Aesthetic Face Evaluation in Individuals with Dentofacial Deformities

36 young adults with dentofacial deformities were evaluated for facial aesthetics and skin features. The study, authored by Silmara Regina Pavani Sovinski, used the Orofacial Myofunctional Evaluation - MBGR Protocol and a developed facial aesthetic evaluation protocol. Results showed correlations between facial asymmetry, nasolabial angle, skin wrinkles, and age.

Use Cases

• Analyzing correlations between dentofacial deformity types and facial asymmetry based on the described group comparisons.
• Studying the relationship between age and specific facial grooves like nasolabial folds and marionette lines as mentioned in the results.
• Developing predictive models for aesthetic outcomes based on features like nasolabial angle and vertical lip grooves described in the study.
• Comparing skin feature frequencies, such as procerus grooves and orbicularis eye region grooves, between patient and control groups.

Strengths

• Data is derived from a structured clinical evaluation protocol (Orofacial Myofunctional Evaluation - MBGR Protocol).
• Includes a control group for comparison, with 36 total participants across three defined groups.
• Analysis includes specific, validated measures for wrinkle classification, marionette lines, and grooves.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
