Article Synopsis
- The study investigated facial directional asymmetry (DA) in relation to brain laterality among 163 healthy individuals, hypothesizing that facial features may reflect underlying brain asymmetries.
- Various methods, including 3D landmark analysis, were used to assess DA, revealing a consistent right-sided facial protrusion pattern across genders.
- The research found that only males showed a correlation between lateralized behaviors (like handedness) and DA, suggesting that higher brain asymmetry in males might influence these differences, while no link was observed between eyedness and DA.
Objectives: The study followed the modelling of postnatal growth of a healthy palate of the Central European (Czech) population sample based on transverse data on sex and age from 6 to 19 years.
Materials And Methods: Digitised 3D models of 212 healthy palatal surfaces were evaluated using 3D geometric morphometrics and superimpositions. The individuals were grouped based on age (preschool, younger and older school age, younger and older adolescents, young adults) and sex (♂ n = 101, ♀ n = 111).
A detailed understanding of craniofacial ontogenetic development is important in a variety of scientific disciplines dealing with facial reconstruction, forensic identification, ageing prediction, and monitoring of pathological growth, including the effect of therapy. The main goals of this study were (1) the construction of the facial aging model using local polynomial regression fitting separately for both sexes, (2) evaluation of the aging effect not only on facial form as a whole but also on dimensions important for clinical practice, and (3) monitoring of the development of shape facial sexual dimorphism. Our study was based on the form and shape analysis of three-dimensional facial surface models of 456 individuals aged 14-83 years.

Material And Methods: The methodology was based on classic and morphometric analysis of dental models of newborns with cBCLP or BCLP + B. These analyses included metric analysis, coherent point drift-dense correspondence analysis, superprojection methods, and multivariate statistics.
