Abstract
Background and objectives Micro-implant-assisted expanders have shown significant effects on the mid-face, including a degree of asymmetry. The aim of this study is to quantify the magnitude, parallelism, and asymmetry of this type of expansion in non-growing patients. Methods A retrospective study on a sample of 31 non-growing patients with an average age of 20.4 years old, with cone beam computed tomography images taken before and right after expansion using maxillary skeletal expander (MSE) were assessed for skeletal expansion at three landmarks bilaterally. Results Average magnitude of total expansion was 4.98 mm at the anterior nasal spine (ANS) and 4.77 mm at the posterior nasal spine (PNS) which showed statistical significance using a paired t test with p < 0.01. Average expansion at the PNS was 95% of that at the ANS. The sample was divided into symmetric (n = 15) and asymmetric (n = 16) based on the difference in expansion at the ANS, with 16 out of 31 patients exhibiting statistically significant asymmetry. Conclusions MSE achieves distinctly parallel expansion in the sagittal plane but can exhibit asymmetrical expansion in the transverse plane.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The increasing use of three-dimensional (3D) imaging in orthodontics has led to the development of 3D superimposition techniques. These techniques use stable anatomic structures as references in order to compare Cone Beam CT (CBCT) scans of the same subject at different time-points. Three methods have been described in the literature: landmark-based, surface-based and voxel-based 3D superimpositions. OBJECTIVE This article focuses on the voxel-based approach, which is the most described and the only one that can be fully automatized. The aim of this paper is to offer clinicians a practical tutorial on craniofacial voxel-based 3D superimposition. MATERIAL AND METHODS We provide an updated overview of the available implementation methods, describing their methodology, validations, main steps, advantages and drawbacks. The historical open-source method is the most widespread for research purposes, but takes around three hours to achieve for an experienced operator. Several commercially-available software perform superimpositions in a few minutes. RESULTS We used two of the available methods to conduct the superimposition process with three representative clinical cases in order to illustrate the different types of results that can be obtained. CONCLUSIONS Commercially-available software provide user-friendly and fully automatized superimposition methods, allowing clinicians to perform it easily and helping to reduce human error in image analysis. Still, quantitative evaluation of the results remains the main challenge of this technique.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to assess the accuracy of virtual surgical planning (VSP) performed by Dolphin Imaging software (version 11.9; Dolphin Imaging and Management Solutions, Chatsworth, Calif). METHODS Ten people requiring bimaxillary surgery and genioplasty were followed up prospectively. All patients had preoperative cone-beam computed tomography, plaster models, and photographs allowing for VSP. Interocclusal intermediate surgical splints were produced using a 3-dimensional (3D) printer. Postoperative images were acquired 15 days after surgery using cone-beam computed tomography. ITK-Snap (version 3.6; Cognitica, Philadelphia, Pa) allowed the segmentation of reliable 3D models. Geomagic Qualify 2013 (3D Systems, Rock Hill, SC) and MeshValmet (version 3.0) were used to identify the differences between VSP and actual surgical results through the root mean square values and the 3D translational displacement (3-axes) of the 3D centroid of each model. RESULTS Discrepancies between the VSP and the actual result were found at the mandible (P = 0.013) and the chin (P = 0.013) when considering the root mean square values. In addition, 3D centroid differences were found in the transverse and sagittal direction of the right ramus (P = 0.034 and P = 0.005, respectively) and the sagittal aspect of the left ramus (P = 0.025). Considering 2 mm as a threshold of clinical relevance, almost all the bone fragments (maxilla, proximal, and distal mandibular segments) were accurately corrected by surgery, although not in the chin. CONCLUSIONS On the basis of the obtained values, it is possible to consider the Dolphin Imaging software as clinically acceptable for performing virtual orthognathic surgical planning.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the three-dimensional changes of the nasal septum (NS), alveolar width, alveolar cleft volume, and maxillary basal bone following rapid maxillary expansion (RME) in consecutive patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP). MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective investigation was conducted based on the analysis of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) data of 40 consecutive patients with UCLP (mean age 11.1 ± 2.2 years). Scans were acquired prior to RME (T0) and after removal of the expander (T1) before graft surgery. A three-dimensional analysis of the effects of RME on the nasal septum, alveolar width, alveolar cleft volume, and maxillary basal bone was performed. RESULTS No changes in the NS deviation were observed following RME (P > .05). Significant increases of the alveolar transverse dimension were found in the anterior (14.2%; P < .001) and posterior (7.7%; P < .001) regions as well as in the volume of the alveolar cleft (19.6%; P < .001). No changes in the basal bone dimensions and morphology were observed (P > .05). CONCLUSIONS Following RME, no changes were observed in the NS and maxillary basal bones of patients with UCLP despite the significant gain in the anterior and posterior alveolar width and the increase of the alveolar cleft defect. Clinicians should be aware that maxillary changes following RME in patients with UCLP are restricted to the dentoalveolar region.

Abstract
With the great leap in the development of three-dimensional computer-assisted surgical technology, surgeons can use a variety of assistive methods to achieve better results and evaluate surgical outcomes in detail. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the postoperative stability after bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy by volume rendering methods and to evaluate how postoperative stability differs depending on the type of surgical plate. Of the patients who underwent BSSRO, ten patients in each group (non-customized miniplate and customized miniplate) who met the inclusion criteria were selected. Preoperative and postoperative cone-beam computed tomography data were collected, and condylar morphological and landmark measurements were obtained using Checkpoint and OnDemand software, respectively. The postoperative condylar morphological dataset revealed no significant difference (p > 0.05) between the two groups. No significant difference (p > 0.05) was observed between the two groups in horizontal, vertical, or angular landmark measurements used to quantify operational stability. These results indicate that there is no difference in the surgical outcome between the patient-specific system and the conventional method, which will allow clinicians to take advantage of the patient-specific system for this surgical procedure, with favorable results, as with the conventional method.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to validate the applicability of using maxillary voxel-based dentoalveolar registration (VDAR) at long-term follow up in orthognathic surgical patients. A retrospective sample of 25 patients (skeletal class II or III) who underwent bimaxillary orthognathic surgery was recruited and divided into two groups. Group A included 15 patients (seven females, eight males, mean (SD) age 25.8 (14.4) years) with unrestored dentition and group B involved 10 patients (five females, five males, mean (SD) age: 26.2 (11.9) years) with dental restorative treatment. Postoperative cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were acquired at four time-points, one to six weeks (T1), six months (T2), one year (T3) and two years (T4). Voxel- based registration was applied using the cranial base and then complete dental segment with part of the alveolar bone at T1-T2, T1-T3 and T1-T4 time-intervals. The translational and rotational accuracy and reproducibility of the registered maxillary segment was evaluated at these three intervals by analysing the transformation matrix using singular value decomposition. All translational and rotational measurements showed excellent reliability in both groups without any significant difference. The combined translational and rotational difference was found to be within the clinically acceptable range of 2mm and 4°. The VDAR was found to be accurate and reliable to be utilised for a long-term skeletal follow-up in orthognathic surgical patients.

