Abstract
Q1. In the present study, the authors used a 2-mm asymmetric setback to group symmetric and asymmetric setback groups. The asymmetric setback is typically necessary when the mandibular asymmetry is yaw-dominant type, but not in cases of roll-dominant or translation-dominant asymmetries. Therefore, some roll and translation asymmetries may have been present in the symmetry group, resulting in different types of bony interferences during surgery and ultimately contributing to mandibular width widening. What were the causes for the widening of mandibular width in the symmetry group?
期刊介绍:
The Korean Journal of Orthodontics (KJO) is an international, open access, peer reviewed journal published in January, March, May, July, September, and November each year. It was first launched in 1970 and, as the official scientific publication of Korean Association of Orthodontists, KJO aims to publish high quality clinical and scientific original research papers in all areas related to orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics. Specifically, its interest focuses on evidence-based investigations of contemporary diagnostic procedures and treatment techniques, expanding to significant clinical reports of diverse treatment approaches.
The scope of KJO covers all areas of orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics including successful diagnostic procedures and treatment planning, growth and development of the face and its clinical implications, appliance designs, biomechanics, TMJ disorders and adult treatment. Specifically, its latest interest focuses on skeletal anchorage devices, orthodontic appliance and biomaterials, 3 dimensional imaging techniques utilized for dentofacial diagnosis and treatment planning, and orthognathic surgery to correct skeletal disharmony in association of orthodontic treatment.
