TREATMENT OF SAGITAL ANOMALIES IN A MIXED DENTITION IN CHILDREN WITH SPEECH DISORDERS.

The purpose of the study was to prove the effectiveness of the proposed method of treatment children with sagittal dental anomalies and speech disorders in the mixed dentition. Over the course of 2 years, we treated 59 children from 6 to 8 years of age with sagittal dental anomalies combined with organic dyslalia. Children who were treated according to the proposed procedure were included in 1 subgroup, and up to 2 subgroups included patients who were treated according to the conventional procedure. The control group included 12 children with physiological bites of the same age without speach impairment. The proposed method allowed to shorten the time of treatment of patients: the treatment time was up to 6 months - 10.4%, 6 to 12 months - 79.3%, 12-18 months - 10.3%, when using the standard technique, 76.7% of patients used orthodontic equipment for up to 18 months. Immediately after the end of treatment, the electromyographic indexes were normalized and the occlusion ratios were restored. Similar indicators in the persons treated by the standard method, although they showed positive dynamics, but differed from the indicators of the persons treated according to the proposed method, and from those of the control group and amounted to 78.8% (р ≤ 0.05). After 12 months of treatment, the application of the proposed method normalization of indicators of palatograms occurred in 89.4% of persons; in the subgroups treated by the standard method, the same indicators were 72.5% (р≤0.05).
