Abstract EN
Aim.
This study aimed to evaluate the reliability of 3D-TMT, previously used only for dynamic testing, in a static cephalometric evaluation.
Material and Method.
A group of 40 patients (20 males and 20 females; mean age 14.2±1.2 years; 12–18 years old) was included in the study.
The measurements obtained by the 3D-TMT cephalometric analysis with a conventional frontal cephalometric analysis were compared for each subject.
Nine passive markers reflectors were positioned on the face skin for the detection of the profile of the patient.
Through the acquisition of these points, corresponding plans for three-dimensional posterior-anterior cephalometric analysis were found.
Results.
The cephalometric results carried out with 3D-TMT and with traditional posterior-anterior cephalometric analysis showed the 3D-TMT system values are slightly higher than the values measured on radiographs but statistically significant; nevertheless their correlation is very high.
Conclusion.
The recorded values obtained using the 3D-TMT analysis were correlated to cephalometric analysis, with small but statistically significant differences.
The Dahlberg errors resulted to be always lower than the mean difference between the 2D and 3D measurements.
A clinician should use, during the clinical monitoring of a patient, always the same method, to avoid comparing different millimeter magnitudes.
