Automated landmark-based mid-sagittal plane: reliability for 3-dimensional mandibular asymmetry assessment on head CT scans.

Clinical oral investigations
OBJECTIVE: The determination of the mid-sagittal plane (MSP) on three-dimensional (3D) head imaging is key to the assessment of facial asymmetry. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability of an automated landmark-based MSP to quantify man...

Artificial intelligence-assisted identification and assessment of mandibular asymmetry on panoramic radiography.

American journal of orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics : official publication of the American Association of Orthodontists, its constituent societies, and the American Board of Orthodontics
INTRODUCTION: Mandibular symmetry is crucial in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. This study aimed to establish an artificial intelligence (AI) method to automatically and accurately identify mandibular landmarks and assess asymmetry via ...

Deep Learning-Based Assessment of Lip Symmetry for Patients With Repaired Cleft Lip.

The Cleft palate-craniofacial journal : official publication of the American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association
ObjectivePost-surgical lip symmetry assessment is a key indicator of cleft repair success. Traditional methods rely on distances between anatomical landmarks, which are impractical for video analysis and overlook texture and appearance. We propose an...

Deep Learning-based Assessment of Facial Asymmetry Using U-Net Deep Convolutional Neural Network Algorithm.

The Journal of craniofacial surgery
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN)-based computer-assisted diagnosis (CAD) system to detect facial asymmetry on posteroanterior (PA) cephalograms and compare the results o...

Feasibility of a Robot-Assisted Surgical Navigation System for Mandibular Distraction Osteogenesis in Hemifacial Microsomia: A Model Experiment.

The Journal of craniofacial surgery
This study aimed to investigate the feasibility and accuracy of osteotomy and distractor placement using a robotic navigation system in a model surgical experiment of mandibular distraction osteogenesis for hemifacial microsomia. Imaging data from 5 ...

Applying artificial intelligence to assess the impact of orthognathic treatment on facial attractiveness and estimated age.

International journal of oral and maxillofacial surgery
This observational study aimed to use artificial intelligence to describe the impact of orthognathic treatment on facial attractiveness and age appearance. Pre- and post-treatment photographs (n=2164) of 146 consecutive orthognathic patients were col...

Cleft Skeletal Asymmetry: Asymmetry Index, Classification and Application.

The Cleft palate-craniofacial journal : official publication of the American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association
OBJECTIVE: To quantitatively measure the extent of 3D asymmetry of the facial skeleton in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) using an asymmetry index (AI) approach, and to illustrate the applicability of the index in guiding and mea...

Skeletal facial asymmetry: reliability of manual and artificial intelligence-driven analysis.

Dento maxillo facial radiology
OBJECTIVES: To compare artificial intelligence (AI)-driven web-based platform and manual measurements for analysing facial asymmetry in craniofacial CT examinations.

Surgery-First Orthognathic Approach to Correct Facial Asymmetry: Artificial Intelligence-Based Cephalometric Analysis.

Plastic and reconstructive surgery
BACKGROUND: The surgery-first orthognathic approach has been applied at our institution since 2007. However, its indications remain debated. The aim of this study was to investigate the reliability of the surgery-first approach to correct facial asym...

The Auto-eFACE: Machine Learning-Enhanced Program Yields Automated Facial Palsy Assessment Tool.

Plastic and reconstructive surgery
BACKGROUND: Facial palsy assessment is nonstandardized. Clinician-graded scales are limited by subjectivity and observer bias. Computer-aided grading would be desirable to achieve conformity in facial palsy assessment and to compare the effectiveness...
