Vertical Dimensions of Mandible in Class II Subdivision Malocclusion with Skeletal Asymmetry

• Advancements in 3-dimensional imaging analysis, utilizing cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), have allowed for further investigation of skeletal asymmetry. • While past 2-dimensional studies attributed dentoalveolar deviation to unilateral Class II malocclusion, recent 3D studies have found a primarily skeletal contribution.1 • There is much debate on the impact of condylar morphology on malocclusion in patients with Class II subdivision and significant skeletal asymmetry.2 • Some authors concluded that condylar characteristics are not correlated with skeletal asymmetry, while others reported a correlation between a greater condyle angulation and skeletal asymmetry.2-
