Underdevelopment of the upper jaw (upper micrognathia, opistognathia): causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Underdevelopment of the upper jaw (upper micrognathia, opistognathia) is a type of deformation that is relatively rare and it is very difficult to treat it with a surgical method.

Defects of the lower jaw: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Depending on the etiology, all defects of the lower jaw are divided into two main groups: gunshot and non-fire. The first group of defects is characteristic mainly for wartime.

Macrogeny

Macrogenia is one of the most severe deformities of the face, ranging from 1.5 to 4.28% of all malocclusion anomalies.

Underdevelopment of the lower jaw (microgenia, retrognathia): causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Congenital absence of the mandible or its separate fragments, as well as the "double" jaw, are extremely rare in practice. Usually the surgeon is faced with either underdevelopment, or excessive development of the lower jaw, ie, with microgenia or prognosis.

Anomalies and deformations of the jaws

The size and shape of the jaws can vary greatly according to the individual size and shape of the entire face.

Paralysis of facial muscles

Symptoms of paralysis of facial muscles are diverse due to the varying degrees of conduction disorders in the branches of the facial nerve. The more branches involved in the pathological process, the more severe the clinical picture.

Defects and deformities of the nose: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Acquired defects and deformities of the nose can occur as a result of trauma, inflammatory diseases (furunculosis, lupus) and removal of tumors.

Cheek defects: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

The etiological factors of cheek defects may be: accidental trauma, an inflammatory process (eg, nome), or surgical intervention.

Nasal septum sagging: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

The sagging of the nasal septum is usually due to the excessiveness of its cutaneous part. As a result, the nostrils are wide open and through them the anterior part of the nasal septum mucosa is visible.

Wide tip of the nose: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

The wide tip of the nose is a deformation that can be caused by an increase in the angle between the medial and lateral legs of the large cartilages of the nose wings or the arc radius formed by the transition of the lateral legs into the medial ones.
