Perception Of Profile Appearance As Judged By Peers Using 3d Video Imaging, Megan G. Schuler
Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this study was to investigate the social perceptions of subjects with differing lip position and facial convexity in three dimensions. A 3dMD camera (3dMD, Atlanta, GA) was used to capture 3D images of 9 subjects’ faces. The images were altered to have ideal lip position and ideal convexity, ideal lip position and Class II convexity, Class II lip position and ideal convexity, and Class II lip position and Class II convexity. 400 laypersons rated their perceptions of the subjects’ athletic ability, popularity, leadership, and intelligence on a VAS scale. Subjects with ideal lip position relative to the …
Three-Dimensional Photographic Evaluation Of Immediate Soft Tissue Changes Following Rapid Maxillary Expansion, Nathan Granillo
Three-Dimensional Photographic Evaluation Of Immediate Soft Tissue Changes Following Rapid Maxillary Expansion, Nathan Granillo
Theses and Dissertations
The skeletal and dental changes associated with rapid maxillary expansion (RME) are well documented. Effects on the soft tissues and the potential impact on facial esthetics have not been well researched. The purpose of this study was to evaluate immediate changes in facial soft tissues as a result of RME by comparing threedimensional digital photogrammetric images before and after RME treatment. The 3dMDface System was used to obtain photographic images of 21 patients (mean age = 11.8 years) before and after RME treatment for transverse maxillary deficiency. A control group of 13 patients (mean age = 12.7 years) also had …
