Facial asymmetry assessment in skeletal Class III patients with spatially-dense geometric morphometrics. Y Fan, W He, G Chen, G Song, H Matthews, P Claes, R Jiang, T Xu.

Soft tissue asymmetry is predominately presented in the lower-third of the face in skeletal Class III patients and with various variations on other facial anatomical regions. Morphometric techniques and computer intensive analysis have allowed sophisticated quantification and visualization of the pointwise asymmetry on the full face.

Lip morphology estimation models based on three-dimensional images in a modern adult population from China. Jm Zhao, Ll Ji, Mq Han et al.

Lips are the main part of the lower facial soft tissue and are vital to forensic facial approximation (FFA). Facial soft tissue thickness (FSTT) and linear measurements in three dimensions are used in the quantitative analysis of lip morphology. With most FSTT analysis methods, the surface of soft tissue is unexplicit. Our study aimed to determine FSTT and explore the relationship between the hard and soft tissues of lips in different skeletal occlusions based on cone-beam CT (CBCT) and 3dMD images in a Chinese population.
