Facad
has been in
clinical use for more than 20 years. It all started in 1988 as a
computer
science master thesis work in collaboration with the maxillofacial unit
at the University Hospital in Linköping, Sweden. This
prototype was further developed into a product that used dedicated
image processing hardware that was released in 1990.
With more than 10
years of clinical experience,
Facad was modernized during 2001 into a modern Windows application and
was released in January 2002.
Version 3.6 (and
later) of Facad is EC certified
(CE marked) according to the Directive
93/42/EEC on Medical Devices, annex II
(MDD).
The latest program
version was released to
customers in March 2017 as version 3.9.
