Quantitative analysis of facial symmetry by using three-dimensional technology. Z Wu, X Gao, H Long et al.
The chin and lateral mandible contribute most significantly to the facial symmetry. The objective measurement of facial symmetry, 3D technology, is reliable.

From Healthcare to Training, Wearing, and Populating the Metaverse. C Lane, K Duncan.
How 3dMD provides an efficient image capture workflow tool for XR/VR/AR, Computer Vision, AI, Machine Learning, and Human Factors teams to personalize natural human actions, behaviors, gestures, nuances, etc. into digital media interpretation input that will persistently train, wear, and populate the metaverse.
Mother and Daughter Carrying of the Same Pathogenic Variant in FGFR2 with Discordant Phenotype. F Lo Vecchio, E Tabolacci, V Nobile, MG Pomponi, R Pietrobono, G Neri, S Amenta, E Candida, C Grippaudo, E Lo Cascio et al.
Craniosynostosis are a heterogeneous group of genetic conditions characterized by the premature fusion of the skull bones. The most common forms of craniosynostosis are Crouzon, Apert and Pfeiffer syndromes.
Volumetric effect and patient satisfaction after facial fat grafting. AJ Tuin, RH Schepers, FKL Spijkervet, A Vissink, J Jansma.
We aimed to assess the overall and more specifically the local volumetric effects of facial fat grafting and relate these effects to patient satisfaction up to one year after treatment.
Appearance or attitude: what matters to craniosynostosis patients? Association of self-esteem, depressive symptoms, and facial aesthetics in patients with sagittal and metopic synostosis. A Svalina, E Heikura, T Savolainen et al.
Non-syndromic craniosynostosis patients are as satisfied with their appearance in adulthood as the control group and do not experience a lower self-esteem or more depressive symptoms. Facial asymmetry does not correlate with low self-esteem or clinically significant depressive symptoms in adulthood. Subjective evaluation of one’s appearance correlated with depressive symptoms. Age and gender do not influence the former results. Overall, patients are satisfied with their appearance.
A semi-automatic three-dimensional technique using a regionalized facial template enables facial growth assessment in healthy children from 1.5 to 5.0 years of age. R Bruggink, F Baan, S Brons, TGJ Loonen, AM Kuijpers-Jagtman, TJJ Maal, EM Ongkosuwito.
To develop a semi-automatic technique to evaluate normative facial growth in healthy children between the age of 1.5 and 5.0 years using three-dimensional stereophotogrammetric images.
Profiles of facial soft tissue changes during and after orthodontic treatment in female adults. J Gao, X Wang, Z Qin et al.
This study used 3dMD stereo photography technology to compare facial soft tissue changes among adult females who received orthodontics. A total of 52 adult females (24 teeth extraction, 28 non-teeth extraction cases) were included and potential correlations between related factors (facial morphology features, the change of occlusal height and dental arch width) were evaluated during different treatment periods.
Reliability of automated topographic measurements for spine deformity. BN Groisser, HJ Hillstrom, A Thakur, KW Morse, M Cunningham, MT Hresko, R Kimmel, A Wolf, RF Widmann.
Conclusion: clinical parameters can be reliably measured in a fully automated system, paving the way for objective analysis of symmetry, body shape pre/post-surgery, and tracking of pathology without ionizing radiation.
