About this study

This study is aimed to develop and assess the validity of an algorithm for automated three-dimensional cephalometry.

Read the detailed description

Cephalometric analysis is a standardized diagnostic method used daily by orthodontists and maxillofacial surgeons. It is based on linear and angular measurements performed on radiographic images. This examination is traditionally done manually on two-dimensional radiographs, which does not allow to analyze finely the bilateral structures which are found superimposed. Cephalometric analysis of three-dimensional imaging (cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) or computed tomography scan (CT-Scan)) may provide additional diagnostic information, particularly for patients with maxillofacial abnormalities or marked asymmetries.

One of the obstacle to the clinical use of three-dimensional cephalometric analysis is the time and expertise needed to manually place the landmarks. Automatic methods described in literature are preliminary and lack validation in a clinical context.

Our retrospective observational study is aimed to develop and validate a new automated three-dimensional cephalometry method. This method will be based on a deep learning algorithm trained from a database of pre-surgery CT-Scans of patients with have undergone an orthognathic surgery. These CT-Scans will be manually annotated to provide a reference standard for the training of the algorithm and its evaluation. The validation of our results will focus on demonstrating the diagnostic effectiveness and robustness of three-dimensional cephalometric measurements obtained in this clinical context.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Average distances (in mm) between the points placed automatically and the points placed manually (reference).

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Percentage of points placed automatically within 2 / 3 / 4 mm of the the points placed manually (reference)

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Orthognathic Surgery and Dentofacial Deformities, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Oct 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Average distances (in mm) between the points placed automatically and the points placed manually (reference). (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 Oct 2022.
