In summary, this study will serve as evidence to guide clinicians in deciding whether to perform the T&A on patients prior to functional therapy based on a wide range of objectively and subjectively measured outcomes and provide a reference for multidisciplinary management of OSA with craniofacial alterations in growing children.

Prospective cohort study on facial profile changes in infants with Robin sequence and healthy controls. C Wiechers, J Sowula, K Kreutzer, et al.

3dMD Customer Research, Genetics, Medical, 3dMDface

For infants up to age three months, 3D images were performed in our neonatal intermediate care unit in the supine position using a 10Hz 3dMDface.t System with this set-up being developed specifically for this study. Subsequently, 3D images were taken in an upright position with infants sitting on their parent’s lap in the department of orthodontics using a 10Hz 3dMDtrio.t system.
