Posteriormente otros autores lo emplearon para el diagnóstico de asimetrías faciales y de la hiperplasia del apófisis coronoides. El propósito de este estudio es dar a conocer el análisis panorámico de Levandoski como medio de diagnóstico para asimetrías faciales. Se seleccionaron 27 radiografías panorámicas de niños entre edades de 3 a 6 años, dados de baja en el periodo 2001-2003 en el Departamento de Odontopediatría de la DEPeI de la FO de la UNAM, que cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión y exclusión. Se encontraron varios grados de asimetrías en el 100% de los casos. El 59.25% del total de la población presentó asimetrías faciales de más de 3 mm de diferencia comparando el lado izquierdo con el derecho. Por lo que se concluye que las asimetrías faciales representan un problema común en la población infantil y que es importante su diagnóstico utilizando diferentes métodos eficaces tales como el análisis panorámico de Levandoski.]]></p></abstract>

Later other authors have used it for the diagnosis of facial asymmetries and hyperplasia of the coronoids process. The objective of this study was to present the Levandoski Panoramic Analysis as a mean to diagnose facial asymmetries. Twenty seven panoramic radiography of children between 3 to 6 years-old, that were not considered patients anymore, during 2001-2003 in the Department of Pediatric Dentistry of the DEPeI of the FO of the UNAM were selected, that fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Several degrees of asymmetries in the 100% of the cases were founded. The 59.25% of the total population presented facial asymmetries of more than 3 mm when comparing left side with the right side. It is concluded that facial asymmetries represent a common problem for children population and also that the diagnosis is very important using several and efficient methods such as Levandoski panoramic analysis.]]></p></abstract>
