Abstract Retrospective analysis was conducted in 78 patients of various age, who suffered the inborn lip and palate fissura, for estimation of the patients quality of life after uranostaphiloplasty. The operations were performed on clinical base of The Oral Cavity Surgery and The Jaw-Facial Surgery Cathedra in Department of The Jaw-Facial Surgery of Clinical Medical Center (Baku). There was established, that application of uranostaphiloplasty procedure, as well as timely initiated rehabilitation, influences a further establishment of the patient personality. A timely refer to a speech therapeutist and the treatment began also have great significance for further establishment of the patient personality. Disorders of speech, incorrect bite hampers obtaining of education, working, interferes with a family creation, hampers the employment and worsens a quality of life.

Introduction: during the period of child growth airways and facial skeleton are developing in close relationship. Patients with upper dental arch narrowing and high gothic palet, tend to have narrowed nasal passages and are more vulnerable to violations of breathing during sleep - so-called obstructive sleep apnea (OSA, Obstructive Sleep Apnea), the occurrence of which is explained by a decrease of anteroposterior sizes of throat. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of orthodontic treatment in the period of mixed dentition on the state of the upper respiratory tract., Materials and Methods: there were examined 64 children (7-12 years) with class I malocclusion. Clinical examination was carried out according to the protocols of providing orthodontic care with assessment of the functional state of the maxillofacial region. Orthodontic correction had been carried with apparatus of Biobloc system. Before treatment and after its completion there had been performed morphometric analysis of dentition and assess patency of the upper airway by McNamara method., Results: prior to the beginning of orthodontic treatment in all patients had been found a significant decrease of upper and lower pharyngeal spaces 5.95±0.75mm, 8.1 8.}0.74 mm respectively (normal - 15-20mm and 11-14mm). After orthodontic treatment with Biobloc system the upper pharyngeal space increased in 2.5 times (P<0,01), lower pharyngeal space increased in 1.6 (p<0,01) times, and in average amounted to 13,3 ± 0,86 mm., Conclusions: thus found that after orthodontic treatment with Biobloc apparatus along with the expansion of the alveolar arches of both jaws there is a significant positive effect of increasing the volume of the upper respiratory tract. Consequently, orthodontic treatment in the period of mixed dentition, stimulates the growth not only of the dental arches, but also greatly improves the development nazomaxillary complex and prevents apnea syndrome, that increases the level patient's health and life quality.

A total of 117 patients with European appearance, orthognatic bite and without noticeable signs of face asymmetry were examined. A modified analysis method was used for anterior-posterior teleroentgenograms (TRG). According to the TRG data, the tables with average meanings of cephalometric signs were made up.

Thirty patients with sagittal, vertical, and transverse abnormalities of occlusion combined with abnormal position of the frontal teeth and improper shape and size of dentition were examined. The position of maxillary canines was evaluated by the method suggested by L. Garner (1974) determining the relationship between the location of frontal teeth and position of soft facial tissues.

Periodontal tissues were examined in 29 healthy children and in 91 children with gingival recession aged 6-14 years. The routine indices were higher in patients with gingival recession associated with chronic catarrhal gingivitis and maxillodental abnormalities than in those with only one oral disease.

The height of permanent teeth crowns was measured and the status of supporting tissue studied with the use of a Periotest apparatus (Siemens, Germany) in 95 children aged 7-12 with physiologic dental occlusion and in 70 age-matched children without dental occlusion in the frontal section. The data obtained by this apparatus permit a judgement on exercise tolerance of periodontal tissue. The size of the vertical fissure between maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth was measured in the children with abnormal occlusion and analysis of correlations and regressions of this parameter with the height of permanent teeth crown was carried out. The findings evidence that dental supporting tissue strength changes with age, as the maxillodental system develops, and that this characteristic is rather low in the children with non-occluding frontal teeth.
