The purpose of the study was to determine the frequency of vertical asymmetry of the mandibular condyle based on the Habets technique in digital panoramic radiographs of patients who visited the Vilcor dental imaging center in Lima, Peru. The approach was quantitative, basic, and observational, with 150 panoramic radiographs evaluated. The technique used was observation, and a data collection form validated by expert judgment was employed. It was found that when applying the Habets asymmetry index with a 3% cut-off, there was a prevalence of condylar asymmetry in the vertical plane of 58%, followed by mandibular ramus asymmetry at 31.30%, and the least prevalent was the combined condyle and ramus asymmetry at 12%. Regarding the vertical asymmetry of the condyle and ramus, the average for the right side was 50.59 mm, and for the left side, it was 50.31 mm, leading to a low prevalence of asymmetry at 12%. By sex, there was equal prevalence of asymmetry between females and males at 6%. By age, for the condyle and ramus, the prevalence of asymmetry was 4% for those up to 29 years old, 6.6% for those between 30 and 59 years old, and 1.3% for patients over 60 years old. The conclusion is that there is a low prevalence of mandibular condyle and ramus asymmetry evaluated in digital panoramic radiographs of patients who visited the Vilcor dental imaging center in Lima, Peru.
