Короткий опис (реферат):
The epidemiological situation regarding the most common pathologies of the dental-jaw system, namely orthodontic pathologies (occlusion, size and position of teeth, their absence, etc.) is still tense –their prevalence is increasing, as evidenced by dental examinations of children in different coun-tries. Thus, in the Kozhikode region (India) the prevalence of malocclusion among persons aged 10-12 years was 83.3%, of which 69.8% had an occlusion of class I, 8.9% – class II, 4.1% – class III, 0.4% – reverse bite, 35.6% – increased bite, 0.29% – open bite, 7.2% – cross bite [1].For adequate prognosis and planning of odon-tological treatment, doctors have been using the cephalometric method of lateral teleradiography for many years, which has also proven itself in other fields of medicine [2].However, data from domestic works indicate that for adequate application of any of the cepha-lometric methods of analysis, it is necessary to pre-adapt the data on a particular method for the local population, taking into account gender, age, re-gional affiliation [3, 4] and face type. [5].The aim of the study was to establish the fea-tures and sex differences of cephalometric parame-ters according to the Steiner method in Ukrainian young men and young women with orthognathic occlusion and different face types.
