Three-Dimensional Mandibular Asymmetry Assessment in Unilateral Type IIA Craniofacial Microsomia Using Functional Unit Analysis: A Retrospective Case-Control Study

Type IIA CFM primarily involves the condylar unit, with the angular unit demonstrating significant growth variability. The developmental transition in asymmetry correlations from condylar to angular units suggests distinct growth patterns in CFM. These findings enhanced our understanding of mandibular morphology in CFM and suggested potential directions for future therapeutic research.
