Mandibular and temporomandibular morphologic characteristics of patients with suspected unilateral condylar hyperplasia: a CT study.

Introduction: Facial asymmetry associated with unilateral condylar hyperplasia (UCH) is a complicated clinical condition.

Objective: The objective of this study was to describe morphological characteristics of the mandible and the temporomandibular joint in patients with facial asymmetry, using computed tomography and 3D reconstruction.

Methods: A retrospective observational study was performed with patients displaying facial asymmetry evaluated by single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/CT analysis, for suspected UCH, between 2015 and 2018.

Are There Mandibular Morphological Differences in the Various Facial Asymmetry Etiologies? A Tomographic Three-Dimensional Reconstruction Study.

Purpose: Facial asymmetries (FAs) have been classified according to the mandibular morphological differences to obtain better diagnostic and treatment decisions. The purpose of the present study was to establish diagnostic differentiation among FAs using computed tomography (CT) and 3-dimensional (3D) reconstruction.

Materials And Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study of patients with a diagnosis of FA, who had been evaluated by CT and 3D reconstruction in the same clinical center from 2015 to 2018.
