Three Dimensional Imaging: an Impact in Orthodontics – a Review

Three-dimensional imaging techniques: A literature review

Imaging is one of the most important tools for orthodontists to evaluate and record size and form of craniofacial structures. Orthodontists routinely use 2-dimensional (2D) static imaging techniques, but deepness of structures cannot be obtained and localized with 2D imaging. Three-dimensional (3D) imaging has been developed in the early of 1990's and has gained a precious place in dentistry, e...

The Digital Decade in Interdisciplinary Orthodontics

Modern treatment of adult patients with complex dental problems often requires an interdisciplinary collaboration between different specialties of dental medicine among them frequently orthodontics: interdisciplinary orthodontics. Good diagnostic tools and easy communication are essential in such complicated cases. Computer technology has an increasing impact in the practice of orthodontics; ev...

Accuracy and characteristics of cephalometric software programs for outcome prediction of orthognathic treatments: A review

Several software programs have been designed for outcome prediction of orthodontic and surgical treatments. This study aimed to review the accuracy and characteristics of cephalometric software programs for outcome prediction of orthognathic surgeries. This study reviewed studies that compared cephalometric software programs in terms of accuracy and characteristics for outcome prediction of o...

Evaluation of Intrauterine Structural Pathology by Three-Dimensional Sonohysterography Using An Extended Imaging Method

The use of three-dimensional imaging in orthodontics.

The article illustrates the value of three-dimensional imaging of the face and jaws in the diagnosis and treatment of patients. The applications of programs that have been written for the analysis of facial form are also described, including registration and prediction. The use of the Procrustes analysis is demonstrated in groups of children and adults to differentiate between male and female f...
