Article Synopsis
- The study explores the benefits of 3D analysis of maxillofacial structures in patients with dysmorphic conditions, emphasizing the increased accuracy and precision over 2D methods, particularly in cases of cleft lip/palate (CL/P) or other syndromes.
- A scoping review analyzed 17 out of over 4,500 articles to evaluate current 3D surface imaging methods for volumetric analysis and identify existing protocols and reference data, following strict inclusion criteria.
- The findings revealed significant variability among the studies, indicating a lack of standardized methods and protocols, which underscores the need for collective efforts to establish uniform practices and enhance the quality of scientific evidence in the field.

Methods: The study adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. Eligibility criteria were established in the PICO format, involving patients who underwent slow, rapid, or leaf maxillary expansion during the mixed or early permanent dentitions.
Oral cancer became a very common condition. WHO estimates that there are 4 cases of lip and oral cavity cancer for every 100,000 people worldwide. The early diagnosis of cancers is currently a top focus in the health sector.

Objective: COVID-19 is a disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which emerged as a global pandemic in 2019. Its main symptoms include fever, cough, fatigue, and, in severe cases, pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and organ failure, which can be life-threatening. Various therapies have been proposed for treating COVID-19, among which antiviral drugs and monoclonal antibodies, but natural molecules have gained attention for their potential antiviral properties against various viral infections, including COVID-19.
