TLDR
In this article, the authors compared craniofacial morphology in Malaysian infants with unoperated cleft lip and palate (CLP) with a control sample of unaffected Malaysian infants, and found that CLP affects the size and orientation of the nasal bones and is associated with an altered morphology of some facial bones at positions distant from the region of the cleft.Abstract:
Background: The application of three-dimensional computed tomography
(3D CT) to analyse craniofacial morphology in individuals with cleft
lip and palate (CLP) enables detailed assessments to be made of
asymmetry in the region of the cleft and in regions distant from the
cleft. The aim of this study was to compare craniofacial morphology in
a sample of Malaysian infants with unoperated CLP with a control sample
of unaffected Malaysian infants. Methods: The study sample comprised 29
individuals: 10 with unilateral CLP (UCLP), 5 with bilateral CLP
(BCLP), 7 with cleft lip and primary palate (CLPP), and 7 with isolated
cleft palate (ICP). The control sample consisted of 12 non-cleft (NC)
infants. All subjects were between 0.4 and 12.2 months of age. Nine
mid-facial and 4 nasal bone landmarks were located on 3D CT scans and
compared to a midline reference plane, which was created using the
landmarks basion, sella, and nasion. Unpaired t tests and F tests were
used to compare means and variances between sample groups, whereas
paired t tests were used for comparisons within the UCLP and NC groups.
Results: Differences in variances of some mid-facial breadths and nasal
bone dimensions were found in both male and female cleft groups when
compared to the NC sample. In the UCLP group, some nasal bone and
facial breadth dimensions were larger than in the NC sample and the
nasal bone tended to deviate to the contralateral side of the cleft.
Conclusion: CLP affects the size and orientation of the nasal bones and
is associated with an altered morphology of some facial bones at
positions distant from the region of the cleft.read more

Correlates of Non-Clinical Facial Asymmetry and Facial Sexual Dimorphism in a Sub-Saharan African Population
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore if human variation in measures of socioeconomic and health status is reflected in variation in facial asymmetry as a measure of developmental stability, or reflected in variations in facial masculinity/femininity as a measuring of facial sexual dimorphism, and conclude that individuals with higher facial symmetry and facial femininity were perceived as more attractive, more suitable as marriage partners and more caring, whereas less symmetrical and more masculine individuals were seen as more aggressive.

3D-CT evaluation of mandibular morphology after mandibular outer cortex osteotomy in young miniature pigs: The role of the periosteum
TL;DR: The periosteum plays an important role in bone growth and fracture healing and resulted in postoperative mandibular deviation in young miniature pigs, which may offset the phenomenon of mandIBular deviation to a certain extent.

TL;DR: Low mandibular ramus height may cause dysfunction of the masseter muscles but not the temporal muscle on the affected side in patients with hemifacial microsomia, according to retrospective study of imaging and physiological data.

Facial Anthropometric Evaluation of Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate Patients: Infancy Through Adolescence.
TL;DR: In the girls with UCLP, various craniofacial dimensions have different growth rates with some parts growing slower than others, thus growth-related curves and equations were obtained and presented.
