“…For example, the development of more effective methods for evaluating 3D information, including soft tissue as well as mandible morphology, will allow more precise analyses, both pre- and post-operatively. Three-dimensional imaging analysis incorporating evaluation methods such as 3D vector analysis [ 19 ], Hausdorf distance [ 20 ], and moiré topography [ 21 ] will permit more precise analysis and lead to improved esthetic outcomes. Moreover, the development of a computerized program that simulates human subjective judgment of the reconstructed facial images could also be beneficial in analyzing esthetic outcomes.…”

BackgroundRecently, medical rapid prototyping (MRP) models, fabricated with computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacture (CAD/CAM) techniques, have been applied to reconstructive surgery in the treatment of head and neck cancers. Here, we tested the use of preoperatively manufactured reconstruction plates, which were produced using MRP models. The clinical efficacy and esthetic outcome of using these products in mandibular reconstruction was evaluated.MethodsA series of 28 patients with malignant oral tumors underwent unilateral segmental resection of the mandible and simultaneous mandibular reconstruction. Twelve patients were treated with prebent reconstruction plates that were molded to MRP mandibular models designed with CAD/CAM techniques and fabricated on a combined powder bed and inkjet head three-dimensional printer. The remaining 16 patients were treated using conventional reconstruction methods. The surgical and esthetic outcomes of the two groups were compared by imaging analysis using post-operative panoramic tomography.ResultsThe mandibular symmetry in patients receiving the MRP-model-based prebent plates was significantly better than that in patients receiving conventional reconstructive surgery.ConclusionsPatients with head and neck cancer undergoing reconstructive surgery using a prebent reconstruction plate fabricated according to an MRP mandibular model showed improved mandibular contour compared to patients undergoing conventional mandibular reconstruction. Thus, use of this new technology for mandibular reconstruction results in an improved esthetic outcome with the potential for improved quality of life for patients.

“…22 Here, we examined the effectiveness of the NAM method for improving the morphology of the naris after primary cheiloplasty by comparing the morphology of the nares using various parameters, including the Hausdorff distance. Thus, there are few reports evaluating the correlation between nasal morphology and jawbone deformity.…”

“…From all the steps of CLP management protocol, the step of PSIO is considered as the most doubtful. The researchers' recommendations of PSIO usage were swinging between strong promoters [9], [10], [11], [12] and heavy opponents [5], [13], [14], [15], [16]. According to the latest systematic reviews [17], [18], [19], [20], NAM was considered as the most effective type of PSIO, depending on the available low-quality evidence.…”

AIM: Acceptance and compliance of the parents are an essential pillar in the success of pre-surgical infant orthopedic (PSIO) treatment. The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate the burden of care associated with the alveolar molding (AM) and nasoalveolar molding (NAM) appliances as experienced by the parents with unilateral complete cleft lip and palate (UCLP) infants. METHODS: An electronic search was carried on by two reviewers in eight search engines, as well as a manual search till July 2019. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing AM/NAM appliances to controls in infants with UCLP were selected. Risk of bias was evaluated using Cochrane risk of bias assessment tool for RCTs. RESULTS: One RCT was included in the qualitative analysis. Non-significant differences were found in the amount of mothers’ satisfaction between the intervention and control groups. CONCLUSIONS: Insufficient low-quality evidence is available regarding the effects of AM and NAM on parents’ satisfaction and burden of care. No conclusions can be withdrawn from the existing studies. High-quality research is needed to elucidate the degree of parents’ acceptance to the molding appliances. PROSPERO registration number: CRD42016043174.
