Assessment of techniques used for superimposition of maxillary and mandibular 3D surface models to evaluate tooth movement: a systematic review

Conclusions and implicationsThe following areas of the maxilla could provide reliable outcomes: (1) the medial two-thirds of the third rugae and the area 5 mm dorsal to them and (2) an area including all rugae, with the lateral margins located at least 5 mm from the gingival margins and a distal margin that does not extend beyond the first molars. No recommendation is possible for other regions of the mouth. There is an urgent need for further research in the field.RegistrationPROSPERO (CRD42019124365).
