            Figure 1. Establishment of animal model of palatal fistula and 3D reconstruction. (A) An animal model of palatal fistula was established, and the animal
            healed after a week. (B) After a week, the animal model of palatal fistula was successfully established by using CBCT. (C) The airway mask revealed that
            the affected oral cavity was connected to the upper airway. (D) The model of the upper airway before repair in Mimics 21.0 software. (E) The upper airway
            model and bone model in Geomagic 2017 software. (F) The model of bone in Mimics 21.0 software.
