Uporaba digitalne fotografije u stomatološkoj protetici pri rekonstrukciji vertikalne dimenzije okluzije
Petričević, Nikola; Čelebić, Asja; Antonić, Robert; Borčić, Josipa & Lajnert, Vlatka
Cilj:
Mnoge metode opisuju postupke za određivanje vertikalne dimenzije okluzije
kod bezubih bolesnika, ali niti jedna od njih nije u potpunosti pouzdana. Cilj ovog rada je istražiti
mogućnost rekonstrukcije vertikalne dimenzije okluzije pomoću digitalne fotografije.
Metode:
U
istraživanju je sudjelovalo 55 ozubljenih ispitanika. Digitalni fotoaparat namješten je na
udaljenosti od 1.5 m od ispitanika, u razini Frankfurtske horizontale. Slikane su dvije serije
fotografija, s prednje strane i iz profila, pri čemu su zubi bili u položaju maksimalne
interkuspidacije (ICP). Sn-Gn (subnasale-gnation) i N-Sn (nasion-subnasale) udaljenosti su
izmjerene na ispitanicima i na fotografijama. Sn-Gn udaljenost za svakog ispitanika također je
izračunata pomoću formule: N-Sn (ispitanik) x Sn-Gn (fotografija) / N-Sn (fotografija). Sn-Gn
udaljenost je izračunata za frontalne i profilne fotografije. Za statističku obradu korišten je
Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, deskriptivne metode te studentov t-test za zavisne uzorke
(p<0.05).
Rezultati:
Nema značajnih razlika između Sn-Gn udaljenosti izmjerene na ispitanicima
i one izračunate na digitalnim fotografijama (profilnim i frontalnim) (p>0.05).
Zaključak:
Vertikalna dimenzija okluzije može biti rekonstruirana s digitalne fotografije pomoću formule: NSn
(ispitanik) x Sn-Gn (fotografija) / N-Sn (fotografija). Zbog toga bi bilo korisno da stomatolog
praktičar fotografira bolesnike dok imaju zube i sačuva te fotografije u memoriji računala zajedno
s ostalim stomatološkim podatcima.

Use of digital photographs in prosthodontic reconstruction of vertical dimension

Abstract
Aim:
Many methods have been described to determine the occlusal vertical
dimension in edentulous patients, but none of them is completely reliable. The aim of this
study was to examine the possibility of reconstrucing the occlusal vertical dimension by using
a digital photography.
Methods:
Digital photographs (obtained from a 1.5 m distance with a
digital camera elevated to the height of the Frankfort plane) (frontal and profile) were
obtained from 55 dentate subjects clenching in maximum intercuspidation (ICP). Sn-Gn
(subnasale-gnation) and N-Sn (nasion-subnasale) distances were measured in the subjects and
in their photographs. The Sn-Gn distance of each subject was also calculated by using the
following formula: N-Sn (subject) x Sn-Gn (photograph) / N-Sn (photograph). Sn-Gn distance
was calculated from both the frontal and profile photographs. A statistical analysis was
performed (Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, descriptive statistical methods and Student t test
for dependent samples) (p<0.05).
Results:
There were no significant differences between
the Sn-Gn distance measured in a subject and the same distance calculated from a digital
photograph (from both, the profile and frontal photographs) (p>0.05).
Conclusions:
The
occlusal vertical dimension could be reconstructed from a digital photographs by using the
formula: N-Sn (measured on a subject) x Sn-Gn (measured on the photograph) / N-Sn
(measured on a photograph). Therefore, the general practitioner should obtain and keep
stored such photographs in a computer together with other dental records of an individual.
