Assessment of the functional state of the maxillofacial region in patients with gnatic forms of malocclusion using kinesiotapes in the early postoperative period

The ratio of biopotentials of the studied muscles as a result of combined treatment of adult patients with gnatic forms of malocclusion during double-jaw surgery is formed due to balanced changes in the amplitude of EMG and the period of bioelectric activity of the temporal and masticatory muscles, as well as a decrease in the amplitude index and an increase in the period of bioelectric rest of the supra-lingual muscles. General practitioners in their practice paid attention to the kinesiotaping method, the mechanism of action of which is based on the creation of favorable conditions for the normalization of microcirculation in the connective tissue of the skin, reducing pain and optimizing afferent pulsation at the segmental level. Materials and methods. We examined 40 orthodontic patients before and after orthognathic surgery, who were divided into two equal groups: group 1 – without kinesiotaping; group 2 – with kinesiotaping. Patients underwent electromyographic and kinesiographic examinations to assess the effects of kinesiotapes during rehabilitation. Results and discussion. The usage of kinesiotapes after orthognathic surgery has a beneficial effect on faster recovery of patients.
