“…Gaur et al [ 50 ], on the other hand, found that there were only significant differences in the eruption of the maxillary central incisors and mandibular canines between the two hemiarches in children. A recent systematic review [ 51 ] analyzed the genetic factors associated with asymmetric mandibular growth, finding potential etiological factors including PITX2, ACTN3, ENPP1, and ESR1. However, to date the scientific evidence of this association is scarce; and, furthermore, no significant relationship has been found between asymmetric mandibular growth and asymmetry in dental eruption.…”

The aim was to analyze the relationship between BMI (body mass index) and the sequence and chronology of the eruption of permanent teeth in a sample of Spanish children. Methods: The study design was descriptive, cross-sectional, observational, and epidemiological. Patients of pediatric age were included. Emerged teeth, and patient’s age, race, and sex were recorded. The nutritional status of the child was assessed by calculating the BMI, according to the WHO parameters. Statistical analysis was carried out with a confidence interval of 95%. A prediction model with logistic regression models was obtained. Results: A total of 725 pediatric patients between 4 and 14 years old were analyzed. BMI acts as a predictor variable for eruption symmetry, as it was most frequent in overweight children (p < 0.001). The probability of symmetry in dental eruption increases for South American children, for an extra month of age, and each meter of height. BMI had an influence in the first tooth to appear only in the fourth quadrant. BMI did not seem to influence present teeth, and the sequence of permanent dental eruption was not influenced by the BMI category. Conclusions: Age, weight, height, and BMI act as significant predictors for eruption symmetry. BMI does not produce alterations in the eruption sequence of the permanent dentition.

“…Although efforts were made to acquire the images with a neutral facial expression, some infants were not fully compliant, and slight facial expressions may have created bias in our measured parameters. Furthermore, gene mutations also have certain influences on the formation of craniofacial asymmetry, which was not considered and excluded from the study [36,37]. Nevertheless, these drawbacks could be improved by properly adjusting the measuring modality, collecting more participants, using a better fitting cap, and minimizing facial expressions during the scans.…”

Objective: To evaluate the development of the craniofacial region in healthy infants and analyze the asymmetry pattern in the first year of life. Methods: The participants were grouped by sex and age (1, 2, 4, 6, 9, and 12 months) to receive three-dimensional (3D) photographs. Stereoscopic craniofacial photos were captured and transformed into a series of craniofacial meshes in each group. The growth patterns of the anthropometric indices and the degree of craniofacial asymmetry were measured, and average craniofacial meshes and color-asymmetry maps with craniofacial asymmetry scores were calculated. Results: A total of 373 photographs from 66 infants were obtained. In both genders, the highest and lowest growth rates for all anthropometric indices were noted between 1 and 2 months and between 9 and 12 months, respectively. Overall, male infants had higher anthropometric indices, head volume, and head circumference than female infants. The craniofacial asymmetry score was presented with a descending pattern from 1 to 12 months of age in both sex groups. Both sex groups showed decreased left-sided laterality in the temporal-parietal-occipital region between 1 and 4 months of age and increased right frontal-temporal prominence between 6 and 12 months of age. Conclusions: A longitudinal evaluation of the craniofacial growth of healthy infants during their first year of life was presented.

“…In an attempt to minimize the need for future orthognathic surgery, trials have been conducted using maxillary traction distractors [9]. It is important to consider whether this phenomenon is caused by maxillary hypoplasia or asymmetric mandibular growth, as both have been identified as genetically based causes [10]. Orthodontic treatment is typically required for several years, usually starting shortly after birth and lasting until adulthood.…”

Cleft lip and palate is the most common asymmetric congenital condition of the orofacial region, which also finds its reflection in dental anomalies. The aim of the study was to present the dental asymmetries of the front region of the maxilla in cleft patients. Materials and Methods: We analyzed plaster casts and panoramic X-rays of 154 patients with total clefts and 151 healthy individuals. The cleft patients’ age ranged between 7.1 and 20 years (mean 13.18). The control group had a similar age range (7.1 and 20 years, mean 13.44). The digital caliper was used to measure the width of the teeth. Each measurement was performed three times each. Results: Most of the dental anomalies among cleft patients referred to the lateral incisors and were focused on the cleft side. The asymmetry of the incisors is reflected both in the number of teeth in the cleft region and their width. The lateral incisor was missing twice as frequently on the cleft side of the individual. If present, the lateral incisor was usually ±1.5 mm narrower than the incisor on the opposite side. In bilateral clefts, dental anomalies occurred more frequently on the left side. Conclusions: Dental problems occurred more frequently in patients with total cleft lip and palate than in healthy individuals. The most commonly affected teeth were the lateral incisors. The width of the lateral incisors was reduced in cleft patients—showing a smaller mesiodistal dimension on the cleft side.
