Objective: To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Next Engine 3D Laser scanner. Material and Methods: A total of 30 dental casts of unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) children with 90 linear variables were measured using digital caliper while the laser-scanned 3D dental casts (LS3DM) were measured using Mimics Software. All scanned data coordinates (in x, y, z) were transferred into Mimics software in STL format to be measured. All the variables were measured using a computer mouse accurate to 0.5 mm. The intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to evaluate the intraand inter-examiner reliabilities and also for the validity of two methods. Results: Intra-examiner reliabilities of digital caliper and LS3DM were found excellent (ICC 0.916-0.995) and inter-examiner reliabilities of LS3DM were good to excellent (ICC 0.816-0.990). The validity of LS3DM measurements was confirmed based on the ICC values were in the range of 0.913-0.996. The overall time frame for conducting measurements was shorter using a laser-scanned model (10 min.) than using a digital caliper (5 hours). Conclusion: The LS3DM is a valid reliable tool for future high impact research in our institution.
