Convent-analysis of the problem of studying the individual anatomical variability of the top and the lower jaws depending on the structure of the brain skull

Abstract

It is established that with the development of modern orthodontics, maxillofacial surgery and orthopedics, new data are needed regarding the shape, size, position and relationships of the upper and lower jaw, the features of the structure and development of the maxillofacial device in childhood and adolescence. Based on the conducted convention analysis of available literary sources in recent years on dentistry and morphology, it becomes evident the need for further comprehensive study of the structure of the maxillofacial region, from the position of the theory of V. N. Shevkunenko about individual anatomical variability, taking into account age, gender, shape of the head. There is also a need to develop new techniques and tools for the determination of accurate cranio- and morphometric data to substantiate and develop rational diagnostic and surgical methods for treating people with maxillofacial pathology.
