Cognitive representation of facial asymmetry
The human face displays mild asymmetry, with measurements of facial structure differing from left to right of the meridian by an average of three percent. Presently this source of variation is of theoretical interest primarily to researchers studying the perception of beauty, but a very limited …

Facial Asymmetry and Social Functioning in Children and Adolescents with Cleft Lip and/or Palate
BACKGROUND: While orofacial clefts may affect the facial appearance of children and adolescents with this condition, research has yet to examine the impact of facial difference on social functioning in this population. Characteristics of facial appearance, such as symmetry, are important in social …

3D Analysis of Hard Tissue Movement after Orthognathic Surgery in Skeletal Class III Malocclusion with Facial Asymmetry Patients
본 연구는 안면 비대칭을 동반한 골격성 3급 부정교합 환자의 악교정 수술(Le Fort I osteotomy: LF I or bilateral sagittal splint ramus osteotomy: BSSRO) 후 경조직의 3차원적 변화에 대해 분석하여,치료 계획 설정시 수술 후 예후를 고려한 정확한 평가가 이루어 질 수 있도록 알아보고자 하였다. 연구 대상은 2013년 3월부터 2014년 2월까지 아주대학교병원 구강악안면외과에서 동일한 1명의 술자가 시행한 악교정 수술 환자 중 수술 전(T1), 수술 2개월 후(T2), 수술 …

Clinical Outcome in the Surgical Intervention of Congenital Muscular Torticollis
A number of studies have shown that facial asymmetry improves in congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) patients after surgical release. This study confirmed the improvement in facial asymmetry, and analyzed factors that affect the change of facial asymmetry in CMT patients after surgical release by …

TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT DISORDERS AND NASAL SEPTUM DEVIATION IN DENTOFACIAL DEFORMITY PATIENTS
… of this study was to subclassify the types of facial asymmetries present in a pre-surgical dentofacial deformity patient population to determine the prevalence of each subcategory. Associations between the craniofacial characteristics of each asymmetry and pre-surgical Jaw Pain and Function …

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 …

Fibrous dysplasia of the jaws: a clinical and panoramic radiographic evaluation at the University of the Western Cape oral health centre
… presents as an asymptomatic swelling causing facial asymmetry. Radiographically, fibrous dysplasia is initially radiolucent, is a mixed radiodensity in the intermediate stage and becomes densely radiopaque as it matures. The margins are ill-defined, merging with surrounding normal bone. …

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 …

Analysis of Human Face Shape Abnormalities Using Machine Learning
Because the capture of 3D facial form for people with medical conditions has become a practical reality, much research has been done using computer-based automatic methods to study 3D facial characteristics. This study focuses on face abnormality, especially, children with cleft lip and/or palate. …

Experimental Analysis of Skull Remodeling and Change in Intracranial Volume with a soft Orthosis in Canine Models
… that results in strabismus and skull and facial asymmetry. It can be managed with a hard orthosis, but maintaining an infant in a hard orthosis is often intolerable. We attempted to reform the shape of the young canine skull with a soft orthosis that is lighter in weight and less …

Sino-Nasal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SNSCC): a retrospective review of the treatment outcomes of patients treated at Groote Schuur Hospital, Cape Town, South Africa
… had an ECOG performance status of 1 with facial asymmetry secondary to tumour mass or swelling being the most common presenting symptom (present in 68,75% of cases). 62,50% of cases originated within the maxillary antrum and 56,25% of cases were classified as keratinizing SCC. Twenty-six …

Magnitude and reproducibility of smiling in 12-year-old Caucasian children in the Republic of Ireland: a comparison of Class I and Class II malocclusions
… orthodontic treatment, identifiable syndrome or facial asymmetry, were recruited. Three malocclusion categories were assessed: Class I (20 males, 20 females), Class II division 1 (20 males; 20 females) and Class II division 2 (15 males; 15 females). Three-dimensional (3D) images of three facial …

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 …

The effectiveness of Ayurvedic oil based nasal instillation (Nasya) medicines in the treatment of facial paralysis (Ardita)
Background: Ardita (facial paralysis) is a medical condition that disfigures or distorts the facial appearance of the sufferer, causing facial asymmetry and malfunction. Ardita patients may benefit from considering alternative treatments such as Ayurveda, including Taila Nasya (nasal instillation …
