Purpose: Use of inappropriate statistical methods may lead to incorrect conclusions and a waste of valuable resources. The goal of this study was to assess the frequency and the types of several common statistical errors in the published articles of the Journal of the Korean Academy of Prosthodontics (JKAP) for a 5-year period. Materials and methods: Of 336 articles in the JKAP published from 2006 to 2010, 255 articles using statistics were reviewed and classified by statistical method and year. The frequency and types of the statistical methods were examined, and the statistical errors were evaluated by the appropriateness of the experimental design, assumption check, independent outcomes, proper sample size and suitable use of statistical method. Statistical guidelines were completed based on the appropriateness. Results: Of the 255 articles using statistics, 193 articles (75.9%) used inferential statistics and 153 articles used SPSS statistical software (60.0%). Of the articles using inferential statistics, the three most frequently used statistical methods were ANOVA (41.5%), t-test (20.0%), and the nonparametric method (16.9%). The average rate of statistical errors was 61.2 percent, similar to the rate reported by several studies completed for the medical journal. Conclusion: After the whole analysis of the difference among the groups, post-hoc tests for the pairwise comparisons are required. The optimal sample size calculation is an essential part of this study protocol. To minimize the occurrence of statistical errors, statistical guidelines were developed according to each statistical test procedure and will contribute to the academic improvement in the JKAP. 연구 목적:대한치과보철학회지의 최근 5년간 게재된 논문 중에서 통계 방법이 사용된 논문의 빈도를 조사하고 통계 방법의 종류 및 오류의 유형과 빈도를 살펴 보고 오류별 적절한 통계 방법을 제시하고 통계분석 가이드라인을 개발하여 대한치과보철학회지의 학술적 발전에 기여하고자 한다. 연구 재료 및 방법:2006년부터 2010년까지 게재된 논문 336편 중 통계방법이 사용된 255편을 연구대상으로 하여 연도별로 통계 방법 사용 여부, 주로 사용된 통계방법과 소프트웨어의 유형과 빈도를 조사하였다. 통계방법 별로 고안된 가이드라인에 따라 오류를 조사하였는데 주로 실험설계의 적절성, 분석법에 대한 가정검토, 표본의 독립성 및 변수의 적합성, 적절한 표본 수와 적절한 통계방법이 사용되었는지에 대한 평가를 하였고 이를 토대로 고안된 가이드라인을 제시하였다. 결과:본 연구에서 조사된 논문 중 추론통계를 사용한 논문이 193편(75.9%)으로 대다수를 차지하였고 사용된 소프트웨어는 SPSS가 153편(59.77%)으로 가장 많았다. 추론통계를 사용한 논문들을 대상으로 통계방법을 분류한 결과 ANOVA (41.5%), t-test (20.0%), 비모수 방법(16.9%)순으로 많았고 최근에 가까울수록 다양한 분석법을 시도하였으나 유의한 변화는 관찰되지 않았다. 대부분의 논문들은 표본수의 산출근거를 제시하지 않았고, 분석법에 대한 가정(독립성, 정규성, 등분산성 등) 검토를 하지 않은 공통적인 오류를 범했다. 전체적으로는 61.2%의 통계적 오류를 범하였다. 결론: 대부분의 오류는 전체적인 분석 후 세부적인 분석으로 들어가야 하는데 두 요인에 대한 상호작용을 무시하고 단변수 분석을 여러 번 한 경우와 연구 계획 단계에서 적절한 표본 수를 산출하지 않아 나타난 경우 등이었다. 이러한 통계 오류를 최소화하기 위하여 분석 방법 별 검정 절차에 대한 통계분석 가이드라인을 제시하였다.

