ORTHODONTIC CARE IN COMPREHENSIVE TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH SEVERE PERIODONTAL PATHOLOGY

Abstract

Developmental anomalies of the jaws are a common pathology associated with disproportions in the development of the upper and lower jaws. To optimize the surgical stage of treatment, a new method of surgical treatment is proposed that eliminates the use of a bite template for positioning the jaws. The method involves marking skeletal landmark points: point Na, points A and B, bone marks in the area of the second molars of the upper jaw. During the operation, these points are used to position the two-jaw complex in three planes. The developed method reduces the time of the operation, ensures correct positioning of fragments of the upper and lower jaw, helps to avoid postoperative deformation of the terminal part of the nose and upper lip.
