Purpose: The conventional impression technique for manufacturing facial prostheses has the disadvantage of deforming the soft tissues because of the tension caused by the impression material, as well as causing discomfort to the patient. The purpose of this study was to establish a system that allows contact-free reproduction of the facial surface combined with computer-assisted design and fabrication of facial prostheses.
Materials And Methods: Three-dimensional data of the facial surface were obtained using an optical acquisition system based on the method of phase-measuring profilometry.
