Oral opening and other selected facial dimensions of children 6 weeks to 36 months of age

Palatal development of preterm and low birthweight infants compared to term infants – What do we know? Part 1: The palate of the term newborn

“…In order to validate clinical impressions, there is a need for measuring palates. Manufactureres would benefit from metric information to design save products [ 70 ].…”

Fostering design for avoiding small parts in commonly used objects

“…For example, we can create digital models of products in our injury and fatality database for which we have size and shape information. This models have several advantages for the assessment of risk in small children like a more anatomically accurate data due to their development using actual patient data; furthermore separate models for children 1, 2 or 3 years old allow risk to be assessed more specifically for various ages of children [12]; noticing that the models and the process of risk assessment are computer-based means that risk assessments and results can be displayed in a large variety of ways; and last, the computer databases for the models and foreign objects can be modified and expanded relatively easily.…”

Palatal development of preterm and low birthweight infants compared to term infants – What do we know? Part 3: Discussion and Conclusion

“…The information would be extremely valuable for the health care professional treating posttrauma patients or patients with craniofacial anomalies [ 9 , 10 ]. Manufacturers also would benefit from metrical information [ 11 ] for example for designing appropriate pacifiers. Data for height and weight are available up to 36 months of age, but there is lack of information on oral dimensions [ 10 ].…”
