title: [Epidemiological aspects of mandibular asymmetry in the developmental period].
abstract: The prevalence of mandibular asymmetry in developmental age has been evaluated by a clinical and photographic survey. The signs of dysfunction increased with age from 14 to 34.5%. The heterogeneous predisposing or concurrent factors are discussed, with special attention for postural and breathing problems.
