About
Chiarella Sforza is a leading figure in functional anatomy and craniofacial biology, with a career dedicated to understanding the complex relationships between human form, function, and clinical application. Her research spans craniofacial morphometry, three-dimensional imaging, and the biomechanics of the stomatognathic system. A major contribution is her pioneering work in the volumetric assessment of craniofacial structures using advanced imaging techniques, such as the segmentation of sphenoid sinuses on CT scans—a study that has garnered 66 citations and provided critical anatomical data for surgical planning. Sforza’s impact is evident in her extensive body of work, which has been cited thousands of times, reflecting her influence on fields from orthodontics to maxillofacial surgery. She is also known for her studies on facial asymmetry, aging, and muscle function, often employing innovative 3D stereophotogrammetry. A professor at the University of Milan, Sforza has mentored numerous researchers and contributed to textbooks, solidifying her legacy as a bridge between basic anatomy and clinical practice.
