Aim The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of the Levandoski Panoramic Analysis in the diagnosis of dental and mandibular asymmetries and I its contribution to clinical patient%26apos;s evaluation and treatment planning. %26lt;br%26gt;Methods Thirty-one randomly selected panoramic I radiographs of children from 7 to 14 year old were analysed using 10 linear measurements. Right and left values were compared with Student%26apos;s paired T tests. I For each value, mean and standard deviation were computed separately for each side. %26lt;br%26gt;Results/Statistics A dominance for the left side over the right side was observed. The data obtained were not statistically significant with the exception of maxillary length: the right side length of the maxilla was shorter (p%26lt;0.05) compared to the left side. %26lt;br%26gt;Conclusions Levandosky Panoramic Analisys represents a useful screening method in the diagnosis of dental and mandibular asymmetries.
