Abstract:
Facial soft tissue shape is an important factor to improve the attractiveness of the appearance. With the improvement of three-dimensional (3D) stereophotography in terms of accuracy, reproducibility, and automation, it can accurately reflect the soft tissue changes brought about by orthodontic or orthognathic surgery and promote doctor-patient communication, and has been widely used for pretreatment diagnosis, preoperative simulation, and postoperative follow-up. This article summarizes the research progress of digital 3D measurement of facial soft tissues, and expounds the development history and application prospect of this field from the aspects of accuracy of 3D radiography, determination of craniofacial landmark points and reference planes, medical application and prospect of 3D measurement of facial soft tissues, in order to provide a reference for clinical diagnosis, treatment and efficacy evaluation of orthodontics, orthognathic and plastic surgery.
