Peculiarities of the sources of origin and morphogenesis of the human mandible

Abstract

Learning the sources, terms, chronological sequence of morphological transformations, finding critical periods and developmental peculiarities of the anatomical structure of the stomatognathic system during the prenatal period of human ontogenesis are relevant areas of morphological studies promoting solution of an important medical-social issue – improvement of the methods of prevention, early diagnostics and effective surgical correction of congenital defects and treatment of the acquired diseases of the human mandible. Morphological description of the maxillofacial structures and peculiarities of development of the mandible in particular, does not keep pace with up-to-date requirements of practical medicine.
