Description of difference between the measurements of distances in paired craniofacial structures.

Definition Description
dML(R-L) dMLR–dMLL (R-L) refers to the difference between the measurements of distances in paired craniofacial structures (right–left)
dMBL(R-L) dMBLR–dMBLL
dRH(R-L) dRHR–dRHL
dGfx(R-L) dGfxR–dGfxL x(R-L) refers to the difference between the measurements of distances in paired craniofacial structures from MSP, and (+) indicates that the right craniofacial structure is more lateral than the left craniofacial structure from MSP
