Summary

Lip support plays an important role in facial esthetics, being a relevant factor when realizing full arch implant supported rehabilitations. However, there is a lack of research on the three dimensional impact of such restorations.

Detailed description

As lip support is becoming more determinant in the facial esthetics outcome after full arch implant rehabilitation, there is a need to know the influence of said rehabilitation in the lower third profile of the patients. Then, through facial scanning, this study's purpose is to evaluate three dimensional changes that arise since the initial state that the patient presents to the office until is rehabilitated through 3D discrepancies and 2D linear measurements.

Conditions

• Lip
• Prosthesis User
• Soft Tissue

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Facial scanner	The Bellus3D facial scanner will be used to scan the patient before and after implant rehabilitation in order to produce .obj files that allow 3D comparisons and to obtain discrepancy values regarding lip support.
