DIAGNOSTIC METHODS IN CHILDREN WITH FALSE MESIAL OCCLUSION

In the last decade, mesial occlusion has been studied in many countries through the use of modern diagnostic technologies for the timely treatment of this anomaly. The basis for diagnosis is an X-ray cephalometric examination of the facial skeleton, which allows us to identify the leading pathogenetic mechanisms and conduct differential diagnosis of combined forms of anomaly, which cannot be carried out on the basis of clinical data alone (N.G.Abolmasov, 1982; E.N.Zhulev, 1986, etc.).
