MODERN METHODS FOR ASSESSING THE STATE OF THE PARODONT

Abstract

In recent years, a significant number of works have appeared devoted to the study of the ratios of head sizes with somatotypes and proportions of the human body (G.G. Manashev, 2002; I.V. Firsova, 2003; J.H.Gardineretall, 1998; A. Mirzenetall, 2003, etc.) [Shcherbakova L.V. (2005)]. However, as T.V. Matytsina (2005) points out, anthropometric studies of recent years have shown that the physical status of modern man has undergone certain changes compared to that presented in the works of the mid-20th century. The issue also remains poorly studied, T.V. believes. Matytsina, on the influence of regional peculiarities on the nature of human physical development, age periodization, adopted back in 1965, is not specified, the problems of sexual differences in the physical status of a person, the influence of a complex of internal and external factors on a person, changes in typology, and so on are little touched upon. And further notes that these problems are important in determining the social status of a modern person, his physical capabilities, in assessing his health, in which the component of ecological well-being has not been present since the 70s of the XX century. One of the main conclusions that T.V. Matytsina makes is that in the works devoted to physical development, more attention is paid to the somatotype and much less to the head. Most of the major studies and works are devoted to the skull, about (Martin R., 1928, Speransky B.C., 1988, Zaichenko A.A., 2000 and others) [Matytsinat.V. (2005)].
