Anthropometric Characteristics of the Face in Patients with Congenital Defects of Alveolar Process on Maxilla before Surgical Intervention

The purpose of the study was to investigate anthropometric parameters nasolabial complex in patients with different sizes congenital defect alveolar process before surgical intervention. Materials and methods. To achieve goal, a clinical assessment carried out 54 children clefts upper lip palate (aged 10 19 years). next indicators were included: length nasal wing, width bottom nostril, vertical displacement wing their ratios. divided into three subgroups, depending on size bone defect, which involved planning type intervention: 1 (n=13) – recovery without osteoplasty, 2 (n=11) osteoplasty using mandibular symphysis tissue, 3 (n=30) an autograft from tibia. Results discussion. Clefts are accompanied by numerous anatomical functional disorders maxillofacial system. Reconstruction maxilla processes cleft side is necessary stage rehabilitation patient. degree severity cases depends many factors conditions form cleft, patient's age, concomitant local general somatic pathology, as well success performed treatment. Fixation photography analysis photos important components evaluation treatment results. volume (residual) directly affects level facial asymmetry reflected changes ratios affected healthy angles base wing. Such data may be crucial points selection intervention methods use autologous transplants. obtained results consistent similar studies Ajami S., 2020, established pronounced differences structure even under full timely palate, compared ethnic norm patients. And sooner integrity restored, better symmetry achieved. Alveolar plasty significantly equalizes nose shown three-dimensional number clinics around world. Conclusion. Anthropometry (photogrammometry) face additional method diagnostic that make correct decisions during reconstructive interventions case
