Abstract:
115 respondents aged 7-11 with occlusive pathology were examined anthropometrically and biometrically. The sizes of the craniofacial complex were studied using the parameters of the width and diagonal of the face. The jaw indices of the face were calculated. The mesio-distal, vestibulo-oral and vertical dimensions of the crowns of primary and permanent teeth were measured. The widths and lengths of dental arches during the period of tooth change were determined by the method of Pont and Korkhaus. Diagnosed mesognathic, dolichognathic and brachygnathic face types with normodont, macrodont and microdontic variants of dental arches. Regardless of the type of dental arches, the ratio of the width of the upper dental arch in the molar region to the similar parameters of the lower one was determined and is 1.02±0.05. The results of the study of the length of the anterior part of the dental arches also indicate that the odontometric indicators are commensurate with each other and this correlation is equal to 1.23±0.05. The correlation of the value of the sum of 14 upper teeth to the sum of 14 lower teeth is 1.15±0.05. The data obtained are used to predict the results of orthodontic treatment.

The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...
