Evaluation of the influencing factors on facial development for mouth breathing children: Insights from 3D scanning technology. B Cheng, AS Mohamed, H Li, Y Li, J Liu, L Liu, R Zou, F Wang.

3dMD acquire 3D facial images of 195 children aged 7–12 years. They were divided into 12 groups by age (7–8 years group, 9–10 years group,11–12 years group,), gender, and breathing pattern (mouth breathing MB, nasal breathing NB).

Evaluation of the effect of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio on facial oedema after orthognathic surgery: a 12-month follow-up study. C Varol, Y Fındık, T Baykul.

The results of this study suggest that NLR may serve as a potential biomarker to predict the severity of postoperative facial oedema and may assist clinicians in their decision-making process when managing the postoperative inflammatory response.

Anterior Craniofacial Changes Following Occipital Switch Cranioplasty in Unilateral Lambdoid Craniosynostosis. LM Harrison, K Prezelski, RR Hallac, et al.

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.

Three-dimensional facial soft-tissue changes after L-shaped Reduction Malarplasty: A pilot retrospective study. X Sun, Y Wei, H Younis, Z Zhou, H Ge, J Li.

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.

Two-Year Progressive Cranial Changes Following the Melbourne Technique for Sagittal Craniosynostosis. LM Harrison, K Prezelski, RR Hallac, AA Kane, P Sanati-Mehrizy.

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.

Dynamic three-dimensional facial topography in pediatric facial palsy: Understanding asymmetrical facial contours. K Prezelskia, J Cheng, RR Hallac.

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.
