COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE DENTITION AND TONGUE MORPHOMETRICAL PARAMETERS OF THE PATIENTS WITH CLASS I AND CLASS III MALOCCLUSION
Macroglossia is one of the etiological agents of the Class III malocclusion development. There have been illustrated statistically significant differences of the dentition and the tongue morphometrical parameters of 8 patients with Class III and 12 patients with Class I malocclusion. This kind of the tongue size diagnosis could be used by the orthodontist for selecting the most effective method of the orthodontic treatment of the patients with relative macroglossia.
