Evaluation Method of Treatment Outcome Based on Superimposition of CBCT Before and After in Class II Patients Treated with IZS Screws
Abstract
In orthodontic practice, cone-beam computed tomography, or CBCT, is a crucial diagnostic technique. It is possible to assess how bone structures change over time following therapy by superimposing CBCT pictures. To avoid errors caused by shifting bone marker positions, CBCT images can be superimposed using certain algorithms. In this paper, we outline a technique for superimposing (overlaying) CBCT pictures of patients before to and following subzygomatic screw orthodontic therapy.
