CLINICAL AND RADIOGRAPHIC ASSESSMENT OF UPPER JAW IN PERIAPICAL DESTRUCTIVE PROCESSES
The clinical and radiographic examination carried out in patients with chronic periodontitis, which complicated with destructive processes in the periapical tissues (granuloma сystogranulema, radicular cyst), mainly in the area of the front group of teeth and premolars of the upper jaw. Most patients surveyed (68.9?%) with chronic destructive processes in the periapical tissues ranged in age from 21 to 40 years, among which dominated the women. Periapical destructive processes in the majority of cases diagnosed by radiological study conducted more frequently about other pathology as well as clinical picture at this stage of the inflammatory process did not have the characteristic symptoms. However, it found that the hearth is localized closer to the cortical plate, the more clinical and radiological signs. The discrepancy of radiological and clinical data frequently occurred with radiographic defect sizes until 3 cm. These differences are due to parallax of x-ray image, accompanying with any near-focus shooting which produced with X-ray mode.
