This study included a cohort of 47 patients who were admitted to the Peking University Hospital of Stomatology between 2013 and 2020 for maxillary resection procedures, necessitated by tumours.
A non-ionizing method for facial diagnosis and orthodontic treatment planning combines 3D stereophotogrammetric facial imaging (3dMD) and 3D intra-oral scanning (3Shape).
3dMD images of cleft patients were captured under standardized conditions between 2016 and 2022 and maintained in the database of the Amalia Cleft Palate and Craniofacial Unit of the Radboudumc, Nijmegen, the Netherlands.
An objective plagiocephaly head-shape assessment system aligning with physician-made clinical diagnoses.
This is a cross-sectional study from an ongoing population based study from Rotterdam. Since 2010, the participants have been invited to participate in dermatological examinations that include taking 3D facial photographs with a static 3dMDtrio System (3dMD, Atlanta, USA).
Curvature analysis provides insight into the unexplored relationship of the 3D morphological dynamics of the concavity and convexity of the face, to add to the understanding of this complex condition… could allow surgical treatment to be tailored to an individual patient’s dynamic anatomy by identifying and quantifying facial region-specific asymmetry.
3D scanning effectively assesses facial asymmetry in clinical practice… Evaluating these differences pre-treatment can guide the selection of therapeutic methods to improve facial asymmetry.
These findings may offer further insight to clinicians, educators, and caregivers into the social challenges faced by cleft individuals.
408 patients born between 1991 and 2019, with diagnosed non-syndromic sagittal synostosis, whom underwent FBR, ESC, or SAC in Erasmus MC Sophia Children’s Hospital, and had at least one post-operative 3dMDhead photogrammetry image taken before the age of six, were considered for this study.
