Objective: To investigate correlation between respective characteristics of deviated mandible and dental compensation(1st molar and canine) in patients with facial asymmetry using CBCT.
Methods: The subjects consisted of 30 patients with facial asymmetry and 30 adults without facial asymmetry. Tooth vertical distance and axial angle to reference plane were investigated and skeletal measurements of mandible were also investigated using CBCT. Correlation coefficients were calculated between skeletal measurements of mandible and dental measurements.
Results: Menton deviation showed marginally positive correlation with maxillary 1st molar and canine distance of non-deviated side and maxillary canine angle of deviated side and marginally negative correlation with mandibular 1st molar of deviated side. Mandibular body length difference showed marginally negative correlation with maxillary canine angle of deviated side and positive correlation with mandibular 1st molar angle of deviated side. Ramus length difference showed negative correlation with maxillary 1st molar angle of non-deviated side. Ramus inclination difference showed marginally negative correlation with maxillary 1st molar and canine distance of non-deviated side and marginally negative correlation with mandibular 1st molar distance of non-deviated side.
Conclusions: Dental compensation(1st molar, canine) was correlated with respective characteristics of deviated mandible in patients with facial asymmetry
