QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC EVALUATION OF ORAL LIQUID UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS AND IN DENTOFACIAL PATHOLOGY
The focus of the study was the general organization of crystal structures in the oral liquid in children (adolescents) aged 10-15, with optimal functional occlusion and dentofacial anomalies of varying severity. The item also offers a qualitative assessment of crystallograms as well as the respective quantitative processing of the crystallographic picture, which was done employing a specifically developed computer program. It was found that increased intensity of morphological and functional abnormalities in patients with malocclusion was accompanied with changes in quantitative (reduction of the radial area, protein-crystalline coefficient, structures formation intensity coefficient, combined with the increase of microcrystallization index) and qualitative (destructured crystals, oppression of crystallization sites, loss of stratification in the peripheral area) parameters of the oral liquid facies.
