Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Maxillofacial bone is the basis of facial soft tissue, and different in the individuals. It is necessary to study various measure methods to precisely measure maxillofacial region.
OBJECTIVE: To compare application progress of X-ray and three-dimensional CT measure in reshaping and repair of maxillofacial region.
METHODS: We retrieved PubMed Database and China National Knowledge Infrastructure. The key words were “maxillofacial, bone tissue, measurement of three-dimensional reconstruction” and searched in title and abstract. Finally 23 articles were included.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The advantage of X-ray three-dimensional measure was as follows: low price, low radiation dose, short data collection time; shortcoming was as follows: poor resolvability of mark point and fixed point. The advantage of CT three-dimensional measure was as follows: full measure content, high accuracy and precision, reliable method, repeatable, and extensive application; however, the cost was high, and the duration of examination was relatively longer compared with traditional plain film. At present, the radiation dose was more in patients receiving CT scanning compared with X-ray plain film.
