Orthopantomographic Analysis for Assessment of Mandibular Asymmetry
نویسندگان
چکیده
Objective: The objective of this article is to introduce a simplified analysis for preliminary diagnosis of mandibular asymmetry using digital OPG. The method described in the article involves vertical and angular measurements of mandible. Utilizing digital OPG for preliminary diagnosis of mandibular asymmetry has a favorable cost-benefit relationship and exposes subjects to relatively low doses of radiation.

Clinical and computerized assessment of mandibular asymmetry.
The aim of this study was to investigate assessment of mandibular asymmetry by clinicians and to evaluate a new computerized system. Eight experienced clinicians (four maxillofacial surgeons and four orthodontists) assessed 12 standardized facial photographs of patients selected to provide a range, from normality to marked mandibular asymmetry. Photographs were taken under standardized conditio...
متن کاملPeripheral Osteoma: Unusual Presentation in the Mandibular Notch
The patient complained of a constant ‘contraction’ like movement of her jaw over the course of one-year, with associated pre-auricular pain in the left temporo-mandibular joint region. Orthopantomographic investigation revealed a radiopaque mass related to the left mandibular notch with a subsequent cone beam computed tomography reporting a large pedunculated bony mass with a lobulated outline,...
متن کاملComprehensive Analysis of Mandibular Residual Asymmetry after Bilateral Sagittal Split Ramus Osteotomy Correction of Menton Point Deviation
PURPOSE Facial asymmetry often persists even after mandibular deviation corrected by the bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO) operation, since the reference facial sagittal plane for the asymmetry analysis is usually set up before the mandibular menton (Me) point correction. Our aim is to develop a predictive and quantitative method to assess the true asymmetry of the mandible after...
متن کاملA computerized photographic assessment of the relationship between skeletal discrepancy and mandibular outline asymmetry.
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between mandibular outline asymmetry and skeletal discrepancy in a sample of orthodontic patients (33 females, 33 males) aged from 8 to 19 years. Skeletal discrepancy was assessed in both the anteroposterior and vertical planes, using standard cephalometric analyses. All were photographed under standardized conditions and the photographs...
متن کاملQuantitative evaluation of normal uptake of mandibular condyle in bone scan with Tc 99m-MDP [Persian]
Unilateral condylar hyperplasia is the main cause of mandibular asymmetry. Radionuclide bone scanning is a useful procedure for functional evaluation of temporomandibular joint. In this study, 39 patients with normal bone scan and no facial asymmetry were studied. All patients were below 22 years of age. Normal condylar uptake was determined in this group of patients. Right & left condyla...
