| Description | The aim of the study was to find out whether in patients with unilateral crossbite between the age of 6 and 11 the asymmetric growth of condyles and mandibular rami at the side with crossbite will appear. The patients were compared with a control group with an ideal occlusion. Measurements were performed in groups of patients with unilateral crossbite (n=44) and with an ideal occlusion (n=38) without preceding orthodontic treatment. To establish height parameters of the mandible, panoramic X-ray pictures were used. Measurements and statistical evaluation results suggest that no statistically significant asymmetry is found in patients with unilateral crossbite. |
