Abstract
Authors– Baumrind S, Carlson S, Beers A, Curry S, Norris K, Boyd RL Past research in integrated three‐dimensional (3D) craniofacial mapping at the Craniofacial Research Instrumentation Laboratory (CRIL) of the University of the Pacific is summarized in narrative form. The advantages and limitations of recent commercial developments in the application of cone beam geometry volumetric X‐ray scanners in dentistry and surface digital mapping of study casts are discussed. The rationale for methods currently in development at CRIL for merging longitudinal information from existing 3D study casts and two‐dimensional lateral X‐ray cephalograms in studies of orthodontic treatment outcome is presented.Keywords
