STRUCTURING OF DENTOGNATHIC ANOMALIES AND DEFORMATIONS IN CHILDREN WITH CONGENITAL UNILATERAL CLEFT LIP AND PALATE

Abstract

The article presents the results of research on the structure of dentognathic anomalies and deformations in children with congenital unilateral cleft lip and palate. For this purpose, 137 patients aged 5 to 14 years were examined. During analysis of the data, several components of the dentognathic anomalies and deformations symptom complex were established simultaneously in all the study subjects. Deformations in the transversal and sagittal planes and combined pathologies in the sagittal and transversal planes were prioritized. Five components of the symptom complex were identified, the frequency of which is statistically significantly different (p<0.05) in the groups of girl and boy patients. Deformations are divided into three groups: deformations in the transverse plane, deformations in the sagittal plane, deformations in the transverse and sagittal planes, which can be complicated by defects of the dental arch and alveolar process at the cleft site, teeth eruption in the defect area, midline shift, anomalies of shape, eruption, number and position of teeth. The structuring allows to determine the scope of preventive measures, improve the organization of the provision of specialized staged multidisciplinary care, contributes to the development and implementation of new methods of diagnosis and treatment based on dynamic individualized influence.