Differential assessment of skeletal, alveolar, and dental components induced by microimplant-supported midfacial skeletal expander (MSE), utilizing novel angular measurements from the fulcrum. Prog Orthod 2020; 21:18. [PMID: 32656601 PMCID: PMC7355053 DOI: 10.1186/s40510-020-00320-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2020] [Accepted: 05/13/2020] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background In order to assess skeletal expansion, alveolar bone bending, and dental tipping after maxillary expansion, linear and angular measurements have been performed utilizing different craniofacial references. Since the expansion with midfacial skeletal expander (MSE) is archial in nature, the aim of this paper is to quantify the differential components of MSE expansion by calculating the fulcrum locations and applying a novel angular measurement system. Methods Thirty-nine subjects with a mean age of 18.2 ± 4.2 years were treated with MSE. Pre- and post-expansion CBCT records were superimposed and compared. The rotational fulcrum of the zygomaticomaxillary complex was identified by localizing the interfrontal distance and modified interfrontal distance. Based on the fulcrum, a novel angular measurement method is presented and compared with a conventional linear method to assess changes of the zygomaticomaxillary complex, dentoalveolar bone, and maxillary first molars. Results From 39 patients, 20 subjects have the rotational fulcrum of the zygomaticomaxillary complex at the most distant points of the interfrontal distance (101.6 ± 4.7 mm) and 19 subjects at the most distant points of the modified interfrontal distance (98.9 ± 5.7 mm). Linear measurements accounted for 60.16% and 56.83% of skeletal expansion, 16.15% and 16.55% of alveolar bone bending, and 23.69% and 26.62% of dental tipping for right and left side. Angular measurements showed 96.58% and 95.44% of skeletal expansion, 0.34% and 0.33% alveolar bone bending, and 3.08% and 4.23% of dental tipping for the right and left sides. The frontozygomatic, frontoalveolar, and frontodental angles were not significant different (P > 0.05). Conclusions In the coronal plane, the center of rotation for the zygomaticomaxillary complex was located at the most external and inferior point of the zygomatic process of the frontal bone or slightly above and parallel to the interfrontal distance. Due to the rotational displacement of the zygomaticomaxillary complex, angular measurements should be a preferred method for assessing the expansion effects, instead of the traditional linear measurement method.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Maxillary impacted canines (MIC) could suffer root changes after canine traction. The aim of this study was to evaluate the 3-dimensional root changes in buccal versus palatal MIC after orthodontic traction. MATERIALS AND METHODS This longitudinal and retrospective study included pre-treatment and after traction cone beam computed tomography scans (CBCTs) of 30 subjects with unilateral/bilateral MIC. A total of 43 MIC were divided into 2 groups: buccal (n=17) or palatal (n=26). Root changes in length and area after orthodontic traction were measured at sagittal, coronal and axial sections. Intergroup comparison was carried out by t or U Mann-Whitney tests, depending on normality. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to evaluate the influence of all predictor variables on root changes (P<0.05). RESULTS Significant difference between groups was found for root area changes in the upper limit of the cervical third at axial section that showed greater appositional values for the palatal impacted canine group (-1.18mm2) and resorptive values for the buccal impacted canine group (0.62mm2) (P=0.024). Position of impaction palatal influenced the increase of root area in the coronal section and in the upper limit of the cervical third at axial section. Age directly influenced the decrease of total length and root area in sagittal and coronal sections, respectively. CONCLUSION Orthodontic traction of MIC produced an important appositional root change in the palatal impaction group in the axial root area of the upper limit of the cervical third. Impaction position and age influenced the increase and decrease of root area and length of some specific radicular regions.

Abstract
Background So far, several techniques have been recommended for the assessment of craniofacial changes through skeletal tissue superimposition, but the evidence that supports them remains unexplored. The purpose of the present study is to assess the available literature on skeletal-tissue superimpositions of serial craniofacial CT or CBCT images used to detect morphological changes. Materials and Methods Medline (via Pubmed), EMBASE, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library, Open Grey and Grey Literature Report were searched (last search: 17.11.2019) using specific terms that fulfilled the requirements of each database in the context of the study aim. Hand searches were also performed. The outcomes of interest were the accuracy, precision, or agreement between skeletal-tissue superimposition techniques to assess changes in the morphology of craniofacial structures. Studies of any design with sample size ≥3 were assessed by two authors independently. The study protocol was registered in PROSPERO (ID: CRD42019143356). Results Out of 832 studies, fifteen met the eligibility criteria. From the 15 included studies, 12 have shown high total risk of bias, one low risk of bias, and two studies have shown unclear risk of bias. Thirteen out of the 15 studies showed high applicability concerns, two unclear and no study had low applicability concerns. There was high heterogeneity among studies regarding the type of participants, sample size, growth status, machines, acquisition parameters, superimposition techniques, assessment techniques and outcomes measured. Fourteen of them were performed on Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) and one on Computed Tomography (CT) derived 3D models. Most of the studies (eleven) used voxel-based registration, one landmark-based registration and three studies compared different registration techniques, which include the surface-based registration. Concerning the area of interest, nine studies focused on the anterior cranial base and certain facial structures, four on maxillary structures and four on mandibular structures. Non-growing participants were included in six studies, growing in eight, whereas one study had both. Conclusion Most of the available studies had methodological shortcomings and high applicability concerns. At the moment, certain voxel-based and surface-based superimpositions seem to work properly and to be superior to landmark-based superimposition. However, further research in the field is required to develop and properly validate these techniques on different samples, through high quality studies with low applicability concerns.

