Background: The aim of this paper is to illustrate how new opportunities offered by technology and diagnostic imaging can more easily create a 3D integration of soft tissue Face Scan and IOS (intra oral scan) for orthodontic evaluation in children.
Case Report: Through TrueDepth technology, a software commonly used for digital devices such as smartphones and tablets, the authors illustrate the acquisition of facial scans by means of different applications, and their integration with IOS to perform diagnostic evaluations and treatment planning at zero biological cost for patients.
Conclusion: TrueDepth technology is both accurate and easy to use for all clinicians, even those less accustomed to digital innovations. In the past, stereophotogrammetric systems and devices were used, and they are the gold standard for three-dimensional acquisitions. However, there is a major drawback associated with this technology as it is expensive and non-portable. Truedepth technology is an effective substitute, as smartphone applications are portable, cheaper, and more accessible, giving each orthodontist the ability to take advantage of the benefits of facial scanning in their daily practice.

Background: Facial prosthetics are an important means to rehabilitate patients with congenital or acquired facial defects. However, with a time-consuming manual workflow and workforce shortage, access to facial prosthetics is limited in Australia and worldwide, especially for rural and remote patients. Optical 3D scanning has been increasingly integrated in digitizing data.

The use of 3D facial scans is becoming essential for dental practice. However, traditional scanners require labor-intensive procedures and are expensive, making them less accessible in routine clinical practice. In this context, high-performance smartphones and dedicated apps offer a more accessible alternative.

Background: New 3D technologies for superficial soft tissue changes, especially in plastic and reconstructive surgical procedures, can improve the planning and documentation of facial surgeries. The purpose of this study was to compare and determine the applicability and feasibility of three different 3D-photography systems in clinical practice imaging the nose.
Methods: A total of 16 healthy non-operated noses were included in this prospective study.

There is a growing consensus in the global health community that the use of communication technologies will be an essential factor in ensuring universal health coverage of the world's population. New technologies can only be used profitably if their accuracy is sufficient. Therefore, we explore the feasibility of using Apple's ARKit technology to accurately measure the distance from the user's eye to their smartphone screen.
