Abstract

The article is devoted to the relationship between the language and the surrounding structures of the maxillary region in children. The main anatomical structures are described with the most common malformation – cleft lip and/or palate. Based on the studies conducted in the Krasnodar Territory, an analysis of the timing and methods of detecting this malformation, the main parameters and location of the tongue with it, the act of swallowing in full-term and premature infants is described in detail. The stages of complex treatment of children with cleft lip and/or palate, as well as with the most common occlusion disorders are given. Methods of measuring the length of the tongue frenulum, as well as the pressure force of the tongue muscles in various parts of the oral cavity are discussed. The authors consider it necessary to create the new device with intraoral sensors that measure the amount of pressure of the muscles of the tongue on the surrounding tissues (the main points of the sensors are proposed) for the timely detection and elimination of pathological influence of the tongue on the adjacent formations of the maxillary region. Key words: anatomical and functional features, intraoral sensors, children, dental area, complex step-by-step treatment, cleft lip and/or palate, prevention, tongue
