It is necessary to analyze and monitor the facial growth of orofacial cleft patients. The documentation should therefore begin before and after primary surgeries. Technological evolution has transformed plaster models into 3D images through scanners that allow rational storage, manipulation, and rotation without the possibility of breakage or damage. Based on this fact, this narrative review aims to provide a feature on the three-dimensional tools available for the assessment of dental arches in children with orofacial cleft and mixed dentition.
Three databases were chosen (PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Scopus) and keywords were used to select papers.
During the database screening, 292 potentially relevant papers were found. After removing duplicates, titles, and abstracts, 32 papers presented qualifications for analysis. Through evaluating each document by reading it one by one, 24 papers fulfilled the eligibility criteria.
It was concluded that digital tools-i.e., benchtop scanners which evaluate the dental arches of children with cleft lip, palate, and mixed dentition-are reproducible and reliable, without the use of ionizing radiation, allow storage, manipulation with sustainability, and help preserve the environment.
分析和监测口腔颌面裂患者的面部生长情况很有必要。因此，记录工作应在初次手术前后开始。技术的发展已通过扫描仪将石膏模型转变为三维图像，这种扫描仪可实现合理存储、操作和旋转，且不存在破损或损坏的可能性。基于这一事实，本叙述性综述旨在介绍可用于评估口腔颌面裂和混合牙列儿童牙弓的三维工具的特点。
选择了三个数据库（PubMed、ScienceDirect和Scopus），并使用关键词筛选论文。
在数据库筛选过程中，共找到292篇潜在相关论文。去除重复项、标题和摘要后，有32篇论文具备分析资格。通过逐篇阅读评估每份文档，有24篇论文符合入选标准。
得出的结论是，数字工具，即评估唇腭裂和混合牙列儿童牙弓的台式扫描仪，具有可重复性和可靠性，无需使用电离辐射，可实现可持续的存储和操作，并有助于保护环境。
