POSITION FEATURES AND ROLE OF THE DENTES CANINI IN FORMATION OF DISTAL OCCLUSION
The article deals with the topography of canini at distal occlusion, the influence on the development of canini dentition abnormalities in the sagittal plane, the relationship of the canini with other structures of the facial skeleton at distal occlusion. The role of canini at distal occlusion is determined on the basis of revealed correlations between the features of their position, also due to determination of the classifying rules. Values of biometric structure of dentition at distal occlusion regarding the position of the canini allowed to reveal certain deviations from orthognathic bite. The paper describes how the development of dentofacial anomalies in the sagittal plane, specifically at distal occlusion, changing position of canini and how the behavior of other structures of the facial skeleton. The results of this study: the canini are the starting point for the diagnosis of abnormalities dentition. The search for specific patterns in the position of individual teeth can provide a starting point for a more accurate diagnosis of abnormalities, including in matters of its pathogenesis, and this in turn will provide the right tactics in the preparation and selection of the treatment plan.