Abstract
Background With the aid of implants, Björk identified two-dimensional mandibular stable structures in cephalograms during facial growth. However, we do not know what the three-dimensional stable structures are with certainty. The purpose of this study was to identify the most stable mandibular landmarks in growing patients using three-dimensional images. Methods The sample was comprised of two cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans taken about 4.6 years apart in 20 growing patients between the ages of 12.5 (T1) and 17.1 years (T2). After head orientation, landmarks were located on the chin (Pog), internal symphysis (Points C, D and E), and mandibular canals, which included the mental foramina (MF and MFA) and mandibular foramina (MdF). The linear distance change between Point C and these landmarks was measured on each CBCT to test stability through time. The reliability of the suggested stable landmarks was also evaluated. Results The total distance changes between Point C and points D, E, Pog, MF, and MFA were all less than 1.0 mm from T1 to T2. The reliability measures of these landmarks, which were measured by the Cronbach alpha, were above 0.94 in all three dimensions for each landmark. From T1 to T2, the distance changes from Point C to the right and left mandibular foramina were 3.39 ± 3.29 mm and 3.03 ± 2.83 mm, respectively. Conclusions During a growth period that averaged 4.6 years, ranging from 11.2 to 19.8 years old, the structures that appeared relatively stable and could be used in mandibular regional superimpositions included Pog, landmarks on the inferior part of the internal symphysis, and the mental foramen. The centers of the mandibular foramina and the starting points of the mandibular canal underwent significant changes in the transverse and sagittal dimensions.

Abstract
PURPOSE We evaluated the stability of orthognathic surgery in the treatment of unilateral condylar osteochondroma combined with jaw deformity. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with unilateral condylar osteochondroma and jaw deviation deformity who had undergone surgery at the Ninth People's Hospital of Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from July 2014 to March 2017 were enrolled. The operation included a low condylectomy and both Le Fort I osteotomy and bilateral mandibular sagittal split osteotomies. ProPlan CMF, version 1.4, software (Materialise, Leuven, Belgium) was used to reconstruct and measure the preoperative, immediately postoperative, and follow-up (>6 months) maxillofacial computed tomography images. The position of the jaw and contralateral condyle and remodeling of the affected side were compared during follow-up. RESULTS Eight patients were included in the present study. The canting of the maxilla was significantly decreased postoperatively, and the contralateral condyle had rotated inward. The position of the maxillary and contralateral condyles was stable during follow-up, and the posterior aspect of the affected condyle demonstrated significant resorption. CONCLUSIONS The results of single-stage surgery combined with orthognathic surgery and condylar osteochondroma resection were stable, and the affected condyle stump had adaptively reconstructed.

Abstract
Objective To propose a three-dimensional (3D) method for evaluating temporomandibular joint (TMJ) changes during Twin-block treatment. Methods Seventeen patients with Class II division 1 malocclusion treated using Twin-block and nine untreated patients with a similar malocclusion were included in this research. We collected their cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) data from before and 8 months after treatment. Segmentations were constructed using ITK-SNAP. Condylar volume and superficial area were measured using 3D Slicer. The 3D landmarks were identified on CBCT images by using Dolphin software to assess the condylar positional relationship. 3D models of the mandible and glenoid fossa of the patients were constructed and registered via voxel-based superimposition using 3D Slicer. Thereafter, skeletal changes could be visualized using 3DMeshMetric in any direction of the superimposition on a color-coded map. All the superimpositions were measured using the same scale on the distance color-coded map, in which red color represents overgrowth and blue color represents resorption. Results Significant differences were observed in condylar volume, superficial area, and condylar position in both groups after 8 months. Compared with the control group (CG), the Twin-block group exhibited more obvious condyle-fossa modifications and joint positional changes. Moreover, on the color-coded map, more obvious condyle-fossa modifications could be observed in the posterior and superior directions in the Twin-block group than in the CG. Conclusions We successfully established a 3D method for measuring and evaluating TMJ changes caused by Twin-block treatment. The treatment produced a larger condylar size and caused condylar positional changes.

Abstract
Background Miniscrews have been used to superimpose three-dimensional (3D) craniofacial images as well as explore stable structures in jaws. Our purpose was to evaluate the reliability and validity of linear and angular measurements made with miniscrews on a 3D cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) at two voxel sizes and compared to models created by an intraoral scanner (IOS). Methods Altogether, 64 miniscrews were placed in 12 goat jaws. The jaws were scanned by CBCT machine at 0.12 mm and 0.3 mm voxels and by the IOS. Linear and angular measurements between miniscrews on CBCT at the two voxel settings and the IOS were compared with actual measurements and with each other. Results An intra-and inter-class correlation of 0.961–1.000 were obtained by each method. Linear measurements showed significant overestimations of 0.27 ± 0.24, 0.14 ± 0.22 and 0.15 ± 0.26 mm, and angular measurements showed non-significant differences of 0.11 ± 1.97°, 0.15 ± 2.79° and 0.41 ± 2.34° for the CBCT at 0.12-mm, 0.3-mm voxels and the IOS, respectively. Equal magnification of linear measurements was on homolateral and contralateral sides using CBCT, whereas significantly greater magnification on the homolateral side than on the opposite was observed using the IOS. There was no significant difference with angular measurements between digital CBCT models at two voxels and IOS. In addition, all angular measurements were comparable to actual measurement results. Conclusions Miniscrews in CBCT and IOS are reliable and clinical valid when used as a reference measuring tooth movement. However, when miniscrews are involved in high precision measurement in CBCT or IOS image, systematic error should be taken into consideration. When comparing CBCT images, using the same voxel size is recommended for miniscrew related measurements to reduce error.

