Study aims to evaluate the quantitative facial soft tissue changes in relation to the underlying skeletal tissue following L-shaped RM using CT and 3dMD analysis and to investigate the patient’s pre- and post-operative satisfaction as well as surgical outcomes.
A non-ionizing method for facial diagnosis and orthodontic treatment planning combines 3D stereophotogrammetric facial imaging (3dMD) and 3D intra-oral scanning (3Shape).
We enrolled 33 patients, comprising 24 men and 9 women, who were affected by cutaneous neoplasm on the nose and underwent excision followed by reconstruction with a flap. For each patient, we performed facial scans before and after surgery.
The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate soft tissue facial changes following bone-borne rapid maxillary expander using 3D stereophotogrammetry.

Abstract: Three-dimensional stereophotogrammetry is commonly used to assess volumetric changes after facial procedures. A lack of clear landmarks in aesthetic regions complicates the reproduction of selected areas in sequential images. A three-dimensional volumetric analysis was developed based on a personalized aesthetic template. The…

This cohort-based, prospective, follow-up study used three-dimensional (3D) stereophotogrammetry to assess the development of facial asymmetry in a normal birth cohort and to investigate the impact of DP on facial asymmetry for…

Background: Defining three-dimensional (3D) normal craniofacial morphology in healthy children could provide craniofacial surgeons a reference point to assess disease, plan surgical reconstruction, and evaluate treatment outcome. The purposes of this study were to report normal craniofacial form…

Objective: The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that sagittal anomalies have an effect on the perception of mandibular asymmetry. Secondly, it aimed to determine the asymmetry perception threshold of orthodontist and laypeople. Setting and Sample Population: A total of 90…
Date: October 2018. Source: European Journal of Plastic Surgery, Volume 41, Issue 5, pp 571–576. Background: Over the last years, several techniques have been proposed to improve the outcome of autologous breast reconstruction procedures. One of these innovations describes patient-specific, three-dimensional (3D) printed breast molds for intraoperative use based on 3D stereophotogrammetry. In this article,…
