Abstract

The results of the observation of 57 children (2-16 years) show that mandibular deficiency strongly influences the reduced growth of the stomatognatic complex and causes deformation of facial skeleton. A change in the dento-alveolar complex characterizes the change in the position of the individual tooth, form of the maxillary and mandibular arches, malocclusion in saggital, transverse and horizontal planes. Such structural deformities are strong psycho-traumatic factors that promote in patients with mandibular micrognatism a condition comparable to chronic stress.
