Abstract Introduction This study aims to compare sagittal condylar inclination (SCI) measurements derived from three workflows: intraoral scan (IOS) aligned with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), IOS aligned with facial scan (FS), and a jaw motion analyzer (JMA) system, in a cohort of young individuals with established normal occlusion. Additionally, the study aims to identify sources contributing to variance in these measurement approaches. Methods Twenty-four healthy individuals exhibiting normal occlusion were enrolled in this clinical trial. The SCI was delineated using a virtual articulator (VA) by aligning IOS with both CBCT and FS, creating two distinct workflows labeled CBCT-IOS and FS-IOS, respectively. Concurrently, SCI measurements were also acquired using a JMA. The normality of data distribution for the difference in bilateral SCI measurements within each workflow was tested using the Shapiro-Wilk test. Depending on the outcomes of this test, we utilized either a paired-sample T-test or Wilcoxon test for bilateral SCI comparisons. The inter-workflow differences were assessed using the Kruskal-Wallis H test. Bland-Altman plots were assess the interchangeability and consistency across each pair of digital methods and to evaluate the aggregate consistency among the trio of digital approaches. Results The analysis revealed that the CBCT-IOS workflow yielded the lowest average SCI measurements, whereas the JMA workflow produced the highest values. No significant differences were found in the SCI measurements between the left and right sides obtained by CBCT-IOS and JMA (P > .05), with the exception of the FS-IOS workflow (P = .002). Additionally, inter-flow comparisons revealed no significant differences in SCI measurements (P > .05), except when contrasting the SCI as measured by CBCT-IOS and JMA (P = .0131). The Bland-Altman plots demonstrated a high degree of consistency and 95% limits of agreement across the three digital workflows. Conclusion SCI measurements obtained from the three digital workflows exhibit a high degree of consistency and are interchangeable, affirming their clinical applicability for precise SCI assessment in young individuals with normal occlusion. |
