Abstract

The aim of this study is to provide a novel method to perform Enlow's neutral track analysis on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. Eighteen CBCT images of skeletal Class I (ANB = 2° ± 2°) subjects (12 males and 6 females, aged from 9 to 19 years) with no history of previous orthodontic treatment were selected. For each subject, 2D Enlow's neutral track analysis was performed on lateral cephalograms extracted from CBCT images and 3D neutral track analysis was performed on CBCT images. A Student's -test did not show any statistically significant difference between the 2D and 3D measurements and therefore the method proposed by this study to realize the neutral track analysis on 3D images is valid and superimposable on that described by Enlow on lateral cephalograms. Further studies with a large sample and different skeletal class subjects are needed to confirm the results of this research.

摘要

本研究的目的是提供一种在锥形束计算机断层扫描（CBCT）图像上进行恩洛中性轨迹分析的新方法。选取了18例骨骼I类（ANB = 2°±2°）且无正畸治疗史的受试者的CBCT图像（12例男性和6例女性，年龄9至19岁）。对于每个受试者，对从CBCT图像中提取的头颅侧位片进行二维恩洛中性轨迹分析，并对CBCT图像进行三维中性轨迹分析。t检验未显示二维和三维测量之间有任何统计学上的显著差异，因此本研究提出的在三维图像上实现中性轨迹分析的方法是有效的，并且与恩洛在头颅侧位片上描述的方法可叠加。需要进一步对大量样本和不同骨骼类别的受试者进行研究以证实本研究结果。
