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.

The detection of the upper boundary of breasts using 4D scanning technology. J Pei, L Griffin, SP Ashdown, J Fan.

One of the first studies that investigates the vertical displacement and the shape deformation of breasts during running using 4D scanning technology. Ultimately, the method and results can increase the understanding of breast kinematics, and benefit the product design of bras, especially for sports bras, and other products for women that require a close fit to the torso.

A Comparison of 3D Facial Features in a Population from Zimbabwe and United States. E Bhaskar, CH Kau.

Date: February 2020. Source: European Journal of Dentistry, 14(01): 100-106, DOI: 10.1055/s-0040-1702258. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the differences in three-dimensional (3D) facial features in a population from Zimbabwe and the United States. In addition, this study seeks to establish an average facial template of each population allowing clinicians to treat…
