Abstract

Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the reliability of Bolton analysis results obtained with ClinCheck software and the interproximal reduction (IPR) ratios the software recommends.
Materials Methods: From the Invisalign® clear aligner system database, 120 individuals were divided into three groups according to Angle classification: dental class I (n=43), dental class II (n=49), and dental class III (n=28) malocclusions. The Bolton analysis data and the IPR amounts determined by Align Technology’s digital treatment planning interface, ClinCheck, were evaluated separately for the maxilla and mandible for each individual. A discrepancy was defined as the condition in which the Bolton ratio the software determined and the suggested IPR amount for the anterior ratio and the overall ratio exceeded 2 mm. The average anterior Bolton ratio and suggested anterior Bolton ratio, along with the total Bolton ratio and suggested total Bolton ratio for all individuals, were compared using Cronbach’s alpha.
Results: It was determined that the average suggested anterior Bolton ratio for individuals with class I malocclusion was higher than that for individuals with other malocclusions (p=0.008). Cronbach’s alpha for the anterior Bolton ratio and the suggested anterior Bolton ratio was 0.131 whereas the overall ratio and the suggested overall Bolton ratio value were determined to be 0.41. Both values are defined as indicating weak reliability.
Conclusion: A weak reliability relationship was detected between the Bolton values obtained with the ClinCheck software and the IPR suggestions provided in treatment planning.

Clincheck Yazılımının Önerdiği İnterproksımal Redüksiyon Miktarı Ne Kadar Güvenilir?

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışma ClinCheck yazılımı ile elde edilen Bolton analiz sonuçlarının ve yazılımın önerdiği interproksimal redüksiyon (IPR) oranlarının güvenilirliğini değerlendirmek amacıyla yapılmıştır.
Materyal ve Metod: Invisalign® şeffaf plak sistemi veri tabanından 120 birey Angle sınıflamasına göre üç gruba ayrılmıştır: dental sınıf I (n=43), dental sınıf II (n=49) ve dental sınıf III (n=28) maloklüzyonlar. Bolton analiz verileri ve Align Technology’nin dijital tedavi planlama arayüzü ClinCheck tarafından belirlenen IPR miktarları her birey için maksilla ve mandibula için ayrı ayrı değerlendirilmiştir. Uyuşmazlık, yazılımın belirlediği Bolton oranı ile anterior oran ve genel oran için önerilen IPR miktarının 2 mm’yi aştığı durum olarak tanımlanmıştır. Tüm bireyler için ortalama anterior Bolton oranı ve önerilen anterior Bolton oranı ile toplam Bolton oranı ve önerilen toplam Bolton oranı Cronbach’s alpha kullanılarak karşılaştırılmıştır.
Bulgular: Sınıf I maloklüzyona sahip bireyler için önerilen anterior Bolton oranı ortalamasının (Ortalama:0.18), sınıf II maloklüzyona (Ortalama: 0.00) ve sınıf III maloklüzyona (Ortalama: 0.00) sahip bireylere göre daha yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir (p=0.008). Anterior Bolton oranı ve önerilen anterior Bolton oranı için Cronbach alfa değeri 0,131 iken, genel oran ve önerilen genel Bolton oranı değeri 0,41 olarak belirlenmiştir. Her iki değer de zayıf güvenilirlik göstergesi olarak tanımlanmıştır.
Sonuç: ClinCheck yazılımı ile elde edilen Bolton değerleri ile tedavi planlamasında sunulan IPR önerileri arasında zayıf bir güvenilirlik ilişkisi tespit edilmiştir.
