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 3D geometric morphometry in OAVS patients could be a useful tool for objective facial asymmetry assessment in patients with OAVS.
In this study, we conducted a large-scale multi-ethnic meta-analysis of Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS), including 9674 East Asians and 10,115 Europeans, quantitatively assessing 78 facial traits using 3D facial images.
Preoperative and 9-month follow-up cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and 3dMD images were obtained, superimposed, and quantified for skeletal movements and soft tissue changes in six facial regions.
The combination of the 3dMD and CBCT technologies improves the accuracy and fitness of extra- and intra-oral soft tissue reconstruction.
The accuracy of movement recordings was excellent at all speeds (60, 30 and 15 fps), with variability in MAD values consistently being less than 1 mm. The reliability of the camera recordings was excellent at all recording speeds.
There was a longitudinal decrease in soft tissue volume and depth difference in extraoral soft tissues in the region of implant placement after surgery up to 6 weeks. The use of a facial scanner is a promising noninvasive method to monitor 3D morphometric changes after implant surgery.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of a novel surgical technique using force balance reconstruction of the orbicularis oris.
Cluster analyzes of facial models of autistic patients aim to clarify whether it is possible to diagnose autism on the basis of facial features and further to stratify the autism spectrum disorder.
This data-driven method mitigates the risk of human biases in therapeutic evaluations and effectively transitions from static 2D images to dynamic 4D assessments of facial palsy state.
