Interdisciplinary approach to diagnostics of malocclusions (review)

Abstract

The main task of modern orthodontics is to create a balanced, morphologically stable occlusion in harmony with facial aesthetics and functional adaptation. The aim of the study is to investigate the relationship between dento-facial anomalies and somatic pathology. Materials and methods: A literary study was conducted using the Medline database and the Google Scholar database. Review: The human body is a biological system consisting of interconnected and subordinate elements. Any abnormalities in the operation of this system may lead to functional impairment in a single organ. This is fully applicable to dento-facial anomalies and deformations; their development is closely related to other diseases. Conclusions: The diagnostics, treatment tactics and prevention of dento-facial anomalies and deformations should be considered in the context of the integrity of the child’s unformed organism, the interdependence of the form and functions of its organs and systems.
