Facial Scanning for Lip Support Assessment in Full Arch Implant Rehabilitations

Lip support plays an important role in facial esthetics, being a relevant factor when realizing full arch implant supported rehabilitations. However, there is a lack of research on the three dimensional impact of such restorations.

About this study

As lip support is becoming more determinant in the facial esthetics outcome after full arch implant rehabilitation, there is a need to know the influence of said rehabilitation in the lower third profile of the patients. Then, through facial scanning, this study's purpose is to evaluate three dimensional changes that arise since the initial state that the patient presents to the office until is rehabilitated through 3D discrepancies and 2D linear measurements.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Indication for full arch implant rehabilitation

Exclusion criteria

  • Presence of facial hair, braces, make up, earrings or any facial deformity

Treatment and study plan

Facial scanner

Device

The Bellus3D facial scanner will be used to scan the patient before and after implant rehabilitation in order to produce .obj files that allow 3D comparisons and to obtain discrepancy values regarding lip support.

Primary outcomes

  1. Lip Support Changes in 3D (μm)

    Time frame: 1 month

    Quantitatively measure 3D facial alterations induced by full arch implant rehabilitation (in Root Mean Square)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Facial Alterations in 2D (mm)

    Time frame: 1 month

    Evaluate facial modifications caused by full arch implant rehabilitation by measuring distances between pre-determined facial landmarks
