CHANGES IN CRANIOFACIAL PARAMETERS DUE TO DISTAL MOVEMENT OF PERMANENT MAXILLARY MOLARS IN PATIENTS WITH DISTAL OCCLUSION AND VERTICAL JAW GROWTH DIRECTION

Abstract:

The study is devoted to the research of changes in the parameters of the facial part of the skull due to the distal displacement of the permanent molars of the upper jaw in patients with a distal bite, with a vertical direction of jaw growth. To determine the peculiarities of the morphological structure of the facial skull, 98 teleradiographs of the head were used, performed in lateral projection. To determine the features of the structure of the facial skull in patients with distal occlusion, 15 angular and 9 linear parameters were studied. The distalization of permanent maxillary molars in patients with distal occlusion and vertical jaw growth direction leads to significant changes in craniofacial parameters. The study found an increase in anterior facial height and alterations in the angular measurements of the facial skeleton, which are indicative of clockwise rotation of the mandibular plane and counterclockwise rotation of the occlusal plane.
