  • Title: Asymmetric mandibular prognathism: a 30-year retrospective case report.
    Author: Decker JD.
    Journal: Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop; 2006 Mar; 129(3):436-43. PubMed ID: 16527643.
    Abstract:
    A healthy white man with marked facial and dental asymmetry, a consequence of unilateral mandibular condylar hyperplasia, was treated with conventional fixed edgewise appliance therapy combined with orthognathic surgery (bilateral sagittal split osteotomy of the mandibular ramus). Pretreatment, posttreatment, and long-term follow up records for the patient at ages 26 years 11 months, 28 years 6 months, and 58 years 7 months are presented. Thirty years after treatment, the results remain stable. The pretreatment and posttreatment records were presented to the American Board of Orthodontics in 1976 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for board certification.
