چکیده
Computer image monitoring was used for evaluation of dental arch changes. A new special device captured geometrically calibrated images permitting comparison of several different dental casts. In the first part of this study 792 sets of study casts were screened. Measurements of dental arch width between reference points of canines, first premolars and first molars were made: upper jaw: men: canines: 35.1 +/- 0.13 mm; first premolars: 37.5 +/- 0.13 mm; first molars: 48.1 +/- 0.19 mm; women: canines: 33.4 +/- 0.13 mm; first premolars: 35.6 +/- 0.15 mm; first molars: 46.7 +/- 0.19 mm. In the second part of the study, changes between initial, post-treatment and post-retention alignment (5-years after orthodontic therapy) of upper and lower dental arch of 36 subjects were analyzed. Upper and lower arch compression in first premolars and molars area was visible before treatment. We conclude that computer image monitoring can be used for evaluation of dental arch changes during the different steps of treatment.

Introduction: A study model is a precise three dimensional replica of patient’s dentition and plays an important role in treatment planning. Many digital multi-media applications have become available to the clinician and his or her staff to facilitate standard procedures in practice and management. The aim of this study is to evaluate reliability and validity of dental measurement made on dig...
متن کاملArch dimensional changes following orthodontic treatment with extraction of four first premolars
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Tooth extraction as a part of orthodontic treatment plan to create space for leveling and aligning teeth or causing tooth movement leads to changes in arch width and length. The outcome of these changes is important for the clinicians and affects the treatment and retention plans. Despite some previous studies, data in this regard are still scarce and further investigation i...

Background and Aim: External apical root resorption is a common iatrogenic consequence of orthodontic treatment. Much controversy exists in the literature about changes in root lengths at post treatment periods. Although many practitioners believe that resorption becomes stable after active treatment, quantitative data are scarce. The purpose of this study was to determine quantitative changes ...
متن کاملStability of Rapid Maxillary Expansion
The stability of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) was studied in 20 patients. Study models were evaluated immediately prior to treatment, at the end of treatment, and at least 4 years post-treatment with regards to maxillary and mandibular intermolar widths, intercanine widths, arch perimeters, and irregularity indices. The mean maxillary intermolar width increased by 3.7 mm during treatment, an...
