Eighteen mandibular dimensions (mm) in sex-determined, 10th-12th-century European skulls from burial sites in South-Eastern Hungary were examined to discover whether differences exist between the right and left sides. There was a statistically significant difference in only one dimension, the smallest sagittal diameter of the mandibular neck, in both males and females. The frequencies with which the various 18 dimensions were identical between right and left sides ranged from 39.9% to 82.0% in males, and from 45.9% to 83.2% in females. The examined individual dimensions appeared to be smaller on the right side in 7.0% to 33.7% (mean 19.1%) of the male cases, and in 7.1% to 29.9% (mean 17.9%) of the females, while the right side was larger in 7.7% to 50.9% (mean 22.3%) of the males and in 7.9% to 54.3% (mean 22.5%) of the females. In conclusion, asymmetry of the left and right sides was found between the measured individual mandibular dimensions on average in 41.4% of the males and 40.4% of the females.
对来自匈牙利东南部墓葬遗址的10至12世纪已确定性别的欧洲头骨的18个下颌尺寸（毫米）进行了检查，以发现左右两侧之间是否存在差异。在男性和女性中，只有一个尺寸存在统计学上的显著差异，即下颌颈的最小矢状径。男性左右两侧18个不同尺寸相同的频率范围为39.9%至82.0%，女性为45.9%至83.2%。在7.0%至33.7%（平均19.1%）的男性病例和7.1%至29.9%（平均17.9%）的女性病例中，所检查的各个尺寸在右侧似乎较小，而在7.7%至50.9%（平均22.3%）的男性和7.9%至54.3%（平均22.5%）的女性中，右侧较大。总之，平均而言，在41.4%的男性和40.4%的女性中，所测量的各个下颌尺寸在左右两侧之间存在不对称。
