3D aesthetic evaluation of skeletal class Ⅱ and classⅢ subjects following Cm-Sn-Ls and Li-Sm-Pg angle change / 实用口腔医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To study the influence of Cm-Sn-Ls and Li-Sm-Pg angle change on facial 3D aesthetics and to compare the aesthetic evaluation difference between orthodontic professionals and non-professionals.Methods:Facial photographs of a skeletal class Ⅱ and a class Ⅲ subject were respectively obtained and 3D head inodels were created by 3DMAX.Then 16 head models were obtained for each subject by changing Cm-Sn-Ls and Li-Sm-Pg angles.30 othodontic professionals and 60 non-professionals were chosen to score the models by NRS.Results:For class Ⅱ subject,the 2 groups gave lowest score to original profile,Cm-Sn-Ls and Li-Sm-Pg angle change of + 15°,-15°;the professionals gave highest score to(+ 10°,0)、(+ 15°,0),while non-professionals gave highest score to (+ 5 °,-5 °) and (+ 5°,-10°).For class Ⅲ subject,the 2 groups selected original profile,(0,+ 15 °) and (0,+ 10°) for lowest score,and professionals selected (-5°,+ 15°) 、(-10°,+ 15°) for highest score,while non-professionals choose (-10°,+5°) 、(-15°,0) for highest score (between groups,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion:Both orthodontic professionals and non-professionals like the profile with appropriate compensation for skeletal class Ⅱ and class Ⅲ patients,but there is some aesthetic difference about the amount of compensation between the two groups.
