Comprehensive and accessible resource that covers all crucial aspects of dentofacial and occlusal asymmetries Dentofacial and Occlusal Asymmetries covers all crucial aspects of asymmetries encountered in the stomatognathic region regarding diagnosis, treatment planning, management, and prognosis. Divided into three core sections, the first part focuses on the etiology of asymmetry and whether it is congenital or acquired through disease or trauma. The second and third sections go on to discuss localization and management, providing information on topics such as interception, correction, and camouflage. Specific sample topics covered in the book include: Treatment approaches: interceptive, tooth movements, goal-oriented biomechanics, and jaw repositioning Treatment principles: dentofacial orthopedics, camouflage, and orthodontic-surgical treatment Localization and problem list: medical and dental history, clinical examination, dental cast analysis, and radiographic/imaging assessment Medical, social and psychological aspects: growth disorders and helping children and their families with facial differences Written by a team of renowned experts in the field, Dentofacial and Occlusal Asymmetries will serve as an invaluable resource to postgraduates in orthodontic, pediatric dentistry, and oral and maxillofacial surgery programs as well as orthodontists, pediatric dentists, pediatricians, and oral and maxillofacial surgeons aiming for optimal results in the diagnosis and management of these complex malocclusions and dentofacial deformities.

True bilateral body symmetry is largely a theoretical concept that seldom exists in living organisms. Right-left differences occur everywhere in nature where two congruent types are present.Symmetry can be defined as "equality or correspondence in form of parts distributed around a center or an axis, at the two extremes or poles, or on the two opposite sides of the body.Clinically, symmetry means balance while significant asymmetry means imbalance. The dentofacial asymmetry is considered a major etiological factor of malocclusion. Many factors as congenital malformations, digital habits, interproximal caries and premature extractions can influence dental arch asymmetry. Early recognition and treatment of dental arch asymmetries could minimize the need for complex treatment mechanics. However, there is a paucity of data in the literature that addresses the issue of dental arch asymmetry in the mixed dentition. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to quantify and describe dental arch asymmetry in a group of Egyptian children in the mixed dentition by using a computer aided-system.
