Osaka University researchers used the 3dMDhead System to track dynamic facial soft-tissue coordination during mastication, revealing impaired lip synchrony in children with lip incompetence.
Xi’an Jiaotong University researchers used 3dMD 3D facial imaging to compare soft tissue and facial esthetic outcomes between clear aligner mandibular advancement and Activator treatment.
University of Bern researchers used 3dMD 3D facial photography as the reference standard to quantify the accuracy limits of routine 2D clinical facial photographs for soft-tissue assessment.
Houston Methodist researchers used 3dMD post-operative facial scans to train a physics-informed neural network for real-time orthognathic surgery planning.
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.
BC Children’s Hospital and UBC researchers used 3dMD stereophotogrammetry to examine facial morphometric associations with sleep-disordered breathing risk in children.
Bristol 3D Medical Centre is a dedicated centre for in-house medical 3D design and 3D printing. It hosts a variety of medical device design software, state-of-the-art 3D printers, high-performance 3D surface scanners and advanced technology used to aid healthcare.
Tufts University researchers used 3dMD 3D facial photography and geometric morphometrics to examine relationships between facial shape and self-perceived self-esteem in young adults.
Three-dimensional facial soft tissue morphology was recorded in each of the 20 female subjects using a 3D surface imaging device (3dMDface System) before and after placement of the experimental canine at rest and in the three types of smiles.
By adopting the 3dMD dynamic system, we captured, for the first time, a significant increase in RMS values during key facial movements, including smile lips open, lip purse, and cheek puff, following traction treatment. As an orthopedic treatment, anterior traction provides a structural basis for the forward development of the maxilla by stimulating the patient’s own growth potential and promoting bone suture reconstruction.
