Abstract:

OMFS-IMPATH Research Group, University Hospital of Leuven, 3000 Leuven, Belgium.Since the 3D facial scanning technology became available, its popularity has rapidly increased mainly due to its non-invasive and non-ionizing properties. This 3D technology gives a realistic representation of the head and face of the patient, which can be used to analyze maxillofacial deformities and surgical outcome as well as orthodontic diagnosis, treatment plan, relapse problems and followup. In this lecture based on a recent study, the 3D facial scanning is compared to the classical 2D clinical photography for orthodontic analysis. During diagnosis and post-treatment assessment, the combination of 3D facial scan and CBCT in a single-step-procedure could then be considered