Abstract
Clinical applications of 3D image registration and superimposition have contributed to better understanding growth changes and clinical outcomes. The use of 3D dental and craniofacial imaging in dentistry requires validate image analysis methods for improved diagnosis, treatment planning, navigation and assessment of treatment response. Volumetric 3D images, such as cone-beam computed tomography, can now be superimposed by voxels, surfaces or landmarks. Regardless of the image modality or the software tools, the concepts of regions or points of reference affect all quantitative of qualitative assessments. This study reviews current state of the art in 3D image analysis including 3D superimpositions relative to the cranial base and different regional superimpositions, the development of open source and commercial tools for 3D analysis, how this technology has increased clinical research collaborations from centres all around the globe, some insight on how to incorporate artificial intelligence for big data analysis and progress towards personalized orthodontics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To test the reliability and reproducibility of a fast and user-friendly voxel-based 3D superimposition method and the effect of bone segmentation on its outcomes. SETTING AND SAMPLE POPULATION This prospective methodological study assessed 15 pairs of pre-existing serial CBCT images (interval: 1.69 ± 0.37 years) obtained from growing patients (initial age: 11.75 ± 0.59 years). MATERIALS AND METHODS Volumes were superimposed on the anterior cranial base using Dolphin 3D software. Reliability was assessed visually, by inspecting the overlap of the superimposition reference structures. Reproducibility was tested with intra- and inter-operator comparisons of superimposition outcomes. RESULTS The method presented good reliability in all cases. The median differences between intra- and inter-operator comparisons at various tested areas ranged from 0.06 to 0.16 mm and from 0.15 to 0.24 mm, respectively. In few individual cases, differences exceeded 0.5 mm. There was no evidence that the error increased upon increase in the magnitude of the detected T0-T1 changes. However, the superimposition error increased when the distance between the measurement area and the superimposition reference also increased. For a single image, the median error of bone surface segmentation ranged in different areas between 0.05 and 0.12 mm, with few exceptions where it slightly exceeded 0.25 mm. CONCLUSIONS The tested voxel-based superimposition method presented good efficiency, cranial base matching and reproducibility in a growing patient sample. Segmentation error was considered minimal. The total error reached clinically relevant levels in very few cases. Thus, this technique is considered appropriate for clinical use, when 3D assessment of craniofacial changes is required.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of changing kVp, mA, and voxel size on the accuracy of voxel-based superimposition on the anterior cranial base. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were taken on a phantom skull using different kVp, mA, and voxel size combinations. CBCT scans were superimposed using commercially available software. Two separate open-source software programs were used to generate a three-dimensional (3D) color map objective assessment of the differences in seven different regions: Nasion, Point A, Zygomatic (right and left), Point B, and Gonial (right and left). Each region had around 200 points that were used to calculate the mean differences between the superimpositions. RESULTS Intraclass correlation showed excellent reliability (0.95). Lowering the kVp made the biggest difference, showing an average discrepancy of 0.7 ± 0.3 mm, and a high mean of 1.4 ± 0.3 in the Right Gonial region. Lowering the mA showed less of a discrepancy, with an average of 0.373 ± 0.2 mm, and the highest discrepancy, also on the Right Gonial Area, of 0.7 ± 0.1 mm. The voxel size had the least impact on the accuracy of registered volumes, with mean discrepancy values of less than 0.2 mm. CONCLUSIONS Using different CBCT settings can affect the accuracy of the voxel-based superimposition method. This is particularly the case when using low kVp values, while changes in mA or voxel sizes did not significantly interfere with the superimposition outcome.

Abstract
Unlike patients receiving implants or endodontic treatment, most orthodontic patients are children who are particularly sensitive to ionizing radiation. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) carries risks and benefits in orthodontics. The principal risks and limitations include ionizing radiation, the presence of artifacts, higher cost, limited accessibility, and the need for additional training. However, this imaging modality has several recognized indications in orthodontics, such as the assessment of impacted and ectopic teeth, assessment of pharyngeal airway, assessment of mini-implant sites, evaluation of craniofacial abnormalities, evaluation of sinus anatomy or pathology, evaluation of root resorption, evaluation of the cortical bone plate, and orthognathic surgery planning and evaluation. CBCT is particularly justified when it brings a benefit to the patient or changes the outcome of the treatment when compared with conventional imaging techniques. Therefore, CBCT should be considered for clinical orthodontics for selected patients. Prescription of CBCT requires judicious and sound clinical judgment. The central question of this narrative review article is: when does CBCT add value to the practice of orthodontics? To answer this question, this article presents discussion on radiation dosage of CBCT and other imaging techniques used in orthodontics, limitations of CBCT in orthodontics, justifying the use of CBCT in orthodontics, and the benefits and evidence-based indications of CBCT in orthodontics. This review summarizes the central themes and topics in the literature regarding CBCT in orthodontics and presents ten orthodontic cases in which CBCT proved to be valuable.

Comparison of condylar morphology changes and position stability following unilateral and bilateral sagittal split mandibular ramus osteotomy in patients with mandibular prognathism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Unilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (USSRO) is not widely used given the postoperative instability caused by the inevitable rotation of the mandibular segment during surgery. However, the influence of mandibular movement on the condylar morphology and position stability has not been completely explored. The aim of the study was to quantitatively evaluate the effect of USSRO on the condylar surface morphology changes and postoperative stability in patients with mandibular lateral prognathism and compare these findings with the classic bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO). PATIENTS/METHODS This was a retrospective study involving 134 patients with mandibular lateral prognathism who received USSRO (n = 56) and BSSRO (n = 78) surgery. Here, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was performed before surgery (T0), immediately after surgery (T1), and 1 year postoperatively (T2). Differences of condylar sizes, condylar surface deviation, and mandibular positioning parameters (dental midline deviation, SNB, SN-MP) were calculated from T0 to T2. Comparisons were performed at the deviated side or nondeviated side of condyles between the USSRO and BSSRO groups. The relation between the dental midline deviation and condylar surface morphology changes from T0 to T2 were investigated. RESULTS Condylar surface morphology changes at the deviated side of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) before and 1 year after the surgery were significantly different between the USSRO and BSSRO groups. The dental midline deviation was related to the changes of condylar volume, surface size and surface deviation at the deviated side of TMJ in patients following USSRO. No significant difference was noted between the USSRO and BSSRO groups for postoperative condylar surface morphology changes at the nondeviated side. In both groups, significant differences between T0 and T1 and no significant difference between T1 and T2 were noted for all of the mandibular positioning parameters. CONCLUSIONS Both BSSRO and USSRO exhibit favorable postoperative stability in the correction of mandibular prognathism. After USSRO surgery, condylar surface changes occurred at the deviated side of the TMJ, and the dental midline deviation was closely related to the changes of condylar surface morphology. USSRO represents a stable alternative for minor asymmetric mandibular prognathism correction with the advantages of reduced operating time and surgical trauma.

Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications have already invaded our everyday life, and the last 10 years have seen the emergence of very promising applications in the field of medicine. However, the literature dealing with the potential applications of IA in Orthognathic Surgery is remarkably poor to date. Yet, it is very likely that due to its amazing power in image recognition AI will find tremendous applications in dento-facial deformities recognition in a near future. In this article, we point out the state-of-the-art AI applications in medicine and its potential applications in the field of orthognathic surgery. AI is a very powerful tool and it is the responsibility of the entire medical profession to achieve a positive symbiosis between clinical sense and AI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate three-dimensional (3D) craniofacial changes induced by a non-surgical tooth-bone-borne rapid palatal expander (TBB-RPE) according to the symmetrical pattern of expansion, to investigate the 3D changes between the sides in patients with asymmetric expansion, and to identify the related factors of asymmetric expansion. SETTING AND SAMPLE POPULATION Sixty-six patients (mean age: 19.3 ± 5.7 years) treated with TBB-RPE were divided into a symmetric expansion group (Group S, n = 46) or asymmetric expansion group (Group A, n = 20). Group S was subdivided into Group Ss (n = 27), with bilateral frontomaxillary suture (FMS) split, and Group Sn (n = 19), with no FMS split. MATERIALS AND METHODS Pre- and post-expansion cone-beam computed tomography images were superimposed, and the common coordinated system was set. All landmarks were designated as coordinate pairs, and treatment changes were automatically calculated. Analysis of variance was conducted for intergroup comparison of craniofacial changes, and logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the related factors of asymmetric expansion. RESULTS The frequency of asymmetric expansion was 30.3%. Group A with unilateral FMS split showed less craniofacial changes than Group Ss and more changes than Group Sn. Group A exhibited different nasomaxillary displacement between the two halves, showing greater changes in the FMS-split side. Among the tested six variables (age, gender, Angle's classification, unilateral crossbite, maxillary cant and chin deviation), chin deviation was uniquely associated with asymmetric expansion. CONCLUSIONS Tooth-bone-borne rapid palatal expander had a risk of asymmetric expansion, especially in facial asymmetric patients with chin deviation, producing different craniofacial changes from symmetric expansion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE (a) To evaluate intra- and inter-observer reliability in landmarks placement along the three planes of space on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) data sets; (b) To evaluate whether the reliability of each landmark differs in CBCT scans characterized by two different voxel dimension and quality. SETTING AND SAMPLE POPULATION A total of 84 scans were used in this study: 49 scans were taken with the NewTom 3G, and 35 scans were taken with the NewTom 5G. The scans were characterized by an isotropic voxel dimension of 0.36 and 0.30 mm for the NewTom 3G and the NewTom 5G, respectively. METHODS A total of 13 landmarks were placed according to the corresponding definitions in 3D, also presented in this study: Foramen Spinosum (R/L), Nasion, Sella, Gonion (R/L), Pogonion, Menton, A point, Anterior nasal spine, Posterior nasal spine, Basion, Cribriform Plate (CR). Intra- and inter-observer reliability and Intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC) ICC for landmarks identification were assessed. Five reference and registration planes based on the above-mentioned landmarks were also presented. RESULTS ICC both for the intra- and inter-observer measurements had a score larger than 0.9 in all directions, except in the sagittal direction for CR. Regarding intra- and inter-observer reliability, only N, S, and Ba scored well in all directions. CONCLUSIONS Most of the landmarks analysed displayed a high reliability along at least 2 directions. The choice of landmarks to define registration and superimposition planes must be carefully selected, as the reliability of these planes is inherited from the one of the landmarks defining them.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The root resorption of the maxillary incisors after the orthodontic traction of impacted canines is a concern for clinicians. The aim of this case series report was to evaluate the root resorption of the maxillary incisors after traction until the occlusal plane of the bicortically impacted canines (placed between the two cortical bones in the middle of the alveolar process) located in a complex position using three-dimensional superimposition. This case series report describes the root resorption of the maxillary incisors after orthodontic traction with NiTi closed coil springs and a heavy anchorage appliance in three cases of bilateral impacted canines located in a complex position (bicortically) near to midline. Cone-beam computed tomographies (CBCTs) were obtained before and after traction. Root resorption in all root surfaces of the maxillary incisors was evaluated with color-coded maps using the ITK-SNAP and the 3D Slicer software to indicate loss of the root surface (in red) or gain of the surface (in blue) and was quantified in millimeters by the superimposition method. RESULTS The root changes mainly occurred in the apical third of the maxillary incisor root and did not exceed 2 mm. CONCLUSIONS Root resorption of the maxillary incisors after the traction of bicortically impacted canines located in a complex position was observed mainly in the apex region, and the amount of root resorption was smaller than 2 mm in all root surfaces.

Abstract
Objective This study was performed to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of a newly designed method to achieve mandibular dental model superimposition, using voxel-based cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) registration. Methods Fourteen dry cadaveric mandibles and six teeth extracted from patients with severe periodontitis were used to establish 14 orthodontic tooth-movement models. The protocol consisted of two steps: in the first step, voxel-based CBCT mandible superimposition was performed; the reference comprised the external portion of the symphysis, extending to the first molar. The laser-scanned dental model image was then integrated with the CBCT image to achieve mandibular dental model superimposition. The entire process required approximately 10 minutes. Six landmarks were assigned to the teeth to measure tooth displacement, using tooth displacement on the superimposed laser-scanned mandibles as the reference standard. Accuracy was evaluated by comparing differences in tooth displacement based on the method and the reference standard. Two observers performed superimposition to evaluate reliability. Results For three-dimensional tooth displacements, the differences between the method and the reference standard were not significant in the molar, premolar, or incisor groups (p > 0.05). The intraclass correlation coefficients for the inter- and intra-observer reliabilities of all measurements were > 0.92. Conclusions Our method of mandibular dental model superimposition based on voxel registration is accurate, reliable, and can be performed within a reasonable period of time in vitro, demonstrating a potential for use in orthodontic patients.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to quantify three-dimensional condylar displacements as a result of two-jaw surgery for open bite correction in patients with skeletal class II and class III malocclusion. Pre-surgical (T1) and post-surgical (T2) cone beam computed tomography scans were taken for 16 patients with skeletal class II (mean age 22.3±9.47years) and 14 patients with skeletal class III (mean age 25.6±6.27years). T2 scans were registered to T1 scans at the cranial base. Translational and rotational condylar changes were calculated by x,y,z coordinates of corresponding landmarks. The directions and amounts of condylar displacement were assessed by intra- and inter-class Mann-Whitney U-test or t-test. Class II patients presented significantly greater amounts of lateral (P=0.002) and inferior (P=0.038) translation than class III patients. The magnitudes of condylar translational displacements were small for both groups. Skeletal class III patients had predominantly medial (P=0.024) and superior (P=0.047) condylar translation. Skeletal class II patients presented greater condylar counterclockwise pitch (P=0.007) than class III patients. Two-jaw surgery for the correction of open bite led to different directions and amounts of condylar rotational displacement in patients with skeletal class II compared to class III malocclusion, with greater rotational than translational displacements.

