DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT PLANNING OF MANDIBULAR LATEROGNATHISM.

This article from the Romanian Journal of Oral Rehabilitation discusses the diagnosis and treatment planning of mandibular laterognathism, a condition characterized by misalignments in the jaw. The study focuses on using virtual planning technology for an interdisciplinary approach to manage mandibular prognathism, a specific dental irregularity. The researchers were able to restore interocclusal relationships, achieve facial symmetry, and improve the aesthetic and functional appearance of patients with severe facial asymmetry. The article also emphasizes the importance of an interdisciplinary approach involving orthodontic treatment and orthognathic surgery for adult patients with class III malocclusion.
