“…The results in the present study reported larger mean values of both maxillary and mandibular arches width at IFMD, ISMD in addition to mandibular ICD in boys than in girls, these findings are in line with those obtained in other studies (21,24,58,59) .Furthermore this study revealed that the length of maxillary and mandibular dental arches among boys were larger in all dimensions mean values than girls, this in accordance with other studies (17,60) . This might be attributed to the smaller and smoother bony ridge and alveolar processes in girls than in boys and due to physical characteristics and strongest musculature in males which play role in facial development (19,60) . While the findings of the current study were in disagreement with other studies which concluded that there were no such differences between genders in the dental arches (36,61) , this disagreement could be due to ethnic differences, sample size and /or selection criteria.…”

Background: Asthma has an influence on craniofacial development. Recently evidences show that there is an association between oral health problems and chronic lung disease. The present study was designed to estimate the changes in arch dimension measurements among asthmatic children aged 12 years old who were collected from AL-Zahra Center Advisory for Allergy and Asthma and compare them with the non-asthmatic children of the same age and gender. Material and Methods: Fifty children (25 asthmatic and 25 non-asthmatic children) were included for the odontometric measurement. For both upper and lower study models, photographs were taken using special photographic apparatus for each child, and the statistical analysis were done by using SPSS version 19. For permanent dentition, two liner measurements were utilized for each dental arch including width and length. Results: The results of the current research revealed that the mean values of dental arch dimensions, width and length; for both maxillary and mandibular dental arches among asthmatic children were lower as compared to nonasthmatic children in both genders. Conclusions: The findings of the present study showed that asthma and inhalation treatment in asthmatic children played an important role to minimize odontometric measurement including dental arch dimensions.

“…Al-Zubair and Agrawal et al, reported that the mandibular dimension was considered asymmetric when the difference between the two sides was more than 2-3 mm, while Gribel BF et al also reported that the left and right mandibular differences of 4-5 mm was still considered as a normal asymmetry of face dimensions. 29,30 Some researches reveal that facial asymmetry is more common to occur on the right side with the same distribution between males and females. 31,32 This condition is probably because the growth on the right side of the face is more dominant than that of the left side; it happens to the larger brain dimensions on the right side as well.…”

Evaluation of the mandible was used for age and sex determination in the forensic field and it established the treatment planning in dentistry. The present study aims to determine mandibular length growth on male and female group aged 9-25 years old using panoramic radiograph. The research was conducted using analytical cross-sectional design method. The subject of this research was 412 panoramic radioraphs of patients aged 9-25 years old. It involved a totalsamples of 207 males and 205 females. This research was conducted from May to October 2017 in RSGM Padjadjaran University Bandung to meassure the length and height of mandibula from the point in condyleus to mentone. The MannWhitney test results showed a significant difference in mandibular length between men and women and no significant difference between the right andleft mandibular length in men and women. There is a difference between male and female mandibular length growth, in which the increase of growth of mandibular length in female is earlier than that of male. Male mandibular length is greater than female.

“…Arches of healthy persons with full natural dentitions usually show only negligible asymmetry [67]. In malocclusion cases, dental and facial asymmetries are more frequently observed and more pronounced [68,69].…”

Animal bodies in general and faces in particular show mirror symmetry with respect to the median-sagittal plane, with exceptions rarely occurring. Bilateral symmetry to the median sagittal plane of the body also evolved very early. From an evolutionary point of view, it should therefore have fundamental advantages, e.g., more effective locomotion and chewing abilities. On the other hand, the recognition of bilaterally symmetric patterns is an important module in our visual perception. In particular, the recognition of faces with different spatial orientations and their identification is strongly related to the recognition of bilateral symmetry. Maxillofacial surgery and Dentistry affect effective masticatory function and perceived symmetry of the lower third of the face. Both disciplines have the ability to eliminate or mitigate asymmetries with respect to form and function. In our review, we will demonstrate symmetric structures from single teeth to the whole face. We will further describe different approaches to quantify cranial, facial and dental asymmetries by using either landmarks or 3D surface models. Severe facial asymmetries are usually caused by malformations such as hemifacial hyperplasia, injury or other diseases such as Noma or head and neck cancer. This could be an important sociobiological reason for a correlation between asymmetry and perceived disfigurement. The aim of our review is to show how facial symmetry and attractiveness are related and in what way dental and facial structures and the symmetry of their shape and color influence aesthetic perception. We will further demonstrate how modern technology can be used to improve symmetry in facial prostheses and maxillofacial surgery.
