Abstract

A standard method of quality control for the outcome of maxillofacial surgery is the comparison of pre- and postoperative photograph series. However, this does not allow an objective comparison of the result since there is only 2D representations of the patient. Laser surface scanners are a fast and accurate means for objective shape assessment in three dimensions. Methods of model assembly and comparison are presented.
