MORPHOLOGICAL AND FUNCTIONAL FEATURES OF DENTAL STRUCTURES OF PERSONS WITH OVERBITE
Complex morphological and electromyographic study of masseter and sternocleidomastoid muscles in 178 patients with overbite is conducted. The deteriorating of hygienic status (OHI-S=2,41) among persons with deep bite compared with neutral occlusion is noted. The increase of static (1968,32 mcV) and dynamic (1760,78 mcV) potentials of the masticatory muscles in this occlusion anomalies in comparison with the norm (1681,45 and 1354,23 mcV) were determined. The authors revealed positive (r=+0,956) and reverse (r=-0,833) strong correlations between morphological and functional parameters of the dental system in pathology.
