Quantifying Root Resorption on the Incisors After Clear Aligner and Fixed Appliance Therapy Using Artificial Intelligence Tool Based <scp>CBCT</scp> Surface Models: Randomized Clinical Trial
EARR occurred following non-extraction treatment of Class I malocclusion with both clear aligners and fixed appliances, with no significant difference between appliance types. Upper lateral incisors were most susceptible to EARR. The novel 3D analysis enabled comprehensive quantification of total EARR, setting a new methodological standard. Monitoring root health during treatment is important, particularly for upper lateral incisors.
