Three-Dimensional Analysis of the Cranial Base Structure in Patients with Facial Asymmetry

Diagnostics, 2023
Facial asymmetry is often seen in patients with skeletal mandibular prognathism and is associated with deformities in the maxillofacial and head regions.

Analysis of Facial Asymmetry [PDF]

Archives of Craniofacial Surgery, 2015
Facial symmetry is an important component of attractiveness. However, functional symmetry is favorable to aesthetic symmetry. In addition, fluctuating asymmetry is more natural and common, even if patients find such asymmetry to be noticeable. However, fluctuating asymmetry remains difficult to define. Several studies have shown that a certain level of

Facial Asymmetry [PDF]

, 2021
AbstractAny abnormality of the soft or hard tissues of the face can lead to asymmetry. This could be a consequence of a congenital anomaly, a developmental or an acquired defect. Asymmetry can be progressive in nature, while those acquired due to trauma or ablative surgeries are non- progressive.

Comparison Between Facilitating and Suppressing Facial Emotional Expressions Using Frontal EEG Asymmetry

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2020
The prefrontal cortex plays a key role in emotional state. Electroencephalography (EEG) studies have reported relationships between frontal asymmetry in the alpha band, emotional state, and emotion-related motivation.

Variation at genes influencing facial morphology are not associated with developmental imprecision in human faces. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Facial asymmetries are commonly used as a proxy for human developmental imprecision resulting from inbreeding, and thus reduced genetic heterozygosity. Several environmental factors influence human facial asymmetry (e.g., health care, parasites), but the

Facial asymmetry is negatively related to condition in female macaque monkeys [PDF]

, 2012
The face is an important visual trait in social communication across many species. In evolutionary terms, there are large and obvious selective advantages in detecting healthy partners, both in terms of avoiding individuals with poor health to minimise ...

Dual nerve transfer for facial reanimation

Archives of Medicine and Health Sciences, 2021
The facial nerve is the 7th cranial nerve and carries nerve fibers which control facial movement and expression. This nerve also carries fibers that are involved for the production of taste from the anterior 2/3rd of the tongue and tears from the ...

Symmetry Is Related to Sexual Dimorphism in Faces: Data Across Culture and Species [PDF]

, 2008
Summary Background Many animals both display and assess multiple signals. Two prominently studied traits are symmetry and sexual dimorphism, which, for many animals, are proposed cues to heritable fitness benefits.

Development of Landmark-based Facial Asymmetry Evaluation [PDF]

, 2023
This paper presents a novel development of a real-time evaluation system for facial asymmetry. Using this tool, it is expected possibly to assess the severity of facial asymmetry based on local and global comparisons of facial components. While the local

Facial asymmetry and midsagittal plane definition in 3D: A bias-free, automated method. [PDF]

, 2023
Symmetry is a fundamental biological concept in all living organisms. It is related to a variety of physical and social traits ranging from genetic background integrity and developmental stability to the perception of physical appearance.
