Overview
This study is to develop a neural network to compute palatal three dimensional (3D) geometry by using routinely taken intraoral/palatal photographs and palatal casts of infants with cleft lip and palate deformity for reducing cleft lip and palate treatment burden. Data of palatal casts and palatal images of cleft patients routinely treated at the University Hospital Basel will be analyzed.The collection of large data helps in developing a neural network that will allow the computation of the 3D geometry from single photographs.
Interventions
