Table 6. Assessment of the reliability of measurements.
Cast analysis | First reading (n = 30) Mean ± SD (mm) | Second reading (n = 30) Mean ± SD (mm) | ICC |
IC-cusp maxilla | 31.7 ± 3.2 | 32.1 ± 3.1 | 0.98 |
IC-cusp mandible | 24.0 ± 2.8 | 24.3 ± 3.6 | 0.86 |
IC-gingiva maxilla | 23.7 ± 2.4 | 24.3 ± 2.5 | 0.97 |
IC-gingiva mandible | 19.1 ± 1.8 | 19.4 ± 1.9 | 0.97 |
IM-cusp maxilla | 46.4 ± 8.1 | 46.2 ± 8.1 | 0.89 |
IM-cusp mandible | 42.1 ± 3.4 | 42.4 ± 3.3 | 0.98 |
IM-gingiva maxilla | 34.5 ± 3.3 | 34.4 ± 3.7 | 0.94 |
IM-gingiva mandible | 31.9 ± 2.8 | 31.9 ± 3.0 | 0.89 |
n = 30; SD = standard deviation, IC = Intercanine width, IM = Intermolar width. ICC = Intraclass correlation coefficient.
ICC: > 0.75 excellent agreement, 0.4 - 0.75 fair agreement, < 0.4 poor agreement.
