Facial attractiveness is a common concern among maxillofacial patients, often stemming from underlying skeletal deformities that may require surgical intervention.
This study analyzed 3D anthropometric data of 2016 Chilean workers to support the design of personal protective equipment (PPE) tailored to their physical characteristics.
40 participants (TMD and TMD-free, mean age of 38.9 ± 15.3 years) had 3D images of their faces recorded using the 3dMDtrio craniofacial system. Each participant was recorded with their mouth in occlusion and fully open.
A 4.5-year-old girl with achondroplasia was referred because of a poor fit of commercially available NIV masks. A facial scan allowed the design of a personalized nasal mask using Fusion 360 software in a semi-automated workflow.
By using the 3dMD imaging system, we were able to assess the outcomes of an orthodontic treatment approach. The method’s non-invasive nature, precision, simplicity, and child-friendly design make it ideal for routine clinical use—for both diagnosis and treatment—across all age groups, including young children.
A total of 30 patients were imaged with a NewTom CBCT and 3Shape intraoral scanner. Natural head position was recorded with a 3dMD surface imaging system combined with and a SaiWei laser level. Skeletal, dental, and textured surface morphologies were superimposed based the laser level markers.
A retrospective review of pre-NAM and 10 weekly 3D craniofacial images of patients diagnosed with BCLP who underwent NAM therapy. 3dMD craniofacial images were acquired pre-NAM and each of the 11 weeks during NAM therapy. Virtual 3D-derived models were analyzed using 3dMDvultus.
This study included 16 patients with unilateral cleft lip deformities who underwent this procedure from June 2018 to June 2024, with a mean follow-up of 12 months (range 6–36). 3dMD was used to assess philtral projection and lip height before and after surgery.
3dMD acquire 3D facial images of 195 children aged 7–12 years. They were divided into 12 groups by age (7–8 years group, 9–10 years group,11–12 years group,), gender, and breathing pattern (mouth breathing MB, nasal breathing NB).
