Abstrakt: Introduction: The use of arch models is essential in diagnosis and planning in orthodontics. The demand for digital and printed models has increased among professionals.
Objective: The aim of the study was to assess the agreement of horizontal and vertical linear measurements obtained from digital models, printed models, and direct measurements.
Materials and Methods: Intraoral scans of 30 individuals were obtained. Digital measurements were performed using the STL files. From printed models, the measurements were done using a digital caliper, and the real measurements were done directly to the mouth of respective patients.
Results: The one-sample t test showed no discrepancy between the paired sets of measurements, with the value of 0 (p>0.05). The evaluation of the measurements was done using Bland-Altman analysis in pairs. The three methods showed agreement in horizontal and vertical measurements. Linear regression analyses showed no proportional bias in the data (p>0.05).
Conclusion: The horizontal and vertical measurements evaluated showed agreement when measured on digital models, printed models and directly in the individuals' mouths.
