A 3D cephalometric protocol for the accurate quantification of the craniofacial symmetry and facial growth

Abstract Background Cephalometric analysis is used to evaluate facial growth, to study the anatomical relationships within the face. Cephalometric assessment is based on 2D radiographic images, either the sagittal or coronal planes and is an inherently inaccurate methodology. The wide availability o...
