Visual-esthetic and anatomical-morphological features of teeth and soft tissues of the orofacial region, determined by ethnic group identity
Abstract
The aim of the study is to establish ethnic differences in odontometric parameters of teeth in permanent dentition and anatomical features in the complex mutual arrangement of tissues of the orofacial region as a morphological basis for a natural-aesthetic type of smile in children.
Object and methods. In 432 adolescents of Russian and Finno-Ugric ethnic groups aged 14 years old, the parameters of teeth were measured, the standard of natural color of groups of teeth was assessed, and the soft tissues of the orofacial region involved in the formation of a natural smile were described. The digital material was processed statistically.
Results. Differences in odontometric data of permanent teeth in adolescents of different ethnic groups were revealed, expressed in odontological parameters, VITA Vitapan classical A-D color standards, their degree of transparency; features of the cutting edge; complex mutual arrangement of surrounding soft tissues of the lower third of the face, forming a natural smile in adolescents of the Russian and Finno-Ugric groups.
Conclusions. The identified ethnic features must be taken into account in order to ensure the quality of dental restorative work, and to identify the ethnicity of the individual.
