Teleroentgenometric parameters of the soft palate in young men and young women with an orthognathic bite without and taking into account the type of face

Abstract

The study of the features of the upper respiratory tract and the relationship of their parameters with other anatomical formations and structures of the human body is one of the promising areas of modern science. Since numerous anatomical components are involved in the functioning of the respiratory tract, their detailed study should be carried out separately. One of these components that is of direct interest to science and practice is the soft palate. The purpose of the study is to establish the peculiarities of the teleroentgenometric parameters of the soft palate in Ukrainian young men and young women without pathology of the upper respiratory tract with an orthognathic bite without and taking into account the type of face. Determination of teleroentgenometric parameters of the soft palate was carried out in 72 young women and 46 young men with no pathology of the upper respiratory tract with an orthognathic bite (primary lateral teleroentgenograms were taken from the database of the research center and the Department of Pediatric Dentistry of the National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya).
