Abstract

Mandibular prognathia is a common pathology of the development of the dentition, related to genetic disorders. A characteristic feature of mandibular prognathia is the overlap of the upper incisors by the lower incisors. Despite the fact that distal prognathia is more common than mandibular (mesial) prognathia, the latter affects all age categories of people. The causes of this pathology can be divided into two groups: endogenous and exogenous. Clinically, this is manifested by a violation of the aesthetic appearance of the face, due to a change in its configuration, the appearance of pronounced nasolabial folds. The purpose – of the study was to assess the teleradiological parameters of facial tissues in patients after orthodontic treatment for mandibular prognathia. Materials and methods. The collection and analysis of clinical material was carried out on the basis of the Samara City Clinical Dental Clinic No. 1, Samara, in the period from 2018 to 2022. The study involved 88 patients with removable and permanent dentition. When detecting mandibular prognathia, clinical functional tests proposed by Ilyina-Markosyan were used. Conclusion. Analysis of the results of the treatment of patients suffering from mandibular prognathia demonstrated a stable improvement in the clinical picture, which is confirmed by the results of teleroentgenography.
