Efficacy of comprehensive rehabilitation of patients with gnathic variants of distal occlusion

Comprehensive rehabilitation of patients with anomalies of the maxillofacial region is one of the urgent tasks of dentistry. The aim of the study was to develop methods of differential diagnosis and to determine the effectiveness of comprehensive rehabilitation of patients with gnathic variants of distal occlusion. Material and methods. The study included two main stages. At the first stage, a retrospective analysis of teleradiographs of 49 patients with physiological occlusion and 32 radiographs with distal occlusion was carried out. To determine the position of the jaws, nasal-supramental (sn-n-sm) was assessed. Results and discussion. The nasal-supramental angle in the comparison group was (8.95 ± 1.67)°. In distal occlusion, the angle was more than 11°. In all variants of physiological occlusion, the proportionality of the interalveolar and alveolar-dental parameters of the upper and lower jaws was determined. The gnathic forms of distal occlusion anomalies are characterized by a discrepancy in the size of the jaws and, in particular, in the dentoalveolar dimensions.
