ABSTRACT
The problems of diagnosis and therapy of patients with various deformities of the facial skeleton are widely covered. The aim of the research is to characterize the morphometric parameters of the maxillofacial region in patients with gnatic forms of occlusion abnormalities (GFOA). Methods: The data from the archives of the 38 patients (ethnic Uzbeks) with the gnathic forms of occlusion anomalies, who have a treatment at the Clinic of Tashkent State Dental Institute, was analyzed. In addition, the criteria of normal range for the ethnic Uzbeks were determined by the cephalometric evaluation during the treatment of the patients with the dent maxillofacial anomalisms. Results: The data obtained served as the basis for the judgment about the deviations of the norm in the facial skeleton and, in particular, in its gnatic Department among ethnic Uzbeks. These parameters will be the norm criteria in cephalometric studies in the treatment of patients with dentoalveolar anomalies, in particular patients with GFAO, which ultimately facilitates the clinical diagnosis, the preparation of a rational plan of orthodontic, surgical treatment and evaluation of their immediate and long-term results. Conclusion: Thus, the data obtained by us confirm the idea that cephalometric analyses are often based on comparison of the data obtained as a result of examination of a particular patient (group of patients) with the average values in this population.
