An Evaluation of the Ramus Mandibular Asymmetry on the Panoramic Radiography

This study is intended to focus on the evaluation of posterior vertical mandibular asymmetry by calculating index panoramic radiography in different types malocclusions, considering sexual dimorphism children and adolescent patients performing a comparative analysis between these groups. In this context, cross-sectional was conducted for group 214 (134 females 80 males with mean age 9.5 ± 2 years). The calculated each patient according Habets method. results were analyzed using independent Student t-test, ANOVA Mann–Whitney U-test at 95% confidence level (p < 0.05). analyses showed statistically significant difference condylar = 0.023) unilateral crossbite U test 0.01). No differences found ramus condyle-plus-ramus. highest value recorded condyle. We higher values Angle Class I malocclusions all groups II/1 females.
