The Levandoski Panoramic Analysis in the diagnosis of facial and dental asymmetries
Abstract
Facial and dental asymmetries in 41 children from 8 to 12 year old were evaluated using the Levandoski Panographic Analysis. A high correlation between the standard facial photograph and linear measurement from panoramic radiograph were found. Varying degrees of facial and mandibular asymmetry were common in 100% of the sample. Significant association between the level of the glenoid fossa and the level of the eye from a frontal point of view were found; eleven patients (36.5%) showed left eye higher accompanied by a higher left fossa. Twenty patients (48.78%) presented with mandibular midline deviation toward the left side. The side with the longer condyle was usually accompanied by a longer coronoid in the ipsilateral side. The results of this study support the usefulness of the Levandoski Panographic analysis in diagnosis of facial and dental asymmetries, and its relation to the findings on the facial photographs.
