Sažetak

Various investigations have shows that the number of articulatory impairments is greater in a population with orthodontic anomalies than in eugnathic subjects. The relationship between anatomic structures in the orofacial region and articulatory compensatory mechanisms in persons with orthodontic anomalies is interesing from the theoretical and practical point of view. In the present investigation on a sample of 282 high school adolescents (203 - 72% male and 79 - 28% female) aged from 15 to 18 years the relationship between orthodontic and articulatory impairments was investigated. Assessment of the orthodontic and articulatory status, judged two specialists in the fields, showed the following percentages of orthodontic anomalies : primary compression -43,6%, open bite - 11,0%, closed bite -8,5%, progenia complex -5,7%, cross bite 3,5%, diastema media - 0,0%, short frenulum linguae - 41,5%, gothic palate -25,2% and tthe following percentages of ariculatory impairments: sigmatism - 64,9%, rhotacism - 36,5% and lambdacism - 39,9%. 78% of the subjects had orthodontic anomalies and 72% had articulatory impairments while 52% had combined orthodontic and articulatory impairments and only 9% were eugnathic subjects with normal articulatory status. It was also show that all three categories of articulatory impairments are mostly combined with primary compression (approximately 30%) accompanied by short frenulum linguae (approximately 30%) and gothic palate (approximately 15 to 20%). It is also obvious that there are 19% of subjetcts with orthodontic anomalies who have normal articulatory status, meaning that they developed efficient compensatory mechanisms in articulation and also that there are 13% of eugnathic subjects who have articulatory imapirments, consequently, caused by some other reasons and not by the orthodontic status. Although there is a strong connection between orthodontica and articulatory characteristics it can be concluded that the relationship between them is not straight forward and that other psycholinguistic, developmental, neurogenic and other parameters should be taken into consideration in further explication of that relationship.
