We present a method of computer-assisted orbital floor reconstruction using a mirroring technique and a custom-made titanium or high-density polyethylene mesh printed using computer-aided manufacturing techniques.
For infants up to age three months, 3D images were performed in our neonatal intermediate care unit in the supine position using a 10Hz 3dMDface.t System with this set-up being developed specifically for this study. Subsequently, 3D images were taken in an upright position with infants sitting on their parent’s lap in the department of orthodontics using a 10Hz 3dMDtrio.t system.
This pilot study aimed to evaluate, for the first time, the changes in facial tissues following the placement of a single dental implant.
Applying standard acquisition protocols, 3D neutral expression facial images were captured using 3dMDface systems of participants during their annual visits from 2018 to 2022.
We acquired neutral facial expression 3D images using the 3dMD system. Patients were imaged with a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and/or 3dMD system before and one year after the autologous bone graft (ABG) procedure.
The sample consisted of 20 randomly selected 3D photos at rest (ten 8-12-year-old children and ten 20-40-year-old adults, with equal gender distribution), from a preexisting orthodontic patient sample.
The 3dMDface system was used to capture the nasolabial morphology of the individuals.
The sample of the present retrospective study consisted of 14 MZ twin pairs recruited from the archive of Marmara University. The 3dMDface system was used to capture the twin pairs.
We conducted this study to identify phenotypes of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children based on lifestyle, sleep habits, age, obesity, sex, soft tissue facial features, and specific craniofacial abnormalities.
These results could be attributed to the fact that the placement of the prosthesis in mouth helps directing lip position with big linear measurements.
