To assess the correlation of factors of WHARFE assessment and Pederson difficulty index for impacted mandibular third molar surgery.
A comparative study of difficult factors utilizing Pederson WHARFE and WAR lines was performed involving patients undergoing surgical removal of mandibular third molars for 100 such teeth.
The Spearman's rho correlation run to determine the relationship between Pederson difficulty index and WHARFE assessment values showed a strong, positive monotonic correlation at the 0.05 level (2-tailed; s = 0.242, = 100, = 0.015 < 0.05).
The study has revealed WHARFE assessment to be a more reliable and consistent measure for the radiological evaluation of surgical difficulty over the contemporary Pederson difficulty index.
评估用于下颌阻生第三磨牙手术的WHARFE评估因素与佩德森难度指数之间的相关性。
对100颗下颌第三磨牙接受手术拔除的患者,利用佩德森WHARFE和WAR线对困难因素进行了一项比较研究。
为确定佩德森难度指数与WHARFE评估值之间的关系而进行的斯皮尔曼等级相关分析显示,在0.05水平(双侧;s = 0.242,n = 100,p = 0.015 < 0.05)存在强的正单调相关性。
该研究表明,与当代的佩德森难度指数相比,WHARFE评估对于手术难度的影像学评估是一种更可靠且一致的测量方法。
