Comparing root angulation assessment methods in orthodontics

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study evaluates the accuracy of mesiodistal root angulation assessment using traditional panoramic radiographs versus advanced Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) guidance. It aims to determine whether CBCT provides a more precise localization of root angulation, which is crucial for effective orthodontic treatment planning. The study will involve patients who have undergone routine diagnostic procedures, including digital models and panoramic radiographs, and will assess the clinical significance of the findings. The use of OrthoAnalyzer™ software will facilitate the analysis of the collected data.
