Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) capture of the surface of soft tissue is a desirable aid for documentation and therapy planning in reconstructive surgery concerning the complex anatomy of the face, particularly for cleft lip and palate (CLP). Over the past 10 years, presurgical nasoalveolar molding (PNAM) has been an integral part of the craniofacial team's preliminary unilateral CLP and bilateral CLP treatment protocol. Accurate appraisal of nasoalveolar molding (NAM) treatment results, as well as the primary lip closure procedure, in patients with cleft defects is essential to correlate PNAM appliance modifications and the initial pretreatment state.
