Abstract Remarks on Correlations and Implications of the Mandibular Structure and Diet in Some Seals (Mammalia, Phocidae). Koretsky, I. A., Rahmat, S. J., Peters, N. — The diverse representatives of Recent seals within the three extant subfamilies (Cystophorinae, Phocinae, Monachinae) of the family Phocidae exhibit dietary variations among species, feeding on invertebrates and a diversity of prey depending on the season and availability. To explain this variability, an introductory morphological examination of the mandibular structure of Recent seals from each subfamily was performed, focusing on: heights of the mandibular ramus and condyloid process; measurements of the masseteric fossa; and attachments of muscles of mastication. After measuring the condyloid angles (the inclination of the condyloid process in relation to the axis of the alveolar row) among the examined species, a correlation between the size ofthe angle, function, and diet was recognized. Seals with a tall mandibular ramus and greater condyloid angle (Cystophorinae) feed on larger-sized prey, while seals with a shorter ramus and lesser condyloid angle feed on small (Monachinae) to medium-sized (Phocinae) prey, regardless of the overall size of the seal. This study focused on the mandibular morphology of some living and fossil representatives of Phocidae, providing an association between functional and ecological interpretations of modern seals in general and extrapolating this knowledge for fossil dietary preference.

Osteoarthritis is the commonest form of arthritis, detectable radiographically in 80% of patients over the age of 55 and accounting for more dependency in walking and stair-climbing than any other disease. In clinical practice it is defined by the presence of joint symptoms (pain, aching, stiffness) plus evidence of structural change (including crepitus on active joint motion, bony enlargement, radiographic changes of joint space narrowing or osteophytes)....

Mesiocclusion associated with asymmetric mandibular development is a gnathic form of mesiocclusion characterized by asymmetric deformation of the facial skeleton, requiring detailed examination to perform differential diagnostics. We need to analyze lateral teleroentgenogram of the head using «SimplyCeph» software, frontal teleroentgenogram of the head, multidetector computed tomography. According to scientific data, asymmetric mandibular development is much rarer in clinical practice. Etiology of this abnormality is not determined to date. It is believed that growth zones are activated in condyloid process and mandibular angle for unknown reasons. Aim - to determine the morphological condition of stomatognathic system on the stages of rehabilitation after complex treatment of patients with asymmetric growth of mandible. Materials and methods. We examined 40 patients with malocclusion class III aged from 16 to 40. The examined group included patients with malocclusion class III that corresponded to the certain degree of severity of the abnormality: Grade I - joining of the first permanent molars and canines for Class II Angle, displacement value does not exceed 1/2 of the first permanent molar cusp. Sagittal overjet is absent; the value of anterior crossbite is minimal, moderate or deep. Results. During the stages of rehabilitation of patients with malocclusion class III and asymmetry of the mandible it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive study of facial and gnathic areas of dental system, analyze the results of radiodiagnosis of sagittal, transversal and vertical skull parameters. Conclusion. Method of subcondylar vertical osteotomy helps to normalize the morphological state of dental system. Keywords: malocclusion class III, computer program «SimplyCeph», analysis of lateral teleroentgenogram.

According to Russian researchers, the prevalence of temporomandibular joint dysfunction ranks third in the structure of dental morbidity among adults. In recent decades, the attention of clinicians to the problem of TMD has been growing rapidly due to the difficulties in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with malocclusion, complicated by joint pathology. The purpose of this article is to search for new knowledge that will improve quality of diagnosis of dysfunctional changes in the TMJ of patients with various malocclusion pathologies by identifying correlations between anatomical and morphological features of the joint and dentoalveolar anomalies. Understanding the trends in the development of characteristic morphofunctional disorders will make it easier for doctors to plan treatment for orthodontic patients and increase its effectiveness. Such patients require special attention from orthodontists. When writing this article, we have studied a lot of modern literature, as well as studies of foreign and Russian scientists who is involved in the treatment of dysfunction. However, we have not found the information that would show a direct relationship between anatomical and morphological features and malocclusion pathology, which was the purpose of our work. The article describes in detail the morphological and functional changes that occur at different stages TMD, the relationship between the shape of the glenoid fossa morphology process, included classification of the forms condyloid process described features of the development of bone structures of the TMJ depending on the type of pathological occlusion. Revealed statistics demonstrate the dependence of the frequency of dysfunction on the shape of the articular head and fossa. The analysis of computer tomograms of patients of the Department of Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics of the First Sechenov Moscow State Medical University allows us to conclude that the oval shape of the TMJ head and the rounded shape of the articular surface of the temporal bone can become a prerequisite for the development of dysfunctional changes. The results of our study will help orthodontists improve the quality of diagnostic measures and the effectiveness of treatment of patients with suspected TMD.
