[Principles of ontogenetic (phenotype and genotype) variability of the maxillo-dental system].

Abstract

By means of the computer a multiple regrouping of 1090 caucasians and 1035 Mongoloids at the age of 17-21 years and 98 (corpses) caucasian ++ men at the age of 17-38 years has been performed with a subsequent inter- and ++intra-grouping analysis of 27 variants of the structure of the maxillodental system separately for the lower and upper jaws. A certain regularity between enlargement of the teeth size, increasing angle of the lower jaw and decreasing size of the longitudinal and expressive dimensions of the jaws (in accordance with decreasing size of the spongy substance and its cells) has been revealed. It is accompanied with increasing caries and vice versa within all the groups studied. There are certain borders for individual variants in every group (race, sex, wide-, middle- and ++steno-osseous). The morphotypes of the maxillo-dental system revealed are constitutional. They are marker for ontogenic rates and help to explain peculiarities++ of its individual specific reactions to caries liability.
