To compare three-dimensional facial scans obtained by stereophotogrammetry with two different applications for smartphone supporting the TrueDepth system, a structured light technology.Facial of 40 subjects were acquired three systems. The 3dMDtrio Stereophotogrammetry System (3dMD, Atlanta, Ga) was compared (iPhone Xs; Apple, Cupertino, Calif) equipped Bellus3D Face Application (version 1.6.11; Inc, Campbell, or Capture 1.2.5; Standard Cyborg San Francisco, Calif). Times image acquisition...
Background: Attachments are composite auxiliaries that used during a clear aligner orthodontic therapy to achieve difficult tooth movements. Two important factors the planned configuration and actual position of these auxiliary elements obtain desired force system. The aim present study was evaluate role different materials in correct reproduction attachment shape position. Methods: were considered flowable resin, dental restorative material, an composite. attachments created on three models...
Background and Objectives: Previous literature has disclosed that facial attractiveness affects the esthetic evaluation of nose lip deformity on frontal lateral photographs. However, it never been debated if removal external features three-dimensional (3D) models ("cropped assessment bias") could provide a considerable usefulness in interpretation comparison results. Additionally, assumed two-dimensional (2D) studies biases with respect to observer gender, is not acknowledged extent "gender...
Post-oncological nasal reconstruction presents both aesthetic and functional challenges. While established methods exist for quantitatively evaluating results following surgery, equivalent systems assessing outcomes are lacking. Three-dimensional (3D) photogrammetry, already used in maxillofacial orthodontic surgery evaluation, overcomes some limitations of traditional like direct anthropometry. However, its applicability oncological facial has not yet been explored. In our study, we applied...
Background: Class II subdivision is an asymmetric condition presenting a I dental occlusion on one side and the contralateral one. It presents midline deviation that may be caused by monolateral distalization of mandible (type 1) or mesialization maxilla 2). The evaluation asymmetry based 2D radiographic records has been demonstrated to less accurate than made using 3D radiographs. Objective: aim this work evaluate facial in group patients with subdivision, compared without evident...
Craniosynostosis are a heterogeneous group of genetic conditions characterized by the premature fusion skull bones. The most common forms craniosynostosis Crouzon, Apert and Pfeiffer syndromes. They differ from each other in various additional clinical manifestations, e.g., syndactyly is typical rare syndrome. Their inheritance autosomal dominant with incomplete penetrance one main genes responsible for these syndromes FGFR2, mapped on chromosome 10, encoding fibroblast growth factor...
