Annotation:
In the clinic of maxillofacial surgery, physicians daily encounter functional disorders of the oral cavity and oropharynx. These disorders can have varying degrees of severity, which are assessed by the criteria of pain intensity, chewing efficiency, the ability to form a food bolus, and swallowing. It is important to note that these impairments vary in their expression and directly depend on the area of damage or tumor involvement, as well as the volume of the defect. Pathological changes often include not only defects of the dentition, which affect occlusion and mastication, but also significant defects of the soft tissues of the oral cavity (tongue, cheeks, palate), which are important for articulation, chewing, and swallowing. Given the diversity of complex movements and numerous functions of the organs of the oral cavity and oropharynx, as well as the various sources of origin of these disorders (trauma, oncological diseases, congenital defects), their systematization is extremely difficult. However, such a classification is absolutely necessary. The development of a clear classification system will allow for improved treatment outcomes and the quality of life for patients. The article presents new data on the ligamentous apparatus of the oro- and laryngopharynx, which ensures the elevation of the larynx. Data on the metamerism of organs and neuromuscular complexes of the oral cavity and oropharynx are provided. A new anatomical structure – the fascial-ligamentous sheath of the oral cavity and oropharynx – is described. Its role in the formation of the food bolus is demonstrated. The metamerism of the skull and its formation according to general biological laws based on the oligomerization of fragments is also described.
