Patients with facial asymmetry often seek improved symmetry in lower face contour resulting in transverse movement of the proximal segments. The study aimed to investigate the association between tran...
This retrospective cohort study includes consecutive patients with skeletal Class III asymmetry who underwent 2-jaw orthognathic surgery. The primary predictor variable was ramus plane angle (RPA). Th...
The study sample was composed of 60 subjects with 30 subjects in each study group. In the S group, the mean surgical changes of RPA were inward rotated 0.91° bilaterally. In the L group, the mean surg...
Greater surgical changes in the proximal segments had minor clinical effect on transverse stability. Minor transverse overcorrection of 1 mm is recommended in cases with severe facial symmetry with ex...
To investigate whether abnormal head posture (AHP) induces changes in common carotid artery blood flow (CCBF), thereby leading to the development of facial asymmetry in the setting of strabismus and o...
This was a prospective observational study of pediatric subjects in an urban ophthalmology clinic who underwent bilateral carotid artery ultrasound examination with spectral Doppler in an upright, str...
Seventeen subjects were enrolled, and 34 carotid arteries were assessed. There was no significant difference between upright, straight-head position and head tilt in ipsilateral (7.8 ± 1.8 mL/s vs 7.5...
CCBF does not fluctuate with AHP and thus does not appear to be the etiology for facial asymmetry in strabismus....
The study aimed (1) to evaluate the site and severity of facial asymmetry in Class III patients before and after bimaxillary surgery, and (2) to identify the influence of initial severity and position...
Preoperative and postoperative cone-beam computed tomography of 65 patients with Class III facial asymmetry who underwent bimaxillary surgery were evaluated. Five midline and 14 paramedian facial soft...
Before surgery, the asymmetry was more severe at the chin, middle and lower contour. Bimaxillary surgery effectively corrected facial asymmetry, particularly in achieving normalization of chin deviati...
Deviation of the chin, middle and lower contour contributed significantly to overall facial asymmetry in Class III asymmetry. Despite normalization of the chin deviation after bimaxillary surgery, asy...
Understanding the residual asymmetry after bimaxillary surgery is important for minimizing deviation and optimizing the surgical planning for its correction....
Facial directional asymmetry research, including age-related changes, is crucial for the evaluation of treatment of craniofacial malformations/trauma in orthodontics, facial surgery and forensic scien...
A cross-sectional sample of healthy Czech adults without craniofacial trauma or anomalies consisted of 300 3D facial models (151 females). The age-range in the study was between 20-80 years. The shape...
The manifestation of DA was similar in both sexes and in each age category; however, there were some statistical differences. In contrast to the ideal symmetrical face, the mean asymmetrical faces ten...
The DA patterns were similar in both sexes and in all age categories (a slightly bent C shape of the midline); however, some significant local differences between male age groups were found. A signifi...
It was aimed to determine the change of facial asymmetry resulting from nasal septal deviation (SD) depending on age, gender, degree of deviation and the affected area besides the effect of SD on soma...
171 volunteers (90 males, 81 females), 27 individuals aged 9-13, 44 individuals aged 14-18, 44 individuals aged 19-23 and 56 individuals in control group participated in the study conducted in otorhin...
SD affects facial asymmetry formation, although not statistically significant compared to healthy individuals asymmetry rates (p˃0.05). It was determined that the degree of SD affected asymmetry only ...
The development of facial asymmetry due to SD is not affected by age and gender furthermore SD does not affect craniofacial asymmetry and somatotype....
Surgical correction of facial asymmetry is commonly performed in at least two stages. Recently, because of the long duration of a two-step procedure, the demand for a one-step procedure has increased....
A retrospective monocentric study was conducted for all patients affected by severe facial asymmetry who had undergone MC and orthognathic surgery between January 2018 and June 2020 at the Face Surger...
The final study sample included 20 patients (12 women and 8 men). The mean age of the patients at the time of surgery was 20.8 years (range: 18-25 years). At the one-year follow-up, all patients had s...
A fully digitalized workflow for one-stage MC and bimaxillary surgery is a safe and valid option to correct facial asymmetry. CAD CAM technology is an indispensable tool to obtain predictable results....
This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article. For a full description of these Evidence-Based Medicine ratings, please refer to the Table of Contents or the online Inst...
We used three-dimensional (3D) virtual images to undertake a subjective evaluation of how different factors affect the perception of facial asymmetry among orthodontists and laypersons with the aim of...
A 3D virtual symmetrical facial image was acquired using FaceGen Modeller software. The left chin, mandible, lip and cheek of the virtual face were simulated in the horizontal (interior/exterior), ver...
Orthodontists were found to be more critical of asymmetry than laypersons. Our results showed that observers progressively decreased ratings by 1.219 on the VAS scale and increased recognition rates b...
The degree, types and parts of asymmetry can affect ratings for facial deformity as well as the accuracy rate of identifying the asymmetrical part. Although orthodontists have higher accuracy in diagn...
The aim of the current study was to investigate, by means of Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), condyle−fossa relationship, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) morphology and facial asymmetry in subjects...
Orthognathic surgery in asymmetric cases is challenging because of diversity and individuality. Clinical observations are of paramount importance and need to be systemically thorough. Three-dimensiona...
The purpose of this study was to classify and characterize facial asymmetry (FA) phenotypes in adult patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) and skeletal class III malocclusion. The sampl...
