Influence of Head Circumference on the Accuracy of Facial Scanning: An In vitro Study.
This study aimed to investigate the impact of head circumference on the accuracy of three-dimensional (3D) facial scans, focusing on trueness and precision.
Thermal facial image analyses reveal quantitative hallmarks of aging and metabolic diseases. Z Yu, Y Zhou, K Mao, B Pang, K Wang, T Jin, H Zheng, H Zhai, Y Wang, X Xu, H Liu, Y Wang, JDJ Han.
We collected thermal and 3dMD facial images of 2,811 Han Chinese individuals 20–90 years old, developed the ThermoFace method to automatically process and analyze images, and then generated thermal age and disease prediction models.
Precise maxillofacial soft tissue reconstruction: A combination of cone beam computed tomography and 3dMD photogrammetry system. K Guo, M Li, J Qi, S Han, X Wu, F Guo.
The combination of the 3dMD and CBCT technologies improves the accuracy and fitness of extra- and intra-oral soft tissue reconstruction.
Delayed Orbital Floor Reconstruction Using Mirroring Technique and Patient-Specific Implants: Proof of Concept. D D’Alpaos, G Badiali, F Ceccariglia, A Tarsitano.
We present a method of computer-assisted orbital floor reconstruction using a mirroring technique and a custom-made titanium or high-density polyethylene mesh printed using computer-aided manufacturing techniques.
Network analysis of three-dimensional hard-soft tissue relationships in the lower 1/3 of the face: Skeletal Class I-normodivergent malocclusion versus Class II-hyperdivergent malocclusion. T Wang, K Nie, Y Fan, G Chen, K Xu, G Song, B Han, Y Pei, T Xu.
The aim of this study was to clarify the hard-soft tissue relationships of the lower 1/3 of the face in skeletal Class II-hyperdivergent patients compared with those in Class I-normodivergent patients using network analysis.
A novel technique for implant-supported fixed complete rehabilitation based on a dynamic virtual patient. J Wang, YL Wu, J Ma, F Wu, DH Li.
The novel technique for ISFCP fabrication described in this paper can help optimise the clinical efficiency and quality of ISFCP but requires an initial learning curve.
