Facial Scanning for Lip Support Assessment in Full Arch Implant Rehabilitations

Facial Scanning for Lip Support Assessment in Full Arch Implant Rehabilitations

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.

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.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Indication for full arch implant rehabilitation

Exclusion Criteria:

• Presence of facial hair, braces, make up, earrings or any facial deformity
