“MASS”- phenotype or dysplasia of the conjuctive tissue has been studied for many years, but it still remains the actual problem in clinical and theoretical medicine. Great integration of clinical genetics and molecular biology into medicine has revealed the most complicated and multistage structure of the pathogenesis of this decease. “MASS”- phenotype is observed nearly in all the parts and systems of the human body, including the mouth cavity. According to the existed sources the decease has not been completely studied so far. So, the aim of the research was to estimate stomatological status into “MASS”- phenotype. The research into “MASS”- phenotype showed great macromorphological changes in mouth cavity and consequently, some changes in the stomatological status were observed.
