Abstract
Aim: To utilize stereophotogrammetry to investigate changes in three-dimensional (3D) facial morphology in both TMD-free individuals and TMD patients, both before and after treatment, and to classify subjects as either TMD-free or TMD patients.
Methods: 40 participants (TMD and TMD-free, mean age of 38.9 ± 15.3 years) were recruited from the Oral Medicine Clinic at the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Otago. Participants were given a questionnaire, and 3D images of their faces at maximum mouth opening and in occlusion were recorded using the 3dMDtrio craniofacial scanner. Participants were followed up after 3 months and 6 months. The 3D images captured were analysed using the 3dMD Vultus software.
Results: Significant changes were observed between baseline and 3-month follow-up measurements in TRAR-GoR(C), GoR-GN(C) and LS-PG(O) (p < 0.05). At the 6-month follow-up, additional significant differences were found in G-PG(R), TRAL-SN(C), TRAR-GoR(C), GoR-GN(C), LS-PG(O), and maximum mouth opening (MMO) (p < 0.05). TRAR-GoR(C), LS-PG(O), TRAL-GoL(C), MMO, and TRAR-SN(C) exhibited significant correlations. LS-PG(R) was the most reliable predictor. Discriminant analysis revealed an 85% sensitivity and 90% specificity in classifying individuals with and without TMD.
Conclusion: Significant 3D morphological changes were detected in TMD patients' post-treatment, with notable mouth opening and masseter muscle volume reduction.
目的:利用立体摄影测量法研究治疗前后无TMD患者和TMD患者的三维面部形态变化,并将受试者分为无TMD患者和TMD患者。方法:从奥塔哥大学牙科学院口腔医学门诊招募患者40例(TMD和非TMD,平均年龄38.9±15.3岁)。参与者填写了一份调查问卷,并使用3dMDtrio颅面扫描仪记录了他们最大张口和咬合时的面部3D图像。参与者分别在3个月和6个月后随访。使用3dMD Vultus软件对捕获的3D图像进行分析。结果:随访3个月后,TMD患者TRAR-GoR(C)、gr - gn (C)、LS-PG(O)在基线和随访3个月后均有显著变化(p)。结论:TMD患者治疗后三维形态学发生显著改变,口腔开口明显,咬肌体积减小。
期刊介绍:
The aim of the Journal of Oral Pathology & Medicine is to publish manuscripts of high scientific quality representing original clinical, diagnostic or experimental work in oral pathology and oral medicine. Papers advancing the science or practice of these disciplines will be welcomed, especially those which bring new knowledge and observations from the application of techniques within the spheres of light and electron microscopy, tissue and organ culture, immunology, histochemistry and immunocytochemistry, microbiology, genetics and biochemistry.
