Objective: This study aims to determine the frequency of mandibular asymmetries using digital panoramic radiographs that display complete teeth. Material and methods: A descriptive, observational, and retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted. The records of all digital panoramic radiographs from patients aged 18 to 59 years, taken at the Dental Image radiographic center during the period 2016-2020, were reviewed. Panoramic radiographs were evaluated for the presence of mandibular asymmetry using the Habets index. Digital radiographic tracing was employed to assess variables including ascending ramus height (C+R), mandibular ramus height (RH), and condylar height (CH). Symmetrical and asymmetrical radiographs were compared. Results: Out of the total sample of 1000 radiographs analyzed, the predominant age group was 34-41 years, constituting 301 radiographs (30.1%). Additionally, ...
