Abstract:
Recently, there has been a tendency for the growth of dentognathic deformities of various origins, accompanied by phonetic abnormalities. Aim - to increase the effectiveness of orthodontic treatment of dentognathic deformities, accompanied by phonetic disorders, by developing and justifying a set of diagnostic and therapeutic measures based on a multidisciplinary approach. The influence of the state of ENT organs on the formation of dentognathic deformities and phonetic disturbances is studied in 155 children. A clinical dental examination and orthodontic treatment is performed in 82 patients aged 6-12 years. Individual corrective speech therapy work has been carried out to overcome the defects of the phonological side of speech. A certain pathological "chain" of cause-effect relationships of dentognathic deformities with phonetic disorders and diseases of the ENT organs became the basis for a multidisciplinary approach to solving the problems identified. The qualitative and quantitative dependence of sound deterioration on the type of orthognathic deformities is established. A complex of diagnostic and therapeutic measures for patients with dental deformities accompanied by phonetic disorders, consisting of motivational, diagnostic and therapeutic blocks, has been developed and introduced into practice. The proposed complex of diagnostic and treatment measures made it possible to increase the efficiency of orthodontic treatment of children with dentognathic deformities with disturbances of sound pronunciation depending on the type of bite by means of a multidisciplinary approach involving an otolaryngologist, speech therapist, children's therapist and surgeon, which was confirmed in 86.6% of patients by the improvement of electromyography, anthropometric measurements of scanned models of jaws, cephalometry; the analysis of cone-beam computed tomography data showed a significant increase in the upper respiratory tract volume by 53.8±4.2%.
