    The objective of this study was to compare the perception of facial asymmetry among dental students from a private university in Metropolitan Lima. The methodology followed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional, prospective, and comparative design, with a sample of 160 students, consisting of 80 female students and 80 male students. The study included students who had signed the informed consent and were in their 8th and 9th semesters. The technique used was a survey on aesthetic perception of facial asymmetry, created by the author Weyder Portocarrero Reyes. It consisted of a photo of a male and female patient with a symmetrical face. Modifications were made to the photo on the chin, using the pogonion as a reference point to simulate a deviation to the right side by 0.5 mm, 1.0 mm, 1.5 mm, 2.0 mm, 2.5 mm, 3.0 mm, 6.0 mm, and 8.0 mm. Data processing was done using SPSS version 25, applying the Kolmogorov-Smirnov method (for n≥50), followed by the Kruskal-Wallis test (p=0.00). The results showed a significant difference (p<0.05) in the perception of facial asymmetry among dental students. The image with the most favorable perception was image 11 (Mean=6, SD=2.674), and the image with the most unfavorable perception was image 22 (Mean=3.69, SD=2.399).
