Abstract
This study describes the development of a novel method for evaluating tooth wear during orthodontic treatment using a three-dimensional (3D) digital superimposition technique. Dental casts were collected from 112 patients undergoing orthodontic treatment, with pre-treatment (T1) and post-treatment (T2) casts used to create 3D images of the canines. Both lingual and labial surfaces were utilized as reference points, and the volume of the canines was measured before and after orthodontic intervention using four boundary planes. Analysis of data collected over an average orthodontic treatment duration of 36.5 months revealed an average tooth wear of 3.0 mm3 across 448 canines. Notably, male subjects exhibited a canine tooth wear volume of 3.3 ± 2.5 mm3, while female subjects showed a volume of 2.9 ± 2.2 mm3. Furthermore, it was observed that upper right canines experienced significantly greater wear compared to lower right canines. The utilization of three-dimensional digital models enables precise quantification of tooth wear in orthodontic patients through regional registration. This methodology holds promise for use in restorative dentistry to evaluate treatment outcomes effectively