Abstract
Background Reproducible and descriptive Three-dimensional treatment evaluation can enhance future treatment based on realistic results. So, the purpose of this study was to describe a new method for three-dimensional treatment evaluation showing how to use fully-automated craniofacial superimposition of CBCT records combined with reference system to obtain descriptive and comparable results. This new method was named United Reference Method (URM). Methods URM is a combination of automated 3D superimposition on anterior cranial base surface anatomy and measurements based on reference system. It was developed to show how to use fully-automated superimposition to obtain descriptive numerical comparable values. The method is based on: one main reference system for both superimposed CBCT records, semi-automation to increase accuracy, all measurements are projections and auxiliary references to aid in landmarks identification and measurements. The method steps can be described following a four-step approach: (1) Superimposition performed through a fully automated, voxel-wise, rigid registration considering only cranial base as a stable structure; (2) Identification of reference landmarks once on the superimposed records for corrected Frankfort Horizontal plane (C-FH) construction and a new semi-automated constructed Sella point to correct Orbital asymmetry; (3) Head orientation of superimposed CBCT images based on the C-FH; (4) Identification of landmarks affected by treatment with the aid of auxiliary reference planes. Evaluation of linear or angular changes derived by projection of same pre- and post-treatment landmarks on the C-FH. Pre- and post-expansion CBCT scans of 20 unilateral cleft lip and palate patients were used to calculate intra and inter-rater reliability. (X, Y and Z) coordinates, mean, standard deviation (SD) and Intra-class Correlation Coefficient (ICC) were calculated. Results The proposed coordinates for C-FH construction showed ICC ≥ 0.998 and SD ranging from 0.064 to 0.242 mm. On the other hand, excluded coordinates due to expected natural craniofacial asymmetry had the lowest reliability ICC ≥0.742 and SD dramatically increased up to 1.112 mm. Conclusion URM showed adequate reliability so it can be used to produce three-dimensional descriptive data of craniofacial structural changes.

Abstract
Background Miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) has been adopted in recent years to expand the maxilla in late adolescence and adult patients. Maxillary Skeletal Expander (MSE) is a device that exploits the principles of skeletal anchorage to transmit the expansion force directly to the maxillary bony structures and is characterized by the miniscrews’ engagement of the palatal and nasal cortical bone layers. In the literature, it has been reported that the zygomatic buttress is a major constraint that hampers the lateral movement of maxilla, since maxilla is located medially to the zygomatic arches. The objective of the present study is to analyze the changes in the zygomatic bone, maxillary bone, and zygomatic arches and to localize the center of rotation for the zygomaticomaxillary complex in the horizontal plane after treatment with MSE, using high-resolution cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. Methods Fifteen subjects with a mean age of 17.2 (± 4.2) years were treated with MSE. CBCT records were taken before and after miniscrew-assisted maxillary expansion; three linear and four angular parameters were identified in the axial zygomatic section (AZS) and were compared from pre-treatment to post-treatment using the Wilcoxon signed rank test. Results Anterior inter-maxillary distance increased by 2.8 mm, posterior inter-zygomatic distance by 2.4 mm, angle of the zygomatic process of the temporal bone by 1.7° and 2.1° (right and left side) (P < 0.01). Changes in posterior inter-temporal distance and zygomaticotemporal angle were negligible (P > 0.05). Conclusions In the horizontal plane, the maxillary and zygomatic bones and the whole zygomatic arch were significantly displaced in a lateral direction after treatment with MSE. The center of rotation for the zygomaticomaxillary complex was located near the proximal portion of the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, more posteriorly and more laterally than what has been reported in the literature for tooth-borne expanders. Bone bending takes place in the zygomatic process of the temporal bone during miniscrew-supported maxillary expansion.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To identify changes in the adolescent mandibular canal (MC) using cone-beam computer tomography (CBCT) by locating three-dimensional (3D) anatomical landmarks in the mandible for later growth and treatment applications. METHODS Two CBCT images taken 1.5-2 years apart for 50 patients (ages 11-17) were landmarked using AVIZO®. Six core landmarks were placed relative to the right and left MCs. Three-dimensional coordinates (x, y, z) were obtained. Average distances between paired landmarks were measured using a paired samples t-test. Mean distance differences <1.50mm were determined clinically insignificant and stable. To determine landmark position consistency, repeat CBCTs from 11 patients were landmarked three times one week apart. Coordinates were determined and intra-class correlation coefficient statistics (ICC), mean error difference and confidence intervals were measured. RESULTS X and y-coordinates had an internal consistency of 1.00. Z-coordinates had a consistency of 0.995 or higher. Measurement error was <1mm. The largest mean distance change was 2.25mm±3.06mm between the right mandibular foramen and the landmark directly on the right canal, closest to the mesial root of the first molar. The smallest mean distance change was <0.01mm±1.7mm between the right and left mental foramina. Additionally, the bilateral mandibular foramina, bilateral distal and mesial roots of the first molar, and bilateral regions on the MC inferior to both distal and mesial roots of the first molar were stable. CONCLUSION All landmarks were determined reliable. The region between the right and left mental foramina was found most stable for this time period in adolescents.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Our objectives were to evaluate midfacial skeletal changes in the coronal plane and the implications of circummaxillary sutures and to localize the center of rotation for the zygomaticomaxillary complex after therapy with a bone-anchored maxillary expander, using high-resolution cone-beam computed tomography. METHODS Fifteen subjects with a mean age of 17.2 ± 4.2 years were treated with a bone-anchored maxillary expander. Pretreatment and posttreatment cone-beam computed tomography images were superimposed and examined for comparison. RESULTS Upper interzygomatic distance increased by 0.5 mm, lower interzygomatic distance increased by 4.6 mm, frontozygomatic angles increased by 2.5° and 2.9° (right and left sides), maxillary inclinations increased by 2.0° and 2.5° (right and left sides), and intermolar distance increased by 8.3 mm (P <0.05). Changes in frontoethmoidal, zygomaticomaxillary, and molar basal bone angles were negligible (P >0.05). CONCLUSIONS A significant lateral displacement of the zygomaticomaxillary complex occurred in late adolescent patients treated with a bone-anchored maxillary expander. The zygomatic bone tended to rotate outward along with the maxilla with a common center of rotation located near the superior aspect of the frontozygomatic suture. Dental tipping of the molars was negligible during treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In this study, we quantitatively assessed 3-dimensional condylar displacement during counterclockwise maxillomandibular advancement surgery (CMMA) with or without articular disc repositioning, focusing on surgical stability in the follow-up period. METHODS The 79 patients treated with CMMA had cone-beam computed tomography scans taken before surgery, immediately after surgery, and, on average, 15 months postsurgery. We divided the 142 condyles into 3 groups: group 1 (n = 105), condyles of patients diagnosed with symptomatic presurgical temporomandibular joint articular disc displacement who had articular disc repositioning concomitantly with CMMA; group 2 (n = 23), condyles of patients with clinical verification of presurgical articular disc displacement who had only CMMA; and group 3 (n = 14), condyles of patients with healthy temporomandibular joints who had CMMA. Presurgical and postsurgical 3-dimensional models were superimposed using voxel-based registration on the cranial base. Three-dimensional cephalometrics and shape correspondence were applied to assess surgical and postsurgical displacement changes. RESULTS Immediately after surgery, the condyles moved mostly backward and medially and experienced lateral yaw, medial roll, and upward pitch in the 3 groups. Condyles in group 1 showed downward displacement, whereas the condyles moved upward in groups 2 and 3 (P ≤0.001). Although condylar displacement changes occurred in the 3 groups, the overall surgical procedure appeared to be fairly stable, particularly for groups 1 and 3. Group 2 had the greatest amount of relapse (P ≤0.05). CONCLUSIONS CMMA has been shown to be a stable procedure for patients with healthy temporomandibular joints and for those who had simultaneous articular disc repositioning surgery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This pilot study had as main objective to test the reliability of a new method to evaluate orthognathic surgery outcomes and also, to understand the effect of hard tissue changes on soft tissue displacement. METHODS The sample consisted of eight patients that underwent bimaxillary advancement and had CBCT at two time points (before surgery and 6-8 months follow-up). Voxel-based cranial base superimposition was used to register the scans. A different technique of iterative closest point (ICP) was used to measure and correlate the changes. The average displacement of 15 areas (4 hard tissue and 11 soft tissue) were measured twice. RESULTS ICC was > 0.99 for all areas. Changes in the tip of the nose did not correlate with changes in any maxillary area, whereas soft tissue A point, A point and upper lips had correlation with several areas. The highest correlation for the maxilla was between the upper lip and the left/right supra cheilion (p< 0.001, r= 0.91 and p< 0.001, r= 0.93, respectively). In the mandible, the majority of the correlations involved soft tissue pogonion, pogonion and lower incisors, with the strongest one between pogonion and lower incisors (p< 0.001, r= 0.98). CONCLUSION With the proper case selection, ICP is a reliable method that can be used to assess three-dimensional changes.

