Abstract
A stereophotographic method for volumetric determination of the extraoral swelling after mandibular third molar removal is developed. The method error was 1.0 cm3. Compared to the size of the maximal swelling after removal of impacted wisdom teeth, this error is considerable. The technique can, however, be improved and furthermore applied to measurements of volume changes in other cranio-facial areas, as well as in other parts of the body.
