Abstract (English):
The purpose of the study is to analyze the symmetry-asymmetry of manual actions among students specializing in "Dentistry." Research methods: analysis and generalization of scientific works, surveys, testing the asymmetry of manual motor abilities, methods of mathematical statistics. Research results. It has been established that an overwhelming majority of dental students subjectively consider themselves right-handed. In this context, right-handed individuals perform most daily manipulations with their dominant hand, while left-handed individuals show a less pronounced preference. Actions requiring the demonstration of strength capabilities are frequently performed with both hands, regardless of which hand is dominant, and this is more evident among left-handed individuals. The greatest difference between the results of tests conducted with the dominant and non-dominant hands was observed in actions related to the expression of speed abilities, speed endurance, and strength endurance.
