Abstract
Major type of facial asymmetry results from facial deformity and needs surgical correction. To diagnose facial asymmetry and set a treatment plane for patients, setting a sagittal reference plane is crucial. The purpose of this study is comparison of measurements of sagittal soft tissue reference point to three different sagittal planes. The subjects are 25 of asymmetry patients (M:15, F:10) and 19 of normal people. There are differences in point Gnathion and Stomion. Most of measurement of sagittal reference points showed within 1 mm difference from sagittal reference plane. Deviation of point Pronasale in Sa1 plane revealed significant difference among 3 reference planes. The deviation of Gnathion was proportional to the deviation of Stomion in all 3 reference planes.
