ROLE OF TRIGGER FACTORS AND SOMATIC PATHOLOGY IN CHRONIC RECURRENT LIP CRACK

The frequency of detection of the symptom of decreased height of the lower part of the face in patients with mild chronic fissures of the lips was 1.042%; with moderate severity – 3.12%; and in severe cases in 14.58% of patients versus 5.00% in the control group; increase in the frequency of detection of the lip with a “central” constriction, respectively, 2.084%; 24.168% and 11.46% in the absence of control; similar dynamics of increase; frequency of detection of a “full” lower lip is 0.0%; 2.08% and 14.58% versus 7.5% in the control; trauma from chipped teeth, fillings and orthopedic structures – in 1.042%; 2.084% and 12.50% versus 7.5% in the control; and the frequency of the bad habit of “biting” lips is correspondingly 0.0%; 3.12% and 8.33% versus 2.5% in the control.
