DIAGNOSTIC SIGNIFICANCE OF COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY FOR THE DETECTION OF ODONTOGENIC MAXILLARY SINUSITIS AND THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PREDIMPLANTOLOGICAL ALVEOLAR BONE RIDGE AUGMENTATION
The article examined the diagnostic capabilities of spiral computed tomography (SСT) of paranasal sinuses in preparation for dental implantation. Before subantral augmentation to identify latent odontogenic sinusitis SСT of paranasal sinuses with sagittal reconstruction through large and small molars should be produced. SCT with sagittal reconstruction allows to identify local thickening of mucous membranes of the sinuses in area of causal tooth, shallow canals, sealing the penetration of teeth roots pins or implants in sinus cavity, clearly visualizes oroantral fistula and cyst radicular. After sinus lift SCT allows to evaluate the quality of the predimplantological breast enlargement surgery.
