This study included 16 patients with unilateral cleft lip deformities who underwent this procedure from June 2018 to June 2024, with a mean follow-up of 12 months (range 6–36). 3dMD was used to assess philtral projection and lip height before and after surgery.
A retrospective review was conducted on patients with ULC who underwent posterior cranial vault remodeling with switch cranioplasty from both centers. All patients who underwent posterior cranial vault remodeling with occipital switch cranioplasty and had three-dimensional (3D) images obtained pre-operatively and around 2 years post-operatively were included.
Study aims to evaluate the quantitative facial soft tissue changes in relation to the underlying skeletal tissue following L-shaped RM using CT and 3dMD analysis and to investigate the patient’s pre- and post-operative satisfaction as well as surgical outcomes.
This study analyzed imaging data from 192 skeletally matured patients… Both cone-beam computed tomography and 3dMD photographs…
Three-dimensional craniofacial images from 549 children of European descent taken at age 12 months (n = 421 images) and 6 to 8 years (n = 363) were included.
3dMDhead images were obtained preoperatively and postoperatively at 3 weeks, 3 months, 1 year, and 2 years. Head circumference, cephalic index, scaphocephalic index (SCI), frontal bossing index (FBI), occipital bullet index (OBI), and vertex narrowing index (VNI) were measured automatically using the 3dMDvultus Craniometrics Calculator.
3dMD images of cleft patients were captured under standardized conditions between 2016 and 2022 and maintained in the database of the Amalia Cleft Palate and Craniofacial Unit of the Radboudumc, Nijmegen, the Netherlands.
An objective plagiocephaly head-shape assessment system aligning with physician-made clinical diagnoses.
Curvature analysis provides insight into the unexplored relationship of the 3D morphological dynamics of the concavity and convexity of the face, to add to the understanding of this complex condition… could allow surgical treatment to be tailored to an individual patient’s dynamic anatomy by identifying and quantifying facial region-specific asymmetry.
3D scanning effectively assesses facial asymmetry in clinical practice… Evaluating these differences pre-treatment can guide the selection of therapeutic methods to improve facial asymmetry.
