“…However, the application of 3dMD for postoperative facial assessment of edentulous jaw patients is less reported nowadays, making this study is highly innovative. [18][19][20][21][22] Additionally, 3D Facial Scanning technology can effectively validate the facial transformation before and after dental implant restoration in toothless patients. This technology may aid surgeons in planning surgery more precisely and enhance communication between physicians and patient.…”

Background: Edentulous patients often experience psychological occlusal fatigue, dysphonia and facial deformity which severely decreased quality of life. Recovery of facial aesthetic is one of important concerns of dentulous patients, however, traditional two-dimensional pictures are not enough to accurately evaluate the three-dimensional changes in patients after full-arch implant restoration. Facial scanning technology, a cutting-edge validation method for facial transformation evaluation device, makes it possible to realize high-precision facial scanning and measuring. Methods: Edentulous patients were prospectively enrolled in this study. Preoperative and postoperative Cone beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) and intra-oral scans were obtained for each patient. The CBCT and intra-oral images were then imported into the three dimensional (3D) facial scanner, where they were reconstructed into three-dimensional models for evaluation. Results: A total of 10 patients were included in this study. All edentulous patients underwent three-dimensional facial scanning before and after implant restoration and were evaluated for facial aesthetic parameters. The mean age of the patients was 64.9 ± 11.4 years (range, 38–78 years), and the mean follow-up time was 12 months (range, 3–24 months). All patients had satisfactory outcomes without major complications. This method accurately validates the postoperative facial transformation in all patients. All measured aesthetic parameters suggest that the patient received a very favorable improvement in the contour of the face. Conclusions: By a high precision scanner that oral implant restorations can effectively improve the convexity of the lower third of the face and lips in edentulous jaw patients, thus realizing an improvement in facial aesthetics.

“…[ 60 , 61 ] After evaluating the changes of facial soft-tissue before and 6 months after the surgery in 13 patients through CT and stereophotogrammetry, Ullah et al found that it is clinically acceptable to predict facial soft-tissue changes through 3D optical measurement. [ 62 ] Using 3D optical devices to assist the formulation of surgical plan and the evaluation of curative effect cleft lip and palate is another application in stomatology. By comparing 3D facial morphology between children with cleft lip and palate and healthy children using laser-based scanning, Djordjevic et al evaluated the effect of cleft lip and palate repair in an objective way.…”

Background: The accuracy of 3-dimensional (3D) optical devices for facial soft-tissue measurement is essential to the success of clinical treatment in stomatology. The aim of the present systematic review was to summarize the accuracy of 3D optical devices used for facial soft-tissue assessment in stomatology. Methods: An extensive systematic literature search was performed in the PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus and Cochrane Library databases for studies published in the English language up to May 2022 in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines. Peer-reviewed journal articles evaluating the facial soft-tissue morphology by 3D optical devices were included. The risk of bias was performed using the Quality Assessment Tool for Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 guidelines by the 2 reviewers. The potential publication bias was analyzed using the Review Manager software. Results: The query returned 1853 results. A total of 38 studies were included in this review. Articles were categorized based on the principle of devices: laser-based scanning, structured-light scanning, stereophotogrammetry and red, green, blue-depth camera. Conclusion: Overall, the 3D optical devices demonstrated excellent accuracy and reliability for facial soft-tissue measurement in stomatology. red, green, blue-depth camera can collect accurate static and dynamic 3D facial scans with low cost and high measurement accuracy. Practical needs and availability of resources should be considered when these devices are used in clinical settings.

“…Studies have shown that software programs can produce clinically acceptable soft tissue predictions in craniofacial reconstruction, head and neck reconstruction, and orthognathic patients. 20,21 This is particularly useful in understanding facial symmetry, but the accuracy and reproducibility has its inherent challenges with hair covering the skull. It has also been reported that operator and recalibration errors are negligible as seen across other similar 3D imaging systems.…”

Introduction: True isolated lambdoid craniosynostosis is rare. It requires corrective surgery to prevent intracranial pressure and aesthetic stigma by significant dyscrania. We summarize our case series for lambdoid craniosynostosis outlining the pathophysiology, clinical findings and surgical approaches and outcomes. Methodology: A retrospective analysis of our data from 2010 to 2020 summarized our cases of true lambdoid synostosis. We have used the medical notes and the radiological findings from computed tomography scans to summarize a case series of isolated lambdoid synostosis. Results: Our case series demonstrated 7 patients with true isolated lambdoid craniosynostosis. In most cases surgical intervention in the form of posterior cranial vault remodeling utilizing a bandeau, based on occipital advancement techniques, has demonstrated the most consistently favorable aesthetic outcome. Conclusions: Surgical referral to a craniofacial center should be sought early in difficult to diagnose cases. Although rare, surgical intervention is indicated to correct potentially increased intracranial pressure and to ameliorate cranial dyscrania.
