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.
The primary outcome variables was swelling and secondary outcome variables were pain and trismus. Swelling was evaluated using the 3dMDface System.

This study included a cohort of 47 patients who were admitted to the Peking University Hospital of Stomatology between 2013 and 2020 for maxillary resection procedures, necessitated by tumours.
A non-ionizing method for facial diagnosis and orthodontic treatment planning combines 3D stereophotogrammetric facial imaging (3dMD) and 3D intra-oral scanning (3Shape).
Between September 2016 and April 2018, all 118 middle-aged Caucasian male subjects were capture with the 3dMDface.t System using a novel technique for the registration of head position during image acquisition. The 3D surface structures were assessed using 3dMDvultus software and 36 surface variables were analyzed including linear, angular measurements, and proportions.
All patients underwent 3dMD scans prior to orthodontic treatment. Then the differences in the 3D morphological parameters of the facial soft tissues were compared between different sexes and different types of malocclusion.
