无托槽隐形矫治的成功依赖于合理的方案设计、良好的患者配合以及高质量的复诊监控。高质量的复诊监控要求正畸医师能较好地完成对牙齿移动的实时监测,包括评估牙齿位置是否与矫治方案一致,以及根骨关系是否安全合理。然而,临床上进行频繁的放射性检查并不现实。在数字化技术快速发展的今天,基于生物力学原理、图像处理算法及多模态数据融合的方法均显示出监测牙齿移动的临床应用潜力。本文对这些方法的研究进展及其在监测牙齿移动的应用逐一介绍,以供临床医师参考。 The success of clear aligner treatment relies on rational treatment planning, favorable patients' compliance and high-quality clinical dental monitoring. High-quality clinical dental monitoring involves not only evaluation of real-time tooth position and treatment-designed tooth position, but also the assessment of the root-alveolar bone relationship. However, fluent imaging tests with ionizing radiation are not realistic in clinical practice. Regarding the rapid advances in digital techniques, biomechanism based method, image processing algorithm-based method and multimodal data fusion-based method all exhibit great potential in monitoring tooth movement. This paper introduced the progress and clinical application in those methods for clinicians′ reference.
