Facial asymmetry in young healthy subjects evaluated by statistical shape analysis

Abstract: Statistical shape analysis, a relatively a new method for biological research, compares body forms by using specific landmarks determined by anatomical prominences. In this study, we aimed to identify normal facial asymmetry between the right and the left sides of the face. Facial landmark data were collected from two-dimensional digital images of 321 young healthy subjects (150 males and 171 females). These data were analysed using Euclidean distance matrix analysis. The number of significantly asymmetric lin… Show more

“…This is consistent with the aforementioned studies of other racial/ethnic groups conducted by Farkas and Cheung [4] (North American Caucasians), Primozic et al [5] (Slovenian Caucasians), and Ferrario et al [6] (Caucasians in Italy); however, this result is contrary of the finding of Ercan et al's analysis of a young Turkish sample [7]. Interestingly, for both genders, the ratio of Euclidean distances from crista philtr (cph) to labiale superius (ls) and Geodesic distances from tragion (t) and nasion (n) show that the left side is statistically significantly wider than the right side, which is opposite of general finding of this study.…”

“…However, there is no consistent finding for the aged match group in their study to our data. A similar trend was found in the study of Ercan et al [7] for the cph-ls. Although we cannot make a direct comparison due to the difference on the age (7-12 years vs. 17-21 years), they reported a similar result of ours in that the left side of cph-ls is wider than the right side for male subjects.…”
