ABSTRACT
Aim of the study. This study explores the role of anthropometry in ophthalmology and orthodontics, focusing on its applications in diagnosis, treatment planning, and facial aesthetics. By integrating 3D imaging and digital analysis, we assess how anthropometric measurements enhance clinical decision-making in both fields. Materials and methods. The selection focused on research investigating anthropometric techniques, multimodal imaging, and their clinical impact in ophthalmology and orthodontics. Results. Findings indicate that 3D anthropometry significantly improves diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning in both ophthalmology and orthodontics. In ophthalmology, precise anthropometric measurements aid in periorbital surgery, ptosis correction, and orbital reconstruction, ensuring symmetry and optimal functional restoration. Additionally, facial aging assessments based on orbital and midface anthropometry enhance rejuvenation strategies and surgical planning. In orthodontics, anthropometric analysis is essential for cephalometric evaluations, maxillofacial surgeries, and AI-driven treatment simulations. Variability in facial and periorbital norms across populations impacts treatment outcomes, emphasizing the need for personalized approaches. Conclusions. Anthropometry plays a crucial role in ophthalmology and orthodontics, aiding in surgical precision, aesthetic evaluation, and treatment customization. The adoption of advanced imaging and AI-driven analysis is set to revolutionize patient care, enabling more individualized and effective interventions. Future research should focus on standardized anthropometric databases for diverse populations to further enhance treatment protocols.
