Abstract:
Aesthetics is one of the key elements that accompanies modern medicine, in particular,
dentistry. The need for treatment not only eliminates the symptoms of the disease but
also leads to the restoration or improvement of the aesthetic appearance of the person,
and especially the face, gave impetus to the development of new areas of science and
technology. An important step in the implementation of such treatments is experimental
research to identify the norm for certain categories of the population, primarily according
to sex and ethnic group. The aim of the study was to establish the characteristics of
cephalometric parameters in Ukrainian young men and young women with orthognathic
occlusion, which usually do not change during surgical and orthodontic treatment,
depending on sex and facial types according to Garson. On the basis of the clinic
"Vinintermed" teleroentgenography was performed using a dental cone-beam tomograph
Veraviewepocs 3D Morita (Japan). Cephalometric examination of lateral
teleroentgenograms in 46 young men (aged 17 to 21 years) and 72 young women (aged
16 to 20 years) with orthognathic occlusion was done. The type of face was determined
according to the morphological index of Garson. The evaluation of parameters that
usually do not change during surgical and orthodontic treatment was performed in the
licensed package "Statistica 6.0" using non-parametric methods of evaluation of the
results. The percentile ranges of cephalometric parameters, which usually do not
change during surgical and orthodontic treatment depending on the facial types of
Ukrainian young men and young women with orthognathic occlusion has been
established. Pronounced manifestations of sexual dimorphism of cephalometric
parameters, which usually do not change during surgical and orthodontic treatment
(higher values in young men) are established only for most linear dimensions (values
of distances NS, Ar-Go, N-Se, N-CC, P-PTV and S-Ar) in representatives of different
types of faces. Both between young men and young women with different face types,
there are almost no reliable or tendencies of differences in cephalometric parameters,
which usually do not change during surgical and orthodontic treatment.