Abstract
This study was designed to introduce and evaluate the clinical use of a surgical guide and a CAD/CAM prebent titanium plate for sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) in the correction of mandibular prognathism. We studied 14 patients who had been diagnosed, and treated by bilateral SSRO with the guide, during the period July 2015-January 2016. Surface deviations of distal segments from simulation until the end of the operation were measured on a coloured map. Deviations of position and orientation of the condyle and proximal segment from before to after operation, and those from simulation until the end of the operation, were measured with a 3-dimensional vector. All patients were followed up for at least a year. The coloured map showed that the mean (SD) distances were 0.40 (0.25)mm between the simulated and postoperative distal segments. The 3-dimensional vector showed that the mean values of mediolateral, anteroposterior, and superior-inferior translations of the condyles were less than 1mm (p<0.02) from before the operation until the end, and from simulation to the end of the operation, and the mean value of pitching for proximal segments was less than 1° (p<0.02) from simulation to the end of the operation. At the one year follow-up, the occlusions were stable. Based on accurate diagnosis and simulation, this guide takes the distal segment precisely to its planned position, and the condyle and proximal segment are well-controlled. This is a useful tool, which is comparatively easy to make and operate.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES A method was introduced for three-dimensional (3D) cone-beamCT (CBCT) images registration of temporomandibular joint (TMJ). This study aimed to provide quantitative and qualitative analysis of TMJ bone changes in two-dimensional (2D) and 3D and to provide the technique for computer-aided diagnosis of temporomandibular joint disorders in the future. METHODS 10 TMJ samples of six patients were obtained from Peking University Hospital of Stomatology. Four of the six patients imaged bilateral TMJs and the other two patients only imaged unilateral TMJ. Each sample consisted of two images from the same TMJ taken at different times. First, condyle and skull base were segmented semi-automatically for 3D model reconstruction. Then the segmented condyle and skull base were registered separately. Registration process can be divided into two processes of rough registration and fine registration. Rough registration step was achieved by selecting corresponding points manually and initialized fine registration. Condyle and skull base were fine registered by minimizing mean square error of condyle (MSEcondyle) and skull base (MSEskull) respectively. Qualitative assessment of osseous component changes utilized 2D color-fused model and 3D surface-fused model and quantitative analyses the convergence of this method used the mean square error of the model (MSEmodel). Independent repeated experiments were carried out to test the stability of our 3D registration method. RESULTS Sufficiently alignment was achieved. Osseous abnormality and morphology changes were displayed using fusion model. MSEmodel of condylar registration and skull base registration declined 51.80% and 64.58% compared with that before registration. Quantitative analysis verified the stability of the method. CONCLUSIONS The proposed method completed 3D TMJ registration for different physiological structure. The result of this method was accurate, reproducible and not relied on the experience of operators.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to develop a reproducible method to measure the change of palatal volume and area through superimposition using maxillary expansion digital cast models. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 10 pre- and 10 postexpansion dental cast models were scanned by the same cone-beam computed tomography machine. Superimposition was performed using a fully automated surface-best fit of the palatal surfaces on the digital cast models. A gingival plane, identified only once on superimposed casts, and a distal plane with the lateral closing border and the palatal surface were used to localize this selection of air. Area and volume were calculated for pre- and postexpansion records. Pre- and postexpansion palatal volume and area were measured by the main investigator and three different observers for inter- and intra-observer reproducibility assessment. RESULTS The level of intra- and inter-observer agreement was very strong (intraclass correlation coefficients ≥ 0.953; P value < .0001) for all measurements. CONCLUSIONS Palatal volume and area measurements based on the proposed superimposition are reproducible and can be used reliably.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to examine changes in registration accuracy after including occlusal surface and incisal edge areas in addition to the buccal surface when integrating laser-scanned and maxillofacial cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) dental images. METHODS CBCT scans and maxillary dental casts were obtained from 30 patients. Three methods were used to integrate the images: R1, only the buccal and labial surfaces were used; R2, the incisal edges of the anterior teeth and the buccal and distal marginal ridges of the second molars were used; and R3, labial surfaces, including incisal edges of anterior teeth, and buccal surfaces, including buccal and distal marginal ridges of the second molars, were used. Differences between the 2 images were evaluated by color-mapping methods and average surface distances by measuring the 3-dimensional Euclidean distances between the surface points on the 2 images. RESULTS The R1 method showed more discrepancies between the laser-scanned and CBCT images than did the other methods. The R2 method did not show a significant difference in registration accuracy compared with the R3 method. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study indicate that accuracy when integrating laser-scanned dental images into maxillofacial CBCT images can be increased by including occlusal surface and incisal edge areas as registration areas.

