CBCT and intra-oral scanner: the advantages of 3D technologies in orthodontic treatment

Background: The aim is to demonstrate the validity of the monitoring through intraoral scanner of the dental movements and the real impact, advantages, and convenience, in terms of treatment time and efficiency gain, to frequently monitor a patient with the scanner application. Methods: A movement control of palatally impacted canines was performed, surgically treated with laser opercolectomy. Three-dimensional models of the patient’s dental arch were obtained with intraoral scanner during a monitoring time of 4 months.

Dental monitoring application: it is a valid innovation in the orthodontics practice?

The aim of research is to show the effectiveness of 0.014X0.025 CuNiTi wires in self-ligating straight-wire appliance in the working time of 10 weeks, the treatments are monitored with the Dental Monitoring® Applications. A statistical significance analysis of the correspondence between the results of the first phase of fixed orthodontic treatment (alignment), according to the type of wires used, compared to the time (about 8 weeks) suggested by the manufactory house is therefore useful to fully understand the power of these arches in the orthodontic treatment.
