Facial attractiveness is a common concern among maxillofacial patients, often stemming from underlying skeletal deformities that may require surgical intervention.
40 participants (TMD and TMD-free, mean age of 38.9 ± 15.3 years) had 3D images of their faces recorded using the 3dMDtrio craniofacial system. Each participant was recorded with their mouth in occlusion and fully open.
By using the 3dMD imaging system, we were able to assess the outcomes of an orthodontic treatment approach. The method’s non-invasive nature, precision, simplicity, and child-friendly design make it ideal for routine clinical use—for both diagnosis and treatment—across all age groups, including young children.
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.
3dMD acquire 3D facial images of 195 children aged 7–12 years. They were divided into 12 groups by age (7–8 years group, 9–10 years group,11–12 years group,), gender, and breathing pattern (mouth breathing MB, nasal breathing NB).
The results of this study suggest that NLR may serve as a potential biomarker to predict the severity of postoperative facial oedema and may assist clinicians in their decision-making process when managing the postoperative inflammatory response.
On average, the lateral cephalometric radiographs might provide an adequate representation of the facial profile, but when individual patients are considered, there is often a clinically significant error. Thus, lateral cephalograms should be used with caution to evaluate the facial soft-tissue profile.
The aim of this study was to assess long-term visible volume retention measured with 3-dimensional surface imaging and long-term patient-reported satisfaction 5 years after facial fat grafting.
The pre-treatment CBCT data and pre- and post-treatment 3dMD photos were collected from 86 patients (51 boys and 35 girls) who underwent Twin-block treatment for mandibular retrusion.
