Quantitative analysis of facial symmetry by using three-dimensional technology. Z Wu, X Gao, H Long et al.
The chin and lateral mandible contribute most significantly to the facial symmetry. The objective measurement of facial symmetry, 3D technology, is reliable.
Mother and Daughter Carrying of the Same Pathogenic Variant in FGFR2 with Discordant Phenotype. F Lo Vecchio, E Tabolacci, V Nobile, MG Pomponi, R Pietrobono, G Neri, S Amenta, E Candida, C Grippaudo, E Lo Cascio et al.
Craniosynostosis are a heterogeneous group of genetic conditions characterized by the premature fusion of the skull bones. The most common forms of craniosynostosis are Crouzon, Apert and Pfeiffer syndromes.
Volumetric effect and patient satisfaction after facial fat grafting. AJ Tuin, RH Schepers, FKL Spijkervet, A Vissink, J Jansma.
We aimed to assess the overall and more specifically the local volumetric effects of facial fat grafting and relate these effects to patient satisfaction up to one year after treatment.
Smile Reproducibility and Its Relationship to Self-Perceived Smile Attractiveness. D Dobreva, N Gkantidis, D Halazonetis, C Verna, G Kanavakis.
Our results show that lip morphology during smiling is highly consistent among young adults. Females presented higher consistency in the shape of the smile, including lip morphology, compared to males. Self-perceived smile attractiveness was not associated to smile consistency.
Does Preventive Single Dose of Intravenous Dexketoprofen Reduce Pain and Swelling After Orthognathic Surgery? A Prospective, Randomized, Double Blind Clinical Trial. YN Kaba, AE Demirbaş, N Kütük, DG Canpolat, A Alkan.
Preventive administration of intravenous dexketoprofen provides adequate analgesic effect in the postoperative 24-hour period and reduces opioid consumption in orthognathic surgery.

Novel Digital Workflow for Nasoalveolar Molding and Postoperative Nasal Stent for Infants With Cleft Lip and Palate. CB Carter, FF Gallardo, HE Colburn, DW Schlieder.
We present a novel digital workflow to provide presurgical infant orthopedic (PSIO) treatment for a patient with a unilateral cleft lip/palate utilizing nasoalveolar molding (NAM) and a custom postsurgical nasal stent.
Development of Personalized Non-Invasive Ventilation Interfaces for Neonatal and Pediatric Application Using Additive Manufacturing. M Bockstedte, AB Xepapadeas, S Spintzyk, CF Poets, B Koos, M Aretxabaleta.
Patient individualized oronasal and nasal masks were produced. An automated design workflow and use of additive manufacturing enabled a fast and feasible procedure.
Genetic variants underlying differences in facial morphology in East Asian and European populations. M Zhang, S Wu, S Du, et al.
Evolutionary analyses suggest that the difference in nose shape between EUR and EAS populations is caused by a directional selection, due mainly to a local adaptation in Europeans. Our results illustrate the underlying genetic basis for facial differences across populations.
