THREE-DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS OF THE FACIAL SOFT TISSUES

For the diagnostic procedures and treatment planning official deformities we are using standard imaging diagnostic procedures focused on facial bones, but the appearance is determined also by their soft tissues. So the analysis of the face as integrity, is problem partially solved by standard photograph, but their analysis is very difficult and subjective, so the modern technology is developing the computer system for face soft tissue analysis on the basis of digital facial scans of the face surface. These images of the face are done by laser scans or by, using optical while-light-scanner Atos II.. The method of three-dimensional scanning and digital analysis of the face are developing together maxillofacial surgeons and engineers in design lab.