Abstract
The introduction of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) devices, changed the way oral and maxillofacial radiology is practiced. CBCT was embraced into the dental settings very rapidly due to its compact size, low cost, low ionizing radiation exposure when compared to medical computed tomography. Alike medical CT, 3 dimensional evaluation of the maxillofacial region with minimal distortion is offered by the CBCT. This article provides an overview of basics of CBCT technology and reviews the specific application of CBCT technology to oral and maxillofacial region with few illustrations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this systematic review was to synthesize the available literature concerning the reliability of three-dimensional superimposition methods when assessing changes in craniofacial hard tissues. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four electronic databases were searched. Two authors independently reviewed potentially relevant articles for eligibility. Clinical trials, cohort, case-control, and cross-sectional studies that evaluated the reliability of three-dimensional superimposition methods on the anterior cranial base were included. RESULTS Six studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Four studies used the voxel-based registration method, one used the landmark-based method and one used the surface-based method. Regarding reliability, the voxel-based studies showed on average a difference of 0.5 mm or less between images. The optimized analysis using a six-point correction algorithm in the landmark-based method showed 1.24 mm magnitude of error between images. CONCLUSIONS Although reliability appears to be adequate, the small sample size and high risk of bias among studies make available evidence still insufficient to draw strong conclusions.

Abstract
This study evaluated the effects of proximal segment rotation and the extent of mandibular setback on post-sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) relapse using three-dimensional (3D) analysis. Thirty-one patients diagnosed with a skeletal class III malocclusion who underwent SSRO alone were enrolled in this study. The movements of the mandibular condyles were assessed using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and a 3D imaging program at ≤1 month before the operation (T0), 1 week after the operation (T1), and 6 months (T2) and 1year (T3) postoperative. Yaw and roll were increased at T1 as compared to T0. However, the proximal segments reverted to their original positions between T2 and T3. There was a positive correlation between the extent of the posterior movement of the mandible and relapse at 6 months and 1year postoperative. Although the proximal bone segments showed displacement in three dimensions at T1, they reverted to their original positions over time. In addition, although there was a positive correlation between the extent of the posterior movement of the mandible and the occurrence of post-surgical relapse at 6 months and 1year post-surgery, the rotation of the proximal bone segment during surgery had no relationship with postoperative relapse.

Changes in the midpalatal and pterygopalatine sutures induced by micro-implant-supported skeletal expander, analyzed with a novel 3D method based on CBCT imaging. Prog Orthod 2017; 18:34. [PMID: 29090368 PMCID: PMC5663987 DOI: 10.1186/s40510-017-0188-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 75] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2017] [Accepted: 09/03/2017] [Indexed: 12/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Mini-implant-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) appliances have been developed with the aim to enhance the orthopedic effect induced by rapid maxillary expansion (RME). Maxillary Skeletal Expander (MSE) is a particular type of MARPE appliance characterized by the presence of four mini-implants positioned in the posterior part of the palate with bi-cortical engagement. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the MSE effects on the midpalatal and pterygopalatine sutures in late adolescents, using high-resolution CBCT. Specific aims are to define the magnitude and sagittal parallelism of midpalatal suture opening, to measure the extent of transverse asymmetry of split, and to illustrate the possibility of splitting the pterygopalatine suture. Methods Fifteen subjects (mean age of 17.2 years; range, 13.9–26.2 years) were treated with MSE. Pre- and post-treatment CBCT exams were taken and superimposed. A novel methodology based on three new reference planes was utilized to analyze the sutural changes. Parameters were compared from pre- to post-treatment and between genders non-parametrically using the Wilcoxon sign rank test. For the frequency of openings in the lower part of the pterygopalatine suture, the Fisher’s exact test was used. Results Regarding the magnitude of midpalatal suture opening, the split at anterior nasal spine (ANS) and at posterior nasal spine (PNS) was 4.8 and 4.3 mm, respectively. The amount of split at PNS was 90% of that at ANS, showing that the opening of the midpalatal suture was almost perfectly parallel antero-posteriorly. On average, one half of the anterior nasal spine (ANS) moved more than the contralateral one by 1.1 mm. Openings between the lateral and medial plates of the pterygoid process were detectable in 53% of the sutures (P < 0.05). No significant differences were found in the magnitude and frequency of suture opening between males and females. Correlation between age and suture opening was negligible (R2 range, 0.3–4.2%). Conclusions Midpalatal suture was successfully split by MSE in late adolescents, and the opening was almost perfectly parallel in a sagittal direction. Regarding the extent of transverse asymmetry of the split, on average one half of ANS moved more than the contralateral one by 1.1 mm. Pterygopalatine suture was split in its lower region by MSE, as the pyramidal process was pulled out from the pterygoid process. Patient gender and age had a negligible influence on suture opening for the age group considered in the study.
