The facial asymmetry may be one of the elements that promote in a positive or negative way the perception of the esthetic one. The aim of this study was to determine the perception of the facial asymmetry through the evaluation of 7 photographs by patients, dentists, and dentistry students using visual analog scale (VAS). In this way, it has been determined the asymmetry level of the patients in mild, moderated or severe asymmetry trough Ricketts analysis. These photographs were shown to 3 groups of people (n=22): dental students, dentists and patients, who evaluated them using VAS scale rated from 1 to 10 (from less to most attractive). There were no statistically significant results among the perception of dentists, dental students and patients. Despite of the different levels of knowledge in dentistry, the aesthetic perception of mild, moderate or severe facial asymmetry is apparently equal.
