This $606,296 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), aims to develop new growth models for the craniofacial complex using advanced 3D imaging technology. The research will leverage a large, diverse database of 40,000 CBCT (cone-beam computed tomography) images to create comprehensive growth standards that account for age, sex, race, ethnicity, facial type, and dental maturation. By utilizing shape-based analysis approaches, the project will capture global anatomical differences and variations across the craniofacial region. The research outputs, including predictive growth models, will enable more evidence-based treatment planning for pediatric craniofacial patients, with the goal of improving diagnostic abilities and treatment strategies. The grant was awarded to the University of Missouri System and is scheduled for completion by January 31, 2030.
