Abstract

Objectives: To assess the reliability and accuracy of three-dimensional (3D) camera for Craniofacial Anthropometry in comparison with direct measuring methods. Materials and methods: A comprehensive search of the specialized databases Pubmed/ MEDLINE, Science Direct, Google Scholar, OpenGrey, and other institutional repositories was performed for including the studies which assess the reliability and accuracy of various 3D Cameras for Craniofacial Anthropometry in comparison with direct Anthropometric measurements. Quality assessment was carried out with JBI critical appraisal checklist for analytical cross sectional studies. Results: Seven studies evaluating the accuracy and reliability of 3D cameras were included in this study. Studies comparing 3D photogrammetry with two-dimensional (2D) photography and direct anthropometric measurements and 3D photography with CBCT and various 3D photography systems with each other were included in this study. All studies showed no statistical differences between measurements made using all modalities, be it 3D photogrammetry, cone-beam computed tomography or direct anthropometric methods. Conclusion: Measurements using 3D stereophotogrammetry were consistent with both direct anthropometric and 2D photogrammetric measurements. The high interobserver reproducibility suggest that 3D photogrammetry can be used reliably. Although some parameters had statistically significant differences, they were not clinically significant. There were also no clinical differences between the 3D techniques suggesting that data obtained from these systems maybe combined for future research.
