Differential Diagnosis of the Idiopathic Laterally Deviated Mandible
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 11/05/09

Kawamoto HK et al. – Among patients who present for an orthognathic evaluation, a common finding is the presence of a laterally deviated mandible. At times, there is a cause to which the lower face asymmetry can be attributed, such as personal history of trauma to the face, presence of congenital disease known to affect the mandible, or other developmental abnormalities. Proper diagnosis and subsequent treatment of the underlying abnormality of the deviated mandible ensure the patient of the appropriate orthognathic reconstruction and decrease the likelihood of skeletal relapse after surgery.
