ORAL CAVITY PATHOLOGY IN PATIENTS WITH SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS (LITERATURE REVIEW)

The bibliographic analysis is based on domestic and foreign articles and monographs published over the past 10 years.The search was carried out in the scientometric databases PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and MedLine using the keywords individual anatomical variability, external ear, and human.The analysis of the current literature shows that, to date, there is no generally accepted methodology for obtaining information on individual anatomical variability in general and the human external ear in particular.Thus, the topic of individual anatomical variability of the human external ear is currently relevant and actively studied by many researchers in different countries.Knowledge of its limits and features is necessary in many fields -from clinical anatomy to forensic medicine, from remote face identification to manufacturing headphones and earplugs.Therefore, further research is needed to systematize methods for studying human anatomical variability.
