Abstract

The article focuses on the development and validation of a novel three-dimensional (3D) model analysis method for monitoring maxillary tooth movement during orthodontic treatment by combining cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images and intraoral scans. This method uses transformation matrices to quantify tooth translation and rotation in 3D space, including root positions, and was validated against traditional cephalometric analysis by measuring central incisor inclination in 16 patients. Results showed that the 3D model analysis had higher reliability and lower measurement error (0.58°) compared to cephalometry (2.02°), with strong correlation (0.974) and agreement between methods. The approach enables dynamic, detailed monitoring of tooth movement throughout treatment without additional radiation exposure, although further evaluation of its trueness and extension to mandibular teeth is needed.
