title: [3-D reconstruction for assessing the morphology of craniofacial structures].
abstract: The diagnostic value of 3-D reconstructions from axial CT scans in evaluating craniofacial structures was analyzed on the basis of a selected orthodontic patient group. The results showed that, for the first time, a three-dimensional analysis of the craniofacial relationships could be obtained which was not a mere spatial evaluation of the morphological structures. The specific application of this imaging procedure in detailed evaluations of complex dysmorphias and asymmetries seems to be justified.
