Reliability of bolton teeth ratio in dual pour alginate impression with plaster and digital models
Journal Title: IP Indian Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Research - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Aim: The purpose of this study was to compare the values of Bolton ratio for plaster dental casts versus software -based dental models made from a dual pour alginate impression. Materials and Methods: Maxillary and mandibular alginate impressions were made for a sample of thirty-six patients with permanent dentitions from first molar to first molar. Impressions were poured in plaster allowed to set for 8-10 minutes. Casts were removed after cleaning second plaster poured. Thus without damaging dual pour procedure were performed. For digital casts, obtained plaster casts were Scanned and imported into software to perform digital cast’s analysis. Measurements of mesiodistal tooth width were made using digital calipers or Nemoceph software. Overall and anterior Bolton analyses were performed for all models. Measurements were repeated no less than two weeks later. Results were statistically analyzed for correlation coefficients and student t –test was performed. Results: Correlations showed very high intrarater reliability for measurements made on both plaster and digital casts. Boltons ratio has shown statistically significance differences between plaster and digital casts in mesiodistal measurements of both maxillary and mandibular arches.
