“…Photogrammetry is the science of photographic measurements, and involves the reconstruction of two-dimensional (2D) and 3D structures from photographic reproductions. It has been used in the fields of medicine and dentistry since the 1940s [32]; however, its first clinical use in orthodontics was reported by Thalmann-Degan in 1944 [33]. A modified and standardized version of this technique is "stereophotogrammetry", wherein two or more stereo-paired cameras coordinate to capture an image simultaneously from different viewpoints and combine the multiple views into a 3D image [34][35][36].…”

Digitalizing all aspects of dental care is a contemporary approach to ensuring the best possible clinical outcomes. Ongoing advancements in 3D face acquisition have been driven by continuous research on craniofacial structures and treatment effects. An array of 3D surface-imaging systems are currently available for generating photorealistic 3D facial images. However, choosing a purpose-specific system is challenging for clinicians due to variations in accuracy, reliability, resolution, and portability. Therefore, this review aims to provide clinicians and researchers with an overview of currently used or potential 3D surface imaging technologies and systems for 3D face acquisition in craniofacial research and daily practice. Through a comprehensive literature search, 71 articles meeting the inclusion criteria were included in the qualitative analysis, investigating the hardware, software, and operational aspects of these systems. The review offers updated information on 3D surface imaging technologies and systems to guide clinicians in selecting an optimal 3D face acquisition system. While some of these systems have already been implemented in clinical settings, others hold promise. Furthermore, driven by technological advances, novel devices will become cost-effective and portable, and will also enable accurate quantitative assessments, rapid treatment simulations, and improved outcomes.
