Radiographic examination of the facial skeleton enables the assessment of symmetry in complex anatomical regions and facial bone structures, helping to elucidate causal relationships between asymmetry and functional disturbances that may lead to the onset and progression of pathological changes in anatomically or functionally related organs and systems. This study, aimed at determining the frequency of facial bone structure asymmetry detected by radiographic examination, was conducted using 100 panoramic radiographs of the maxillofacial region from randomly selected adult individuals. The frequency of asymmetry in various facial skeletal structures among adults of different sexes was established and compared based on radiographic data. It was found that a comprehensive analysis of the interrelation between all manifested types of asymmetry in the studied structures – along with clarification of the sequence of the observed changes – requires an in-depth investigation into the age-related remodeling patterns of the facial skeleton and tracking of individual changes over time, beginning from childhood. The data obtained confirm the findings of other researchers, significantly expanding knowledge about facial asymmetry manifestations at different life stages. These findings are clinically important, as they enhance understanding of the causes of facial asymmetry and provide a foundation for developing effective methods of preventing its progression and the development of associated secondary changes and pathological conditions.
