[Distribution of praevalent morphological symptoms of the oral complex in 600 Jena school children in dependence of age and sex (author's transl)].
In this study praevalence and stage of some selected symptoms within the orofacial complex were investigated in 600 normal children living in Jena (300 boys and 300 girls). The first problem of this study consisted in registering the biological variability of 6 symptoms (bit abnormality, protrusion of the lower lip, diastema, palatal height, size of the tongue, fissured tongue) in a normal group, and secondly to find correlations between these symptoms. The results are listed for the age groups according to sex. The supposed causes that may lead to the development of these symptoms are discussed. Our results were compared with those of the literature. Difficulties and incompletion are involved in recording of the mentioned symptoms and their value of diagnosis.
