Perfection of algorithms for visualization of the structures of the maxial-facial region when using modern radio diagnostics methods (Part I)
This item reveals the analysis outcomes for craniometric and morphometric parameters of the temporomandibular joints and incisal dentofacial segments obtained through studying 119 computer tomograms and lateral skull teleradiographies from people with physiological occlusion of permanent teeth in the first mature age period. Detailed investigation of the spatial arrangement of the craniofacial structures allowed developing, substantiating and testing a method of computer tomograms combination of the mandibular joint and dentofacial segments of the mandibular and maxillary medial incisors with head teleradiographies in the lateral projection. This algorithm al-lowed increasing the measurements reliability (linear, angular) in the sagittal plane, identifying the degree of complexity and justifying the choice of tactics for the planned treatment, describing the facial skull growth type (horizontal, vertical and neutral), as well as evaluating the effectiveness of orthodontic treatment at all stages.
