Spatially-dense three-dimensional analysis of the midfacial skeletal shape asymmetry in skeletal Class III patients
The three-dimensional spatially-dense method allows quantitative and visual analysis of shape asymmetry of the midfacial skeleton. Skeletal Class III patients with occlusal plane inclination and mandibular lateral deviation exhibit a significantly greater degree of midfacial skeletal asymmetry, with the alveolar process identified as the main asymmetric site of their midfacial skeleton.
