Abstract
Authors – Popat H, Richmond S, Playle R, Marshall D, Rosin PL, Cosker D Objectives – To objectively quantify facial movement in response to facial expression and spoken word. Design – Experimental study. Setting – Department of Dental Health and Biological Sciences, University Dental Hospital, Cardiff, UK. Experimental Variable – Facial movement was assessed in response to a standardized smile expression and the utterance �puppy�. The sequences were recorded using a non-invasive, three-dimensional motion analysis image capture system (3dMDfaceTM Dynamic System) at 48 frames per second. Outcome Variable – To quantify the facial movement, sequential frames of a sequence were aligned to the baseline ⁄ reference frame three-dimensionally using best fit on non-moveable points in the upper half of the face. Accuracy of the alignment process for each sequence was tested using the percentage of stable points (i.e. within ±0.5 mm) within the upper half of the face. Results – Quantifiable changes in facial topology were seen during both the standardized smile expression and the utterance �puppy�. The mean percentage of points (SD) that remained stable within the upper half of the face during the utterance �puppy� was 88.8% (4.7). During the standardized smile expression, there were a much lower percentage of stable points in the upper half of the face with a mean (SD) of 60.9% (3.2). Conclusion – The 3dMDfaceTM Dynamic System allows objective, threedimensional, non-invasive assessment of facial movement. The utterance �puppy� is a more appropriate measure of facial movement when compared with the standardized smile expression.
