Prepubertal trauma and mandibular asymmetry in orthognathic surgery and orthodontic patients.

چکیده
The association between radiographic evidence of mandibular asymmetry and history of prepubertal trauma was analyzed in orthognathic surgery patients and orthodontic patients. There were statistically significant associations between radiographic evidence of mandibular asymmetry and a history of prepubertal trauma in both patient groups. The results suggest that prepubertal trauma could be one etiologic factor for the development of mandibular asymmetry.
