    Summary

    Digital models demonstrate high reproducibility and repeatability for assessing unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) patients using the GOSLON yardstick. This validates their use in clinical evaluations.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthodontics
    • Craniofacial Anomalies
    • Digital Imaging

    Background:

    • The GOSLON yardstick is crucial for evaluating the occlusal outcomes in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP).
    • Assessing the reliability of digital models for this purpose is essential for modern orthodontic practice.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the reproducibility and repeatability of using digital dental models for GOSLON scoring in UCLP patients.
    • To compare the reliability of digital models versus traditional dental casts for GOSLON assessments.

    Main Methods:

    • Two examiners assessed 30 UCLP patients' dental casts and corresponding digital models using the GOSLON yardstick.
    • Assessments were conducted twice, with 1-week and 1-month intervals, to measure intrarater repeatability and reproducibility.

  • Statistical analysis included Linear Weighted Kappa and Kendall's Coefficient of Concordance.

    • Main Results:

    • High intrarater repeatability was observed for both digital models (Kappa: 0.89, 0.97) and casts (Kappa: 0.86, 0.97).
    • Very good interrater agreement was found for digital models (Kappa: 0.80, 0.87) and casts (Kappa: 0.80, 0.90).
    • Kendall's Coefficient (0.99) and Correlation Coefficient (0.86) supported the reliability of digital model scores.

    Conclusions:

    • Digital dental models provide a highly reproducible and repeatable method for GOSLON scoring in UCLP patients.
    • Digital models are a reliable alternative to traditional dental casts for orthodontic outcome assessment.
