Journal ArticleDOI
Fusion of computed tomography data and optical 3D images of the dentition for streak artefact correction in the simulation of orthognathic surgery
Emeka Nkenke,Stefan Zachow,Michaela Benz,Tobias Maier,Klaus Veit,Manuel Kramer,Stefanie Benz,Gerd Häusler,F Wilhelm Neukam,Michael Lell +9 more
TL;DR: The accuracy of the fusion of 3D CT surface data and optical 3D imaging is significantly reduced by metal artefacts, however, it seems appropriate for virtual orthognathic surgery simulation, as post-operative orthodontics are performed frequently.
Proceedings Article
The Symmetry of Faces
Michaela Benz,Xavier Laboureux,Tobias Maier,Emeka Nkenke,Stephan Seeger,Friedrich Wilhelm Neukam,Gerd Häusler +6 more
TL;DR: A method to compute the symmetry plane of faces in the presence of considerable asymmetry is developed and tested on healthy faces and on faces with a defined asymmetric region created by injection of saline solution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hertel exophthalmometry versus computed tomography and optical 3D imaging for the determination of the globe position in zygomatic fractures
Emeka Nkenke,Tobias Maier,Michaela Benz,Jörg Wiltfang,L. Holbach,Manuel Kramer,Gerd Häusler,Friedrich-Wilhelm Neukam +7 more
TL;DR: The combination of computed tomography as baseline measurement and optical 3D imaging for the follow-up examinations reveal more realistic data in cases of zygomatic fractures than Hertel measurements and should be preferred.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reliability of a Method for Computing Facial Symmetry Plane and Degree of Asymmetry Based on 3D-data
Jutta Hartmann,Philipp Meyer-Marcotty,Michaela Benz,Gerd Häusler,Angelika Stellzig-Eisenhauer +4 more
TL;DR: The color-coded visualization of asymmetrical facial regions makes it possible for this analytical procedure to capture the asymmetries of facial soft tissue with substantially greater precision than 2-dimensional en face images.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relative en- and exophthalmometry in zygomatic fractures comparing optical non-contact, non-ionizing 3D imaging to the Hertel instrument and computed tomography☆
Emeka Nkenke,Michaela Benz,Tobias Maier,Jörg Wiltfang,Leonard M. Holbach,Manuel Kramer,Gerd Häusler,Friedrich Wilhelm Neukam +7 more
TL;DR: Hertel exophthalmometry can lead to an under- or overestimation of enophthalmos, when soft tissue oedema or a dislocation of the orbital rim are present, and the combination of computed tomography as baseline measurement and optical 3D imaging for the follow-up examinations reveal more realistic data in cases of zygomatic fractures.
