title: The use of 99mTc-MDP bone scanning to assess facial bone growth.
abstract: Bone scanning is an important technique to detect mandibular growth, and its quantitation aids in deciding the optimal timing for surgery. Here, we will discuss a case of abnormal mandibular growth and use of bone scanning to evaluate the facial bone growth.
