Vertical Mandibular and Trunk Symmetry in Indonesian Orthodontic Patients

Abstract: To analyze differences in vertical mandibular and trunk symmetry in orthodontic patients. Material and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of 129 growing orthodontic patients who sought orthodontic treatment at the Dental Hospital Universitas Sumatera Utara, Indonesia. Mandibular symmetry index was observed with pre-treatment panoramic radiography based on Kjellberg's technique and trunk symmetry was evaluated based on questionnaires and visual observation. Vertical mandibular asymmetry was decided if th… Show more

“…In this way, its early identification becomes essential, making it possible to use panoramic radiography, which is one of the most routinely used tools. In fact, according to Habets et al the vertical mandibular asymmetry index should be evaluated in the diagnosis, since associated with other signs it increases the possibility of acquiring a TMD, a hypothesis that was verified in the Bezuur study where 74% of patients with TTM presented condylar asymmetry (1) (4) (5).…”
