COMPARATIVE ASSESSMENT OF FACIAL ASYMMETRY IN MALOCCLUSION USING POSTEROANTERIOR VIEW
Page: 71-76
Introduction: The study was conducted to assess facial facial asymmetry in various dental malocclusions and to determine asymmetry in lower, mid and upper face and jaws using postero-anterior cephalometric analysis.
Method: 120 postero-anterior cephalograms were taken of individuals between 12 to 25 years age group of both sexes, and were divided into 4 groups, Angle's class I excellent occlusion, Angle's class I malocclusion, Angle's class II malocclusion and Angle's class III malocciusion malocclusion. These cephalograms were traced and Grummon's analysis was performed.
Results: In Angle's class I occlusion and Angle's class II malocclusion the results obtained showed asymmetry was present in the upper face. Correlation was found between upper occlusion, malocclusion and facial asymmetry.
Conclusion: Facial asymmetry was found in all dental occlusions whether excellent or malocclusion group, with maximum asymmetry having upward trend towards upper face starting from lower.
