Facial asymmetry revisited: Part I- diagnosis and treatment planning
Journal of Oral Biology and Craniofacial Research, 2018 Facial asymmetry is an individualized characteristic and is commonly observed sub clinically in overall population. However, clinically significant facial asymmetry with associated morphologic, esthetic and stomatognathic problems warrant investigation ...
