Abstract

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between functional laterality (hand preference) and mandibular asymmetry in skeletal Class I, normodivergent patients. Methods: 21 left-handed and 40 right-handed Class I normodivergent patients were included in the study. The hand preferences of the participants were determined by using the Oldfied hand preference questionnaire. Mandibular condylar height (CH), ramal height (RH), and total height (CH+RH) were measured on pretreatment panoramic radiographic images of the patients, and asymmetry values were obtained according to the formula of asymmetry indices. Data were analyzed with the Student’s t-test and Pearson chi-square. Results: Right and left CH values were greater in left-handed patients than in right-handed patients. Right and left RH and CH+RH values were greater in right-handed patients than in left-handed. However, there was no difference between the measurements (p > .05). There was no significant relationship between the functional values and hand-use preference (p > .05). Conclusions: Hand use preference was not associated with condylar, ramal, and total mandibular asymmetry.
手的偏好与下颌不对称之间的关系:初步研究
研究目的本研究的目的是评估骨骼发育正常的 I 类偏侧患者的功能性偏侧(手的偏好)与下颌骨不对称之间的关系。方法:研究纳入了 21 名左撇子和 40 名右撇子 I 类正常变异患者。参与者的手部偏好由 Oldfied 手部偏好调查问卷确定。在患者治疗前的全景放射影像上测量下颌髁突高度(CH)、斜方肌高度(RH)和总高度(CH+RH),并根据不对称指数公式得出不对称值。数据分析采用学生 t 检验和皮尔逊卡方检验。结果显示左撇子患者的左右CH值大于右撇子患者。右利手患者的左右RH值和CH+RH值均大于左利手患者。但是,测量结果之间没有差异(P > .05)。功能值与用手偏好之间没有明显关系(P > .05)。结论用手偏好与髁突、斜方肌和下颌骨整体不对称无关。
