Abstract

Background: Cephalometric analysis plays a critical role in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. The identification of anatomical landmarks from lateral cephalograms is crucial for assessing skeletal and dental relationships. Traditionally, cephalometric analysis is performed manually by orthodontists, which is time-consuming and susceptible to inter-observer variability. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in cephalometry has the potential to improve diagnostic efficiency and reduce errors. WEBCEPH is an AI-based cephalometric analysis software that automatically detects cephalometric landmarks, allowing for more accurate and efficient analysis compared to traditional manual methods. This study aims to assess the accuracy of AI-based cephalometric analysis using WEBCEPH compared to conventional cephalometric measurement.Method: This study analyzed 30 lateral cephalometric radiographs with good quality and no dental or craniofacial deformities. Each cephalogram was analyzed using both conventional and digital methods. The Stainer cephalometric skeletal, dental, and soft tissue analyses from both methods were compared using independent t-tests and Mann-whitney.Outcome: The statistical results indicate that there was no significant difference between conventional and digital methods for all Steiner cephalometric analysis. The WEBCEPH software demonstrated good agreement with conventional methods in cephalometric analysis.Conclusion: AI-based cephalometric analysis using WEBCEPH provides comparable accuracy to conventional methods, offering a reliable and efficient alternative for orthodontic diagnosis.

Abstract

Introduction: Malocclusion is a condition characterized by misalignment of the teeth and improper jaw alignment, which can lead to impaired chewing function. One type of orthodontic appliance that can be used in the treatment of malocclusion is the removable orthodontic appliance. This appliance offers the advantage of being easily removed and reinserted by the patient, thereby helping to maintain better oral hygiene, and carries a lower risk of root resorption and periodontal complications compared to fixed orthodontic appliances. Research on changes in alveolar bone height has largely focused on the use of fixed orthodontic appliances, while studies on removable orthodontic appliances remain limited. Aim: This study aims to evaluate the differences in alveolar bone height before and after the use of removable orthodontic appliances in patients at Unimus Dental Hospital. Methods: This study applied an analytical observational approach with a cross-sectional design. The study was conducted by measuring the alveolar bone height on panoramic radiographs before and after the use of removable orthodontic appliances on 10 teeth in 17 subjects using ImageJĀ® software. Result: The results of both the paired sample t-test and the Wilcoxon signed rank tests showed p-values greater than 0.05. Conclusion: There was no difference in alveolar bone height before and after the use of removable orthodontic appliances in patients at the Unimus Dental Hospital Keywords: alveolar bone, bone resorption, removable orthodontic appliances
