Pilot study 3D metric data of intraoral molding measurements taken from digitalised plaster models for infants with cleft lip and palate created by computer-aided design and manufacture with and without the RapidNAM refinement
<div>This dataset is a single <b>.xlsx </b>spreadsheet with two tabs. The data are the location of 3D metric points (x,y,z) on plaster models of the upper jaw of 13 healthy newborns who required treatment of unilateral cleft palate and lip (CLP). The two tabs are the data for two treatment approaches: (i) computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM); (ii) CAD/CAM with the RapidNAM refinement.</div><div><br></div><div>The related publication analyses the effectiveness of a technique called RapidNAM, which facilitates fast but adaptable treatment of CLP. RapidNAM combines intraoral molding with semi-automated detection of alveolar ridges, plate generation and 3D printing. RapidNAM, assisted by a graphical user interface, was compared with a conventional, stepwise manual design of molding plates which utilises CAD/CAM. To perform the comparison, casts of the upper jaw of patients were taken at the beginning and end of therapy (approximately 3-4 months apart), the casts were digitalised with a 3D triangulation scanner (3Shape D500, 3Shape; Copenhagen, Denmark), then digitalised plaster models were virtually analysed. Specific points on the the models were chosen for comparison by two independent observers.</div><div><br></div><div>The column titles in the Excel files are the following points on the upper jaw, which were selected for measurement by two independent observers (see Fig. 2 of associated publication): </div><div>- the most anterior point on the greater segment (A)<br></div><div>- the center of the papilla incisiva (P)</div><div>- the points that have the shortest connecting line passing over the anterior cleft (SA and SA.)</div><div>- the sulcus lateralis points (L and L.)</div><div>- the tuberal areas (T and T.)</div><div>- the dissecting point on connecting line between tuberal areas (MT)</div><div>- the points that have the shortest distance passing over the cleft posterior on the hard palate (SD and SD.)</div><div>- the last 8 columns are distances between reference points.</div><div>Variables are listed with x,y, and z since they have been selected on 3D models. Columns containing [x,y,z] coordinates have origin at the barycentre of the plaster model, while other columns are measurements between points. All measurements are in mm. For formatting purposes, where a prime has been used in the manuscript (e.g., AB'), the Excel file instead contains a point (e.g., AB.). </div><div><br></div><div>All data have been anonymised containing no further personal information.<br></div>
