Article Synopsis
- The study explores the application of Enlow's vertical track analysis in orthodontics using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images, aiming to enhance the understanding of craniofacial structures in three dimensions.
- Eighteen subjects with skeletal Class I characteristics underwent both 2D and 3D analyses to validate the effectiveness of CBCT for this specific analysis.
- Results showed no significant differences between the measurements obtained through 2D and 3D analyses, indicating that CBCT could effectively provide similar insights as traditional methods.
The aim of this study is to provide a novel method to perform Enlow's neutral track analysis on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. Eighteen CBCT images of skeletal Class I (ANB = 2° ± 2°) subjects (12 males and 6 females, aged from 9 to 19 years) with no history of previous orthodontic treatment were selected. For each subject, 2D Enlow's neutral track analysis was performed on lateral cephalograms extracted from CBCT images and 3D neutral track analysis was performed on CBCT images.

Eighteen CBCT images of skeletal Class I (ANB = 2° ± 2°) subjects (12 males and 6 females, aged from 9 to 19 years) with no history of previous orthodontic treatment were selected. For each subject, a 2D Enlow's counterpart analysis was performed on lateral cephalograms extracted from the CBCT images.

The participants had to be male and female adults who were diagnosed with OSAS either by overnight polysomnography (carried out at a sleep laboratory or at home) or by a home sleep testing monitor (Apnea Risk Evaluation System).

(2) In this cross-sectional study, CBCT records were retrospectively analysed. From the original sample of 52 CBCT records, 33 records of normo-divergent adult subjects were selected (11 Class I, 13 Class II and 9 Class III).

Article Synopsis
- * Participants achieved an average score of 23.8 out of 40, indicating a moderate level of understanding about TMD diagnosis and treatment.
- * There were significant differences in knowledge based on sex, age, and years of experience, but no significant difference in scores among various dental specializations was found.
