Effects of Rapid Maxillary Expansion on Hard and Soft Facial Tissues in Children with Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate: A Correlation Study. M Zreaqat, R Hassan.

Researchers used 3dMD 3D stereophotogrammetry alongside CBCT to show rapid maxillary expansion significantly increases nasal hard and soft tissue width in children with unilateral cleft lip and palate.

3D Assessment of Root Resorption and Soft Tissue Adaptations in Surgery-First vs. Early Orthognathic Surgery: A Randomized Clinical Trial. H Saraç Kale, G Çoban, AE Demirbaş, et al.

Erciyes University researchers used 3dMDface system and 3dMDvultus software alongside CBCT to compare root resorption and soft tissue outcomes between surgery-first and surgery-early orthognathic approaches.

Stability of maxilla after segmental Le Fort I osteotomy combined with anterior maxilla clockwise rotation in patients with maxillary hypoplasia: a retrospective study. F Song, X Xu, Z Li, et al.

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.
