Three-dimensional laser scans of the subjects' faces were used to assess facial asymmetry. For each part of the face two-way multivariate analysis of covariance was performed to assess differences among the subjects, and an independent sample t<\/jats:italic>-test was used to assess the significance of the differences between data sets.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results: <\/jats:title>\n Within all dentition phases, the subjects with CB had statistically significantly greater facial asymmetry of the whole face than the subjects without CB, with the greatest values in the lower part of the face (P<\/jats:italic> < .05). In the middle part of the face a significant difference was observed in the mixed dentition phases.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions: <\/jats:title>\n Children with unilateral functional CB exhibited a greater facial asymmetry than children without this malocclusion in all the dentition phases herein investigated. The greatest differences were seen for the lower part of the face. Further, facial asymmetry in the middle part of the face became clinically relevant in combination with the transition from primary to mixed dentition phase.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2319\/041012-299.1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,8,13]],"date-time":"2012-08-13T14:50:06Z","timestamp":1344869406000},"page":"253-258","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Three-dimensional evaluation of facial asymmetry in association with unilateral functional crossbite in the primary, early, and late mixed dentition phases"],"prefix":"10.2319","volume":"83","author":[{"given":"Jasmina","family":"Primozic","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Scientist, Department of Orthodontics, Medical Faculty, University of Ljubljana, Ljubljana, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giuseppe","family":"Perinetti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Fellow, Department of Medical, Surgical and Health Sciences, School of Dentistry, University of Trieste, Trieste, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stephen","family":"Richmond","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Professor, Department of Dental Health and Biological Sciences, Dental School, Cardiff University, Cardiff, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maja","family":"Ovsenik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Assistant Professor, Department of Orthodontics, Medical Faculty, University of Ljubljana, Ljubljana, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1164","reference":[{"key":"i0003-3219-83-2-253-b01","series-title":"Eur J Orthod","first-page":"153","article-title":"Prevalence of malocclusion and orthodontic treatment need in children and adolescents in Bogota, Colombia.
