Purpose: The purpose of this study is to establish a method to reconstruct the facial soft tissue three-dimensionally.
Methods: By ATOS three-dimensional opticalmetry, which used in industry, 3D data on facial profile of a patient with mandibular hyperplasia was achieved quickly.
Results: Three-dimensional data of facial profile was accurate and the images were reconstructed with verisimilitude.
Conclusions: Traditional device of grating projection was modified by using two CCD cameras to obtain grating images.3D data on facial profile were achieved quickly and accurately.
