Three-dimensional imaging in orthognathic surgery: the clinical application of a new method.
Many 3-dimensional (3D) techniques have been utilized to register and analyze the face in 3 dimensions, but each system has its own merits and disadvantages. C3D is a relatively new 3D imaging system that was developed to capture the 3D geometry of the face. Landmark identification on 3D facial models is facilitated by a software-based facial analysis tool developed by the authors. The reproduc...
متن کاملThree-dimensional simulation of orthognathic surgery-surgeon's perspective.
Orthognathic surgery (OGS) is a powerful procedure used to correct several types of facial deformity. By altering the position of maxillary, mandibular, and chin segments after osteotomy, the facial bony structure and soft-tissue envelope can be harmonized, leading to substantial esthetic and functional improvement of facial appearance and dentoalveolar complex. Because of the meticulous nature...
متن کاملVisualizing three-dimensional facial soft tissue changes following orthognathic surgery.
Laser scanning can be used to visualize the face in three dimensions. These scans can then be processed to enable assessment of facial changes. The aim of this single-centre, prospective, longitudinal, cohort study was to investigate whether four different visualization methods correctly represented facial changes occurring as a result of orthognathic surgery. Twenty-six consecutive orthognathi...
متن کاملSimulated Patient for Orthognathic Surgery
Orthognathic surgery corrects a wide range of minor and major facial and jaw irregularities. This surgery will improve the patients’ ability to chew, speak and breathe. In many cases, a better appearance will also result. With the recent advances in virtual reality (VR) and three-dimensional (3D) medical imaging technology, orthognathic surgery simulations typically requires costly volumetric d...
متن کاملChanges of the Posterior Airway Space Following Orthognathic Surgery in Class III
Objective: Adaptation of the pharyngeal airway space does occur after different surgical strategies of class III patients including mandibular setback, maxillary advancement and bimaxillary surgery. The aim of this study is to conduct a detailed cephalometric evaluation of the alterations taking place in the morphology of the pharyngeal airway space after treatment of class III skeletal deformi...
