Abstract

Introduction

Facial scanning through smartphone scanning applications (SSA) is increasingly being used for medical applications as cost-effective, chairside method. However, clinical validation is lacking. This review aims to address: (1) Which SSA could perform facial scanning? (2) Which SSA can be clinically used? (3) Which SSA have been reported and scientifically validated for medical applications?

Methods

Technical search for SSA designed for face or object scanning was conducted on Google, Apple App Store, and Google Play Store from August 2022 to December 2023. Literature search was performed on PubMed, Cochrane, EMBASE, MEDLINE, Scopus, IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library, Clinicaltrials.gov, ICTRP (WHO) and preprints up to 2023. Eligibility criteria included English-written scientific articles incorporating at least one SSA for clinical purposes. SSA selection and data extraction were executed by one reviewer, validated by second, with third reviewer being consulted for discordances.

Results

Sixty-three applications designed for three-dimensional object scanning were retrieved, with 52 currently offering facial scanning capabilities. Fifty-six scientific articles, comprising two case reports, 16 proof-of-concepts and 38 experimental studies were analysed. Thirteen applications (123D Catch, 3D Creator, Bellus 3D Dental Pro, Bellus 3D Face app, Bellus 3D Face Maker, Capture, Heges, Metascan, Polycam, Scandy Pro, Scaniverse, Tap tap tap and Trnio) were reported in literature for digital workflow integration, comparison or proof-of-concept studies.

Conclusion

Fifty-two SSA can perform facial scanning currently and can be used clinically, offering cost-effectiveness, portability and user-friendliness. Although clinical validation is crucial, only 13 SSA were scientifically validated, underlying awareness of potential pitfalls and limitations.

用于面部扫描的智能手机应用程序：技术和范围审查。

简介通过智能手机扫描应用程序（SSA）进行面部扫描作为一种经济有效的椅旁方法，正越来越多地应用于医疗领域。然而，目前还缺乏临床验证。本综述旨在探讨(1) 哪些 SSA 可以进行面部扫描？(2) 哪些 SSA 可用于临床？(3) 哪些 SSA 已被报道并经科学验证可用于医疗应用？2022年8月至2023年12月，在谷歌、苹果应用商店和谷歌Play商店对设计用于面部或物体扫描的SSA进行了技术搜索。文献检索在 PubMed、Cochrane、EMBASE、MEDLINE、Scopus、IEEE Xplore、ACM Digital Library、Clinicaltrials.gov、ICTRP (WHO) 和截至 2023 年的预印本上进行。资格标准包括包含至少一项用于临床目的的 SSA 的英文科学文章。SSA的选择和数据提取由一位审稿人完成，并由第二位审稿人验证，如有不一致之处，则咨询第三位审稿人：结果：共检索到 63 个用于三维物体扫描的应用程序，其中 52 个目前提供面部扫描功能。分析了 56 篇科学文章，包括 2 个案例报告、16 个概念验证和 38 个实验研究。文献中报道了 13 种应用（123D Catch、3D Creator、Bellus 3D Dental Pro、Bellus 3D Face app、Bellus 3D Face Maker、Capture、Heges、Metascan、Polycam、Scandy Pro、Scaniverse、Tap tap tap 和 Trnio），用于数字工作流程集成、比较或概念验证研究：结论：目前有 52 种 SSA 可以进行面部扫描，并可用于临床，具有成本效益、便携性和用户友好性。虽然临床验证至关重要，但只有 13 种 SSA 经过了科学验证，潜在的隐患和局限性已被意识到。

期刊介绍： Orthodontics & Craniofacial Research - Genes, Growth and Development is published to serve its readers as an international forum for the presentation and critical discussion of issues pertinent to the advancement of the specialty of orthodontics and the evidence-based knowledge of craniofacial growth and development. This forum is based on scientifically supported information, but also includes minority and conflicting opinions. The objective of the journal is to facilitate effective communication between the research community and practicing clinicians. Original papers of high scientific quality that report the findings of clinical trials, clinical epidemiology, and novel therapeutic or diagnostic approaches are appropriate submissions. Similarly, we welcome papers in genetics, developmental biology, syndromology, surgery, speech and hearing, and other biomedical disciplines related to clinical orthodontics and normal and abnormal craniofacial growth and development. In addition to original and basic research, the journal publishes concise reviews, case reports of substantial value, invited essays, letters, and announcements. The journal is published quarterly. The review of submitted papers will be coordinated by the editor and members of the editorial board. It is policy to review manuscripts within 3 to 4 weeks of receipt and to publish within 3 to 6 months of acceptance.
