Introduction: The purpose of this study was to apply a previously reported homologous model for quantifying and visualizing the three-dimensional (3D) cranio-mandibular morphology.
Methods: Twenty-eight 3D cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of Japanese patients (7 to 13 years of age) showing skeletal Class 1 malocclusions were used in this study. Wire mesh fitting was conducted for each patient based on the assignment of landmarks to each 3D surface (homologous modeling). Cranial and mandibular images were generated using surface rendering of the CBCT images. The mean and standard deviation of each point on the wire mesh were calculated as the normative mean. Two operators conducted the process twice for seven patients, with a one-week interval between fittings. The intra- and inter-examiner reliability were determined using the 95% confidence interval minimal detectable change (MDC 95 ) for random error and intra-class correlation coefficients (ICCs).
Results: The intra- and inter-examiner reliability of the mesh fitting method were almost perfect. Normative ranges of the cranial and mandibular surfaces of Japanese were determined.
Conclusions: A clinical method that enables practitioners to quantify and visualize the hard tissues of a patient's face in three dimensions with almost perfect reliability is presented. This method allows practitioners to evaluate how patients' skeletal characteristics differ from normative means in three dimensions.
