The present study used the optical surface laser scanning technique to compare the facial features of patients aged 8-18 years presenting with Class I and Class III incisor relationship in a case-control design.
Subjects with a Class III incisor relationship, aged 8-18 years, were age and gender matched with Class I control and underwent a 3-dimensional (3-D) optical surface scan of the facial soft tissues.
Landmark analysis revealed Class III subjects displayed greater mean dimensions compared to the control group most notably between the ages of 8-10 and 17-18 years in both males and females, in respect of antero-posterior (P = 0.01) and vertical (P = 0.006) facial dimensions. Surface-based analysis, revealed the greatest difference in the lower facial region, followed by the mid-face, whilst the upper face remained fairly consistent.
Significant detectable differences were found in the surface facial features of developing Class III subjects.
本研究采用光学表面激光扫描技术,通过病例对照设计比较8至18岁患有安氏I类和安氏III类切牙关系患者的面部特征。
选取8至18岁患有安氏III类切牙关系的受试者,与安氏I类对照组进行年龄和性别匹配,并对其面部软组织进行三维光学表面扫描。
地标分析显示,与对照组相比,安氏III类受试者在前后(P = 0.01)和垂直(P = 0.006)面部尺寸方面,平均尺寸更大,在8至10岁和17至18岁的男性和女性中最为明显。基于表面的分析显示,面部下部区域差异最大,其次是中面部,而上面部保持相当一致。
在发育中的安氏III类受试者的面部表面特征中发现了显著的可检测差异。