Hak-Ki Kim,Yong-Gun Kim,Jin-Hyun Cho,Sang-Kyu Lee,Jae-Mok Lee 대한치과보철학회 2019 The Journal of Advanced Prosthodontics Vol.11 No.5

PURPOSE. To evaluate the effect of periodontal and prosthodontic therapy on glycated hemoglobin A(HbA1c) level in patients with diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS. This is a retrospective study of 70 patients suffering from diabetes who visited the Kyungpook National University Hospital between January 2016 and May 2018. Patients underwent medical evaluation for their routine check-up, which includes laboratory test for HbA1c levels. Among the 70 patients, 35 patients also visited Kyungpook National University Dental Hospital during the same period to receive periodontal and prosthodontic therapy, while the other 35 patients did not receive such therapy. The HbA1c levels were compared before and after periodontal and prosthodontic therapy. Comparisons between groups and within groups were performed using independent t-test. RESULTS. The HbA1c levels in the group who have received periodontal and prosthodontic therapy decreased from 7.2 to 6.7 (P=.001). The HbA1c levels in the control group decreased from 7.2 to 7.1 (P=.580). The difference in changes between the two patient groups was statistically significant (P=.011). CONCLUSION. Periodontal and prosthodontic therapy can be effective on glycemic control in patients with diabetes.

The path of placement of a removable partial denture: a microscope based approach to survey and design

Mamoun, John Sami The Korean Academy of Prosthodonitics 2015 The Journal of Advanced Prosthodontics Vol.7 No.1

This article reviews the topic of how to identify and develop a removable partial denture (RPD) path of placement, and provides a literature review of the concept of the RPD path of placement, also known as the path of insertion. An optimal RPD path of placement, guided by mutually parallel guide planes, ensures that the RPD flanges fit intimately over edentulous ridge structures and that the framework fits intimately with guide plane surfaces, which prevents food collecting empty spaces between the intaglio surface of the framework and intraoral surfaces, and ensures that RPD clasps engage adequate numbers of tooth undercuts to ensure RPD retention. The article covers topics such as the causes of obstructions to RPD intra-oral seating, the causes of food collecting empty spaces that may exist around an RPD, and how to identify if a guide plane is parallel with the projected RPD path of placement. The article presents a method of using a surgical operating microscope, or high magnification (6-8x or greater) binocular surgical loupes telescopes, combined with co-axial illumination, to identify a preliminary path of placement for an arch. This preliminary path of placement concept may help to guide a dentist or a dental laboratory technician when surveying a master cast of the arch to develop an RPD path of placement, or in verifying that intra-oral contouring has aligned teeth surfaces optimally with the RPD path of placement. In dentistry, a well-fitting RPD reduces long-term periodontal or structural damage to abutment teeth.

Integrating 3D facial scanning in a digital workflow to CAD/CAM design and fabricate complete dentures for immediate total mouth rehabilitation

Bassam Hassan,Marcus Greven,Daniel Wismeijer 대한치과보철학회 2017 The Journal of Advanced Prosthodontics Vol.9 No.5

PURPOSE. To integrate extra-oral facial scanning information with CAD/CAM complete dentures to immediately rehabilitate terminal dentition. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Ten patients with terminal dentition scheduled for total extraction and immediate denture placement were recruited for this study. The patients were submitted to a facial scanning procedure using the in-office PritiMirror scanner with bite registration records in-situ. Definitive stone cast models and bite records were subsequently submitted to a lab scanning procedure using the lab scanner (iSeries DWOS; Dental Wings). The scanned models were used to create a virtual teeth setup of a complete denture. Using the intra-oral bite records as a reference, the virtual setup was incorporated in the facial scan thereby facilitating a virtual clinical evaluation (teeth try-in) phase. After applying necessary adjustments, the virtual setup was submitted to a CAM procedure where a 5-axis industrial milling machine (M7 CNC; Darton AG General) was used to fabricate a full-milled PMMA immediate provisional prosthesis. RESULTS. Total extractions were performed, the dentures were immediately inserted, and subjective clinical fit was evaluated. The immediate provisional prostheses were inserted and clinical fit, occlusion/articulation, and esthetics were subjectively assessed; the results were deemed satisfactory. All provisional prostheses remained three months in function with no notable technical complications. CONCLUSION. Ten patients with terminal dentition were treated using a complete digital approach to fabricate complete dentures using CAD/CAM technology. The proposed technique has the potential to accelerate the rehabilitation procedure starting from immediate denture to final implant-supported prosthesis leading to more predictable functional and aesthetics outcomes.

