[Correlation of x-ray cephalometric parameters of the gnathic part of the skull with dental anthropometric parameters and data of functional tests in subjects with normal occlusion]. / Korreliatsiia rentgenotsefalometricheskikh parametrov gnaticheskoí chasti cherepa s antropometricheskimi pokazateliami zubnykh riadov i dannymi funktsional'nykh issledovanii u lits s fisiologicheskoi okkliuziei.

Anthropometric, functional, and long-distance x-ray examinations of 26 subjects with normal occlusion (14 women and 12 men aged 20-27 years) were carried out in order to define the topographic and anatomical criteria for repair of maxillofacial harmony in case of lost occlusive checkpoints. Basic topographic and anatomical criteria of repair of the maxillofacial system in patients with lost occlusion checkpoints (level of position and direction of occlusion surface in the facial skull) were defined on the basis of long-distance roentgenograms of the head in the lateral projection. Individually determined occlusion surface is the key to repair of morphofunctional harmony of the maxillofacial system in patients with abnormalities complicated by decreased height of the lower segment of the face. A principally new concept of orthodontic treatment of patients with lost occlusion checkpoints by diagnostic topographic and anatomical criteria is suggested and a strategy of pathogenetic orthodontic treatment of this patient population has been developed on the basis of this concept.

[The correlation of the occlusal plane and the Frankfurt Horizontal parameters with the morphological and functional indices of the maxillofacial area in physiological dentition relationships]. / Korreliatsionnaia zavisimost' parametrov okkliuzionnoi ploskosti i frankfurtskoi gorizontali s morfologicheskimi i funktsional'nymi pokazateliami cheliustno-litsevoi oblasti pri fiziologicheskikh vzaimootnosheniiakh zubnykh riadov.

Anthropometric, functional, and teleroentgenographic examinations were carried out in 26 subjects aged 20-27 years with functional occlusion. Correlation of occlusion plane direction (OcP) with respect to the Frankfurt horizontal line (FH) and the dental, gnathic, and soft tissue parameters of the head and maxillofacial muscular functions was studied. The angle formed by the Frankfurt horizontal line and occlusion plate (FH-OcP) depends on the anthropometric angular and linear osseous parameters of the facial skull and soft tissue parameters of the face and with the functional status and coordination activity of maxillofacial muscles antagonists and synergists. It is noteworthy that the FH-OcP angle depends on the level of disposition and, which is still more important, on the direction of occlusion surface, and evaluation of individual OcP is the key to restoration of the morphofunctional harmony of the maxillofacial system during orthodontic treatment.

Computer-aided milling of ceramic insertions helped more effectively repair the masticatory surface of teeth, minimize the incidence of errors, rule out the laboratory stage of making the insertions and the technological errors made at this stage, retain physical and mechanical characteristics of ceramics, optimize marginal adherence of the insertion to the tooth, retain the height of the lower part of the face, and thus prevent the maxillodental dysfunction.
