Abstract
Objectives : Estimate the prevalence of mandibular asymmetries in Brazilian adolescents and investigate the demographic and skeletal factors associated to the asymmetries. Methods : Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images from 376 individuals aged from 10 to 19 were analysed to investigate mandibular asymmetry categorized as relative mandibular symmetry, moderate asymmetry, and severe asymmetry. Exposure variables included sex, age, side of mandibular deviation, sagittal and vertical skeletal pattern of the individuals, and cranial base angulation. The chi-square test was used to evaluate the association among asymmetry and the exposure variables. Gross prevalence rations were estimated and adjusted by Poisson regression with robust variance. Significance level was established at 5%.
