In a previous study in the rabbit, the authors defined the macroscopic growth alterations after unilateral partial facial paralysis. Dry skull measurements revealed a reduced premaxillary, maxillary, mandibular, and anterior corpus length with a simultaneous increase in mandibular ramal height on the paralyzed side. The authors hypothesize that these mandibular growth alterations are, among others, caused by alterations in condylar growth activity and that an altered occlusal relationship may be involved in the adaptive condylar growth response after facial paralysis. |
