3D image analysis: clinical and research application
Antonio Ruellas
Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

3D imaging now elucidates dental compensations and skeletal changes in different approaches for correction of malocclusions. This presentation will include clinical cases using 3D image for diagnosis purposes, and also examples of how to evaluate treatment results for different types of treatment. Clinical applications of 3D image analysis research will be presented, evaluating changes due to growth and treatment results. Such results will provide attendees with understanding of both 3D facial changes relative to the cranial base as well as bone remodeling and response to growth and treatment.
