Is craniofacial asymmetry progressive in the untreated congenital muscular torticollis?
Although craniofacial asymmetry is frequently involved in the congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) patients who require surgical release, it has not been evaluated appropriately. Therefore, little is still known concerning severity and change of craniofacial asymmetry with aging. The authors …

ENPP1 AND ESR1 GENOTYPE ASSOCIATE WITH CRANIOFACIAL ASYMMETRY AND SEVERITY OF TMD
… many approaches for classification of skeletal asymmetry using either PA cephalograms or SMV radiographs; however, there is no universally accepted one. We developed a new classification system to remove much of the previous diagnostic uncertainty that is also useful in genotyping single …

A Study of Craniofacial Asymmetry in Monozygotic and Dizygotic Twins Using Posteroanterior Radiographs
This project investigated craniofacial asymmetry in a prospective study among monozygotic (identical) versus dizygotic (fraternal) twins and sibling pairs. Posteroanterior radiographs that had previously been collected were used in this study and the zygosity of the twins had previously been …

Association of Masseter Muscle PITX2, ENPP1 and ESR1 Expression, Muscle Fiber Type, Temporomandibular Joint Disorders and Subclassifications of Craniofacial Asymmetry
Craniofacial asymmetry is a dentofacial deformity with genetic influences. The genes PITX2, ENPP1 and ESR1 have multiple genetic associations with functional properties in muscle and bone. The objectives of this study are to investigate how PITX2, ENPP1 and ESR1 gene expression associates with four …

TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT DISORDERS AND NASAL SEPTUM DEVIATION IN DENTOFACIAL DEFORMITY PATIENTS
… of each subcategory. Associations between the craniofacial characteristics of each asymmetry and pre-surgical Jaw Pain and Function Questionnaire (JPFQ) scores, diagnosis of temporomandibular disorders (TMD), and posterior facial asymmetry (PFA) as determined by nasal septum deviation were …