Comparison of different digital shade selection methodologies in terms of accuracy

Nurşen Şahin,Çağrı Ural 대한치과보철학회 2024 The Journal of Advanced Prosthodontics Vol.16 No.1

Purpose. The aim of this stuldy was to compare the clinical marginal fit of CAD-CAM inlays obtained from intraoral digital impression or addition silicone impression techniques. Materials and Methods. The study included 31 inlays for prosthodontics purposes of 31 patients: 15 based on intraoral digital impressions (DI group); and 16 based on a conventional impression technique (CI group). Inlays included occlusal and a non-occlusal surface. Inlays were milled in ceramic. The inlay-teeth interface was replicated by placing each inlay in its corresponding uncemented clinical preparation and taking interface impressions with silicone material from occlusal and free surfaces. Interface analysis was made using white light confocal microscopy (WLCM) (scanning area: 694 × 510 μm2) from the impression samples. The gap size and the inlay overextension were measured from the microscopy topographies. For analytical purposes (i.e., 95-%-confidence intervals calculations and P-value calculations), the procedure REGRESS in SUDAAN was used to account for clustering (i.e., multiple measurements). For p-value calculation, the log transformation of the dependent variables was used to normalize the distributions. Results. Marginal fit values for occlusal and free surfaces were affected by the type of impression. There were no differences between surfaces (occlusal vs. free). Gap obtained for DI group was 164 ± 84 μm and that for CI group was 209 ± 104 μm, and there were statistical differences between them (p = .041). Mean overextension values were 60 ± 59 μm for DI group and 67 ± 73 μm for CI group, and there were no differences between then (p = .553). Conclusion. Digital impression achieved inlays with higher clinical marginal fit and performed better than the conventional silicone materials.

Carlos Alberto Jurado,Tamer El-Gendy,Jared Hyer,Akimasa Tsujimoto 대한치과보철학회 2022 The Journal of Advanced Prosthodontics Vol.14 No.1

PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to investigate shade changes in fully- and pre-crystalized CAD-CAM lithium disilicate crowns after the required and additional firing processes. MATERIALS AND METHODS. One hundred and five crowns of shade A1 with high translucency were milled out of CAD-CAM lithium disilicate blocks and categorized as follows (n = 15): (1) restorations fabricated from Straumann n!ce with no additional sintering process; (2) restorations fabricated from Straumann n!ce with one additional sintering process; (3) restorations fabricated from Straumann n!ce with two additional sintering processes; (4) restorations fabricated from Amber Mill with one sintering process; (5) restorations fabricated from Amber Mill with two sintering processes; (6) restorations fabricated from IPS e.max CAD with one sintering process; (7) restorations fabricated from IPS e.max CAD with two sintering processes. All restorations were evaluated with a color imaging spectrophotometer. RESULTS. All restorations presented some color alteration from the original shade both after a single and after two firing processes. CONCLUSION. The required and additional sintering processes for restorations fabricated with chairside CAD-CAM lithium disilicate blocks cause an alteration of the original shade selected. Shade A1 high translucency restorations tend to change to a more yellowish B1 shade after a sintering process.

Irina Karakas-Stupar,Nicola Ursula Zitzmann,Tim Joda 대한치과보철학회 2022 The Journal of Advanced Prosthodontics Vol.14 No.2

PURPOSE. The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate the accuracy (trueness and precision) of five intraoral scanners (IOS) using a novel reference model for standardized performance evaluation. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Five IOSs (Medit i500, Omnicam, Primescan, Trios 3, Trios 4) were used to digitize the reference model, which represented a simplified full-arch situation with four abutment teeth. Each IOS was used five times by an experienced operator, resulting in 25 STL (Standard Tessellation Language) files. STL data were imported into 3D software (Final Surface®) and examined for inter- and intra-group analyses. Deviations in the parameter matching error were calculated. ANOVA F-test and Kruskal-Wallis test were applied for inter-group comparisons (α = .05); and the coefficient of variation (CV) was calculated for intra-group comparisons (in % ± SD). RESULTS. Primescan (matching error value: 0.015), Trios 3 (0.016), and Trios 4 (0.018) revealed comparable results with significantly higher accuracy compared to Medit i500 (0.035) and Omnicam (0.028) (P < .001). For intra-group comparison, Trios 4 demonstrated the most homogenous results (CV 15.8%). CONCLUSION. The novel reference model investigated in this study can be used to assess the performance of dental scanning technologies in the daily routine setting and in research settings.
