| description | Objectives: This study aims to
compare the measurements of the extraction spaces in the plaster models and
digital dental models and to investigate the usability of the digital models in
preventive and interceptive appliances in pediatric dentistry clinics.Material and Methods:
In the dental models of 56 patients whose first molar teeth were extracted in
the early period, the dental arch length of the extraction spaces were measured
with a digital caliper in the plaster model (Control Group), with computer
software in the digital model (Experimental Group). Measured values were
compared using a t-test and statistical significance levels were determined.Results: In plaster models and digital
models, the measured mean arc length of the extraction spaces were 6.94 mm and
6.83 mm, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference
between the two measurement methods (p>0.05).
Conclusions: The use of digital
models is recommended in pediatric dentistry clinics due to shorter chair time
in pediatric patients, effective treatment planning/follow-ups, reducing treatment
costs and other advantages. |
