Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy and reliability of Frankfort horizontal plane identification using displays of multi-planar reconstructed MRI images, and propose it as a sufficiently stable and standardized reference plane for craniofacial structures Materials and Methods: MRI images of 43 adolescent randomly selected subjects were obtained from the longitudinal population based cohort study SHIP-2 using a T1-weighted 3D sequence. Five examiners independently identified the three landmarks that form FH plane. Intra-examiner reproducibility and inter-examiner reliability, correlation coefficients (ICC), coefficient of variability and Bland-Altman plots were obtained for all landmarks coordinates to assess reproducibility. Intra-examiner reproducibility and inter-examiner reliability in terms of location and plane angulation were also assessed. Results: Intra- and inter-examiner reliabilities for X, Y and Z coordinates of all three landmarks were excellent with ICC values ranging from 0.914 to 0.998. Differences among examiners were more in X and Z than in Y dimensions. The Bland–Altman analysis demonstrated excellent intra- as well as inter-examiner agreement between examiners in all coordinates for all landmarks. Intra-examiner reproducibility and inter-examiner reliability of the three landmarks in terms of distance showed mean differences between 1.3 to 2.9 mm, Mean differences in plane angulation were between 1.0° to 1.5° among examiners. Conclusion: This study revealed excellent intra-examiner and inter-examiner reproducibility of Frankfort Horizontal plane through 3D landmark identification in MRI. Sufficiently stable landmark-based reference plane could be used for different treatments and studies.
Untersuchung von 183 Bundeswehrsoldaten, die alle eine unversorgte Schaltlücke im Seitenzahnbereich aufweisen. Es sollte überprüft werden, ob unversorgte Schaltlücken einen Einfluss auf die mundbezogene Lebensqualität haben. Diese wurde anhand des OHIP G 14 Fragebogens ermittelt. Zusätzlich haben die Probanden 17 Fragen aus dem zahnärztlichen Interview der SHIP Studie beantwortet. Die Probanden wurden entsprechend der Lokalisation der Lücke in 8 Gruppen unterteilt, die Modelle sind mit einem Cementographen vermessen worden. Referenzwert war die gesunde, kontralaterale Seite des jeweiligen Probanden. Das mundbezogene Verhalten von Probanden mit Ein- und Mehrzahnverlust war nicht unterschiedlich. Die Mundbezogene Lebensqualität war bei persistierender Seitenzahnlücke nicht reduziert. Es konnte keine Korrelation zwischen Grad der Lückenverengung und OHIP Score festgestellt werden. Es waren Zahnstellungsveränderungen vorhanden, auch Elongationen, Kippungen und Funktionsstörungen
