Curvature analysis is informative for objectively assess whether the shape of the condyles matches that of the glenoid fossa. In this study, a three-dimensional (3-D) quantification of bilateral asymmetrical condyles was firstly conducted to identify the specific role of 3-D condylar configuration for mandibular asymmetry.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>55 adult patients, 26 males (26\u2009\u00b1\u20095\u00a0yrs) and 29 females (26\u2009\u00b1\u20095\u00a0yrs), diagnosed with mandibular asymmetry were included. The examination of deviation of chin point, deviation of dental midlines, inclination of occlusal plane, and depth of the mandibular occlusal plane were conducted. After the clinical investigation, computed tomography images from the patients were used to reconstruct the 3-D mandibular models. Then the condylar volume, surface size, surface curvature and bone mineral density were evaluated independently for each patient on non-deviated and deviated sides of temporomandibular joint.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Both the condylar surface size and volume were significantly larger on deviated side (surface size: 1666.14\u2009\u00b1\u2009318.3\u00a0mm<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>, volume: 1981.5\u2009\u00b1\u2009418.3\u00a0mm<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>). The anterior slope of the condyle was flatter (0.12\u2009\u00b1\u20090.06) and the posterior slope (0.39\u2009\u00b1\u20090.08) was prominently convex on the deviated side. The corresponding bone mineral density values were 523.01 \u00b1118.1 HU and 549.07 \u00b1120. 6 HU on anterior and posterior slopes.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The incongruence presented on the deviated side resulted in a reduction in contact areas and, thus, an increase in contact stresses and changes of bone density. All aforementioned results suggest that the difference existing between deviated and non-deviated condyles correlates with facial asymmetrical development. In mandibular asymmetry patients, the 3-D morphology of condyle on deviated side differ from the non-deviated side, which indicates the association between asymmetrical jaw function and joint remodeling.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/1746-160x-9-42","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,12,20]],"date-time":"2013-12-20T02:02:33Z","timestamp":1387504953000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":57,"title":["Mandibular asymmetry: a three-dimensional quantification of bilateral condyles"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Han","family":"Lin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ping","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yi","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shuangquan","family":"Wan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xin","family":"Shu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yue","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Youhua","family":"Zheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,12,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"323_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e59929","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0059929","volume":"8","author":"S Zhou","year":"2013","unstructured":"Zhou S, Yan J, Da H, Yang Y, Wang N, Wang W, Ding Y, Sun S: A correlational study of scoliosis and trunk balance in adult patients with mandibular deviation.
