Transverse Growth of Facial Soft Tissues: A Longitudinal Three‐Dimensional Facial Growth Study
ABSTRACT Objective This longitudinal cohort study aimed to determine the pattern of transverse facial growth from ages 10 to 18 years. Materials and Methods 101 individuals (male, n = 56; female, n = 45) were observed. Three‐dimensional facial surface images were acquired using stereophotogrammetry every 6 months.

ABSTRACT Objective Traditional biocompatibility assessments primarily address cytotoxicity and bulk material properties but often overlook molecular responses that occur below toxicity thresholds. Detecting these subtle effects is crucial for materials intended for prolonged contact with human tissues.
