The association between radiographic evidence of mandibular asymmetry and history of prepubertal trauma was analyzed in orthognathic surgery patients and orthodontic patients. There were statistically significant associations between radiographic evidence of mandibular asymmetry and a history of prepubertal trauma in both patient groups. The results suggest that prepubertal trauma could be one etiologic factor for the development of mandibular asymmetry.
在正颌外科手术患者和正畸患者中，分析了下颌不对称的影像学证据与青春期前创伤史之间的关联。在两组患者中，下颌不对称的影像学证据与青春期前创伤史之间均存在统计学上的显著关联。结果表明，青春期前创伤可能是下颌不对称发展的一个病因。
