Designing nasal prostheses can be challenging because of the unpaired nature of the facial feature, especially in patients lacking preoperative information. Various nose model databases have been developed as a helpful starting point for the computer-aided design of nasal prostheses, but these do not appear to be readily accessible. Therefore, an open-access digital database of nose models has been generated based on a 3-dimensional (3D) morphable face model approach. This article describes the generation of the database, highlights steps for designing a nasal prosthesis, and points readers to the database for future clinical application and research.
设计鼻假体具有挑战性，因为面部特征是不成对的，尤其是在缺乏术前信息的患者中。已经开发了各种鼻模型数据库，作为计算机辅助设计鼻假体的有用起点，但这些似乎不容易获得。因此，基于 3 维（3D）可变形人脸模型方法，生成了一个开放获取的数字鼻模型数据库。本文介绍了数据库的生成，强调了设计鼻假体的步骤，并为未来的临床应用和研究向读者推荐了该数据库。
