Abstract.
Anthropometric studies are included in the complex of mandatory diagnostic procedures conducted during the examination of patients with dentoalveolar and facial anomalies. Comprehensive analysis of the dentoalveolar system including the evaluation of dentition plaster models as an essential part of assessment is required during orthodontic diagnosing and subsequent treatment planning.
The aim of the study was the substantiation of anthropometric investigation methods choice in patients with permanent occlusion.
The results of anthropometric diagnostic methods study in patients with permanent occlusion are presented in this article.
The relevance of the H. Nance’s method was determined in 43,8% of cases that is insufficient to be recommended for the application to practice for the total dentition length measuring and diagnosis of the presence or lack of space for teeth in the dental arch during the permanent dentition period.
The A. Lundstrom’s method usage is reasonable for practical application in order to conduct both the detailed segmentation analysis of the dentition and the evaluation of the presence or lack of space for teeth in the dental arch during the permanent dentition period. This method confirmed its relevance in 90,1% of patients with neutral occlusion and can be recommended as an alternative to the H. Nance’s method.
The G. Korkhaus technique informativeness was confirmed in 89,1% of patients. It is advisable to use the confidence intervals of G. Korkhaus indices in the V. A. Shcherbakov’s modification for the analysis and evaluation of measurement results. The analysis of horizontal dental arch parameters measured by the A. Pont’s method has shown that the values of anthropometric standards of the dentition width depending on the sum of mesiodistal sizes of four upper incisors, designed by H. Linder and G. Harth, are irrelevant (they were confirmed in 57,8% of cases) for their usage in evaluating the dental arch width.
Key words: anthropometric methods, permanent occlusion, diagnostic models study.
