Stability of maxilla after segmental Le Fort I osteotomy combined with anterior maxilla clockwise rotation in patients with maxillary hypoplasia: a retrospective study. F Song, X Xu, Z Li, et al.

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.

Profile line accuracy in cephalometric radiographs. ML Arn, J Opacic, G Kanavakis, D Halazonetis, N Gkantidis.

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.
