title: [An approach to development of skeletal malocclusion with mandibular lateral displacement].
abstract: Mandibular lateral displacement (MLD) is a result of temporarily accelerated growth of unilateral condyle. Structure of lower face of typical mandibular lateral displacement malocclusion was analysed by means of modified denture frame analysis. Results of measurement indicated that noteworthy present on difference of maxillary occlusal plane between right and left dentitions. It suggested that the MLD malocclusion result from unilateral elongation of the molars due to posterior discrepancy and functional displacement of mandible associated with the differential condylar growth.
