This study investigated the siting of the earbow mounting pins on the Dentatus ARL articulator relative to the condylar axis. Further, it showed the repeatability of registrations using the Dentatus AEB face bow and its modification as an earbow. Three face bow and three earbow recordings were made of 35 subjects. Registrations were fitted onto the subject's cast mounted on the articulator to show differences in the recording of the condylar axis. The mean horizontal relationship between the earbow and face bow registrations approximated to the relationship of the earbow mounting pin to the opening axis of the articulator. The mean diameter of the spread of registrations was less for the earbow than the conventional face bow. The use of the earbow modification to the Dentatus face bow is supported.

Objectives: The Cupid's peak triangle theory was established to reveal the aesthetics essence of the Cupid's peak through golden ratio deviation to provide quantitative theoretical basis for lip plastic and cosmetic surgery.
Materials And Methods: Model the Cupid's peak line on the lip bow ridge and construct expressions for Cupid's peak parameters and their associated triangle theory using the angle circle (AC) and radius circle (RC) of the Cupid's peak line. Calculate and establish functional relationships for Cupid's peak parameters and the concept of the Cupid's peak index (CPI) golden ratio deviation (GRD).

When performing a unilateral incomplete cleft lip repair, it is essential to create a good sub-structure of the upper lip contour, reconstruct the orbicularis oris muscle, and prevent an unwanted scar. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical effect of muscle reconstruction using a five-flap method with a short straight-line incision in unilateral incomplete cleft lip repair. Thirty-two infants with unilateral incomplete cleft lip were treated with this method between April 2020 and February 2023.

This study aimed to assess and quantify the morphologic characteristics of the lips and the lower third of the face in cleft and noncleft patients, utilizing three-dimensional (3D) stereophotogrammetry. Sixty patients were included in the study, comprising 30 unilateral cleft lip and palate patients (G1, 24 female, 6 male; aged 20 to 60 y, mean age 44.0±12.

Lip augmentation can correct lip asymmetries, reduce fine lines, define lip shape and Cupid's bow, and add natural fullness to the lips. Achieving a perfect result when injecting lip filler is an art that combines the desire of the patient with the skill of the practitioner and the practitioner's understanding of the surrounding anatomy. It is essential for aesthetic practitioners to prioritize open communication, provide custom-tailored treatments, and have a strong commitment to achieving natural and harmonious results.
