title: [Skull deformities as sequela of unilateral mandibular dysbalance. 4. Secondary changes in the mandible].
abstract: Distinct morphological changes were found one year after partial unilateral mandibular resection. The stump left after resection was smaller in all dimensions than the corresponding part of the intact half of the mandible, and the coronoid process inclined further posteriorwards as age increased. The temporomandibular joints were atrophized in all and arthrotically deformed in some cases. The intact halves of the mandibles presented a more or less S-shaped curvature in all cases. No dependence could be found between these changes and post-surgical age.
