Dento-maxillary anomalies among children with nasal septum deformations

Abstract

Authors argue that about in ≈89% of cases nasal septum deviation (DNS) combines with the dento-maxillary anomaly (DMA) and vice versa. The paper concludes that DNS conduces to DMA. According to investigators DNSs have complications such as, maxilla narrowing and close position of frontal teeth (43.8%), upper prognathism with maxilla narrowing and close position of frontal teeth (16.5%), upper retrognathism (12.9%) and open bite (3.6%). Orthodontists and physicians of other specialties can confidently suppose availability of NSC in patients and send the patients to the otorhinolaryngologist. Integrated work of otolaryngologist and orthodontist will provide normal growth of the median zone of the facial skeleton, including rhinomaxillary complex with the subsequent harmonious formation of all anatomic structures.
