[Facial symmetry after conservative treatment of unilateral condylar fracture in children: a three-dimensional study].

Conclusions: This short-termed study indicates that children's growth potential of condylar is under average after conservative treatments. Because the bone hyperosteogeny of glenoid fossa compensates the hypotrophy of condylar, no deviation of pogonion is detected. PMID: 29972989 [PubMed - in process]
