Objective: To analyze the reliability and reproducibility of a simplified method for analysis of dental angulation using digital photos of plaster dental casts. Methods: Digital and standardized photographs of plaster casts were performed and posteriorly imported to an angle reading graphic program in order to have measurements obtained. Such procedures were repeated to evaluate the random error and to analyze reproducibility through intraclass correlation. The sample consisted of 12 individuals (six male and six female) with full permanent dentition orthodontically untreated. The analyses were bilaterally carried out, and generated 24 measurements. Results: The random error showed variation of 0.77 to 2.55 degrees for teeth angulation. The statistical analysis revealed that the method presents excellent reproducibility (p < 0.0001) for all teeth, except for the upper premolars. In spite of that, it is still considered statistically significant (p < 0.001). Conclusion: The proposed method presents enough reliability that justifies its use in the development of scientific research as well as in clinical practice.

Quanto de desvio da linha média dentária superior ortodontistas e leigos conseguem perceber?

AIM: The present study evaluated the perception degree of the upper midline deviation and crown incisor angulation among orthodontists and lay people, as well as the influence of the labial philtrum visualization as a morphological reference of the facial midline during smile examination. METHODS: in a smile picture taken from a 23 year old female, 10 year after orthodontic retention, changes were made in the upper midline, from 1mm to 4mm, and in the crown incisor angulation, from 5º to 15º, both for left side, using a image manipulation software (Adobe Photoshop 7.0). The pictures were cut out forming a group with and another without the visualization of the labial philtrum. The images obtained were examined by 24 orthodontists and 24 graduated lay people. RESULTS: Results showed that orthodontists were less tolerant to discrepancies of midline than lay people, as well as to changes in the crown incisor angulation. The orthodontists were able to observe midline deviations of 2mm and crown incisor angulation deviations starting from 5º. The lay people examiners considered as unacceptable only midline deviations starting from 3 or 4mm, depending on the labial philtrum visualization, and angulation deviations of the incisor crown starting from 10º. Labial philtrum visualization had influenced only to lay people examiners. CONCLUSIONS: It can be concluded that orthodontists are more critic when examining midline deviations and crown angulation changes than lay people examiners. The visualization of the philtrum has no influence for the orthodontist group, but had slight influence on the lay people examiners.
