Objective: To build 3-D digital face model of unilateral orbital defect and find a new method to get 3-D data of facial defects. Methods: Phase measuring profilometry was used to get the primitive point data of unilateral orbital defect, and then the original point data were dealed with the three-dimensional design software in order to acquire a 3-D digitizing face model. Result: A 3-D digitizing face model of unilateral orbital defect was successfully reconstructed by this method. Conclusion: The phase measuring profilometry was fast and safe to get an actual 3D image of facial defects, and would be helpful to the computer-aided design of unilateral orbital defect restoration
