Fat graft transfer in children's facial malformations: A prospective three-dimensional evaluation. M Guibert, G Franchi, E Ansari, B Billotet, PA Diner, S Cassier, MP Vazquez, A Picard, N Kadlub.

Date: June 2013. Source: Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery, 66(6):799-804. Introduction: Autologous fat grafting for volume augmentation in soft tissues has grown in popularity in the paediatric plastic surgery community, despite a lack of quantifiable evidence of graft survival and predictable outcomes for child patients. The objective of this study is to quantify,…

Flat Fold and Cup-Shaped N95 Filtering Facepiece Respirator Face Seal Area and Pressure Determinations: A Stereophotogrammetry Study. G Niezgoda, JH Kim, RJ Roberge, SM Benson.

Date: May 2013. Source: Journal of Occupational and Environmental Hygiene, Volume 10, Issue 8, pp 419-424. Abstract: Twenty subjects underwent quantitative respirator fit testing with two styles (flat fold, cup-shaped) of N95 filtering facepiece respirators (N95 FFRs). Passing a fit test was followed by stereophotogrammetry to determine the face seal area and computation of seal…

Three-dimensional reproducibility of natural head position. DW Weber, DW Fallis, MD Packerc.

Date: May 2013 Source: American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, Volume 143, Issue 5, pp 738-744. Introduction: Although natural head position has proven to be reliable in the sagittal plane, with an increasing interest in 3-dimensional craniofacial analysis, a determination of its reproducibility in the coronal and axial planes is essential. This study was…

Three-dimensional evaluation of unilateral cleft rhinoplasty results. TK Dixon, BP Caughlin, N Munaretto, DM Toriumi.

Date: April 2013 Source: Facial Plastic Surgery.; 29(2): 106-15. doi: 10.1055/s-0033-1341588. Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) imaging is a relatively new method of objectively evaluating surgical results, allowing the surgeon to accurately measure postsurgical changes with little inconvenience to the patient. Its accuracy and reliability has been consistently demonstrated in the literature. This article describes updated methods…

Unilateral Condylar Hyperplasia: A 3-Dimensional Quantification of Asymmetry. TJ Verhoeven, JW Nolte, TJJ Maal, SJ Bergé, AG Becking.

Date: March 2013. Source: PLoS ONE.org. Purpose: Objective quantifications of facial asymmetry in patients with Unilateral Condylar Hyperplasia (UCH) have not yet been described in literature. The aim of this study was to objectively quantify soft-tissue asymmetry in patients with UCH and to compare the findings with a control group using a new method. Material…

Soft-Tissue Volumetric Changes Following Monobloc Distraction Procedure: Analysis Using Digital Three-Dimensional Photogrammetry System (3dMD). FC Chan, HK Kawamoto, C Federico, JP Bradley.

Date: March 2013. Source: Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, Volume 24, Issue 2, pp 416-420. Abstract: We have previously reported that monobloc advancement by distraction osteogenesis resulted in decreased morbidity and greater advancement with less relapse compared with acute monobloc advancement with bone grafting. In this study, we examine the three-dimensional (3D) volumetric soft-tissue changes in…

Multimodal registration of three-dimensional maxillodental cone beam CT and photogrammetry data over time. N Bolandzadeh, W Bischof, C Flores-Mir, P Boulanger.

Date: February 2013. Source: Dentomaxillofacial Radiology, Volume 42, Issue 2. Objectives: In recent years, one of the foci of orthodontics has been on systems for the evaluation of treatment results and the tracking of tissue variations over time. This can be accomplished through analysing three-dimensional (3D) orthodontic images obtained before and after the treatments. Since…
