Description
Selene Barone and co-authors automate the measuring of facial swelling after wisdom tooth surgery. Their 2024 study follows 35 patients who had 54 lower third molars removed. Swelling, pain, and stiff jaws are the usual costs of the operation, and swelling is hard to score by eye.
Three-dimensional face scans were taken before surgery and at three and seven days after. Free software lined the scans up and computed line and volume changes on its own. Swelling peaked at day three and eased by day seven. Longer surgery went with worse swelling, pain, and stiffness. The authors offer the flow as a standard, exact way to score recovery.
