Correlation Coefficient test was used to evaluate the measured and the calculated width of the central incisor. Results: ICD and the width of two maxillary incisors were in golden proportion in south Indian population. Also, ICD when multiplied by a decreasing function value of the golden proportion and divided by 2 is a reliable predictor of determining CIW. Conclusion: As in the European population, the ICD and the golden proportion are reliable predictors for determining the width of the maxillary central incisors in the south Indian population also.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare skeletal, dentoalveolar and soft tissue characteristics in white and black Brazilian subjects presenting normal occlusions. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The sample comprised the lateral cephalograms of 106 untreated Brazilian subjects with normal occlusion, divided into two groups: Group 1- 50 white subjects (25 of each gender), at a mean age of 13.17 years (standard deviation 1.07); and Group 2- 56 black subjects (28 of each gender), at a mean age of 13.24 years (standard deviation 0.56). Variables studied were obtained from several cephalometric analyses. Independent t tests were used for intergroup comparison and to determine sexual dimorphism. RESULTS: black subjects presented a more protruded maxilla and mandible, a smaller chin prominence and a greater maxillomandibular discrepancy than white subjects. Blacks presented a more horizontal craniofacial growth pattern than whites. Maxillary and mandibular incisors presented more protruded and proclined in black subjects. The nasolabial angle was larger in whites. Upper and lower lips were more protruded in blacks than in whites. CONCLUSIONS: The present study found a bimaxillary skeletal, dentoalveolar and soft tissue protrusion in black Brazilian subjects compared to white Brazilian subjects, both groups with normal occlusion. Upper and lower lips showed to be more protruded in blacks, but lip thickness was similar in both groups.

ABSTRACT

The treatment of skeletal disharmonies presents better results when performed during the growth period. The physical changes that occur in every individual express growth, which is ruled by genetic, general and environmental factors. In order to identify such disharmonies and hence concentrate the clinical actions during treatment and influence facial growth, cephalometrics appears as a useful a diagnostic tool for identifying facial growth patterns or growth direction. Jarabak's cephalometric analysis is used to assess facial growth pattern of subjects with normal occlusion or malocclusions. The purpose of this study was to obtain mean values for cephalometric measurements from Jarabak's cephalometric analyses of black Brazilian subjects resident in the city of Piracicaba, São Paulo state, Brazil and vicinities, who presented Class I molar relationship with normal overjet and overbite, mild or no tooth crowding or spacing, and no history of orthodontic treatment. A sample of 37 stone plaster casts and 37 lateral teleradiographs from both male and female individuals aged 10 to 14 years was evaluated. Data were analyzed statistically by Student's t-test at 5 percent significance level. There was no significant differences between genders. The cephalometric measurements obtained in this study were similar to the Jarabak's standards, except for S-N mean value in females (66.50 mm ± 3.16), which was significantly lower than the standard.


A possibilidade de influenciar o crescimento das estruturas faciais continua sendo um grande desafio para os ortodontistas. As desarmonias esqueléticas apresentam melhores resultados se corrigidas no período de crescimento. As transformações ocorridas em um indivíduo representam a expressão do crescimento, que é regulado por fatores genéticos, gerais e ambientais. A fim de localizar as desarmonias, para concentrar as ações clínicas durante o tratamento e influenciar o crescimento facial, a cefalometria é um recurso diagnóstico útil na identificação do padrão facial ou na sua tendência de crescimento. A análise de Jarabak é utilizada para estudar o padrão de crescimento facial de indivíduos com oclusão normal ou com maloclusões. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi determinar os valores médios para as grandezas cefalométricas utilizadas na análise cefalométrica de Jarabak em indivíduos melanodermas, brasileiros, da região de Piracicaba, e com relação molar em Classe I com trespasse horizontal e vertical normal, com mínimo ou nenhum apinhamento ou diastemas e sem histórico de tratamento ortodôntico. Para tanto, foi utilizada uma amostra de 37 modelos de gesso pedra e 37 telerradiografias de cabeça, em norma lateral, de indivíduos de ambos os gêneros, compreendidos na faixa etária entre 10 a 14 anos. Os resultados foram submetidos ao teste "t" de Student, com nível de significância de 5 por cento. Não houve diferenças significantes entre os gêneros. As medidas encontradas na população estudada foram semelhantes ao padrão, diferindo somente o S-N para o gênero feminino, que foi de 66,50 mm (± 3,16), significantemente menor que a média padrão.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVOS: avaliar a confiabilidade na identificação de marcadores observados em radiografias PA. METODOLOGIA: em 3 crânios humanos secos procedeu-se à instalação de aparelhos expansores do tipo Hyrax, nos quais adaptaram-se marcadores nos acessórios ortodônticos. RESULTADOS: a comparação estatística dos 27 cefalogramas confeccionados revelou para as medidas angulares valores dos erros com pequenas variações, entretanto os menores erros foram encontrados para as medidas lineares entre os marcadores. Deste modo, conclui-se que a pouca variabilidade na identificação dos marcadores demonstrou sua confiabilidade para o uso em estudo com telerradiografias PA.Os erros para as medias angulares atribui-se às dificuldades na determinação de estruturas anatômicas. CONCLUSÃO: os marcadores avaliados neste estudo parecem prestarem-se como estruturas confiáveis em telerradiografias PA utilizadas em pesquisas longitudinais.

ABSTRACT

Se estudia la arcada normal de 50 niños entre tres y cinco años, clínicamente sanos, sin anomalías dentarias y con maxilares esqueléticamente equilibrados para obtener patrones descriptivos de la oclusión primaria en nuestra población. La referencia utilizada en la práctica responde a una población extranjera, por lo que consideramos necesario conocer las particularidades de nuestro fenotipo. Los resultados muestran que el maxilar superior es mayor transversalmente que el inferior, presentando un overjet perimétrico que permanece casi constante en caninos, primeros y segundos molares. Las separaciones interdentarias de los arcos dentarios se presentan en la versión de generalizados tanto en el maxilar superior (46 por ciento) como en el maxilar inferior (41 por ciento). El entrecruzamiento horizontal (92 por ciento) y vertical (86 por ciento) a nivel anterior es importante, con un overbite del tercio gingival o sobremordida severa (40 por ciento). Los elementos dentarios temporarios presentan un tamaño generalmente mayor a los obtenidos en otras poblaciones extranjeras. La relación canina y molar indican un 96 por ciento de clase I canina y 84 por ciento de plano terminal recto. Se describe un índice de la arcada temporaria al relacionar el ancho y el largo máximo
