PECULIARITIES OF CLINICO-IMMUNOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTICS OF COMMON INFLAMMATORY DISEASE OF THE SOFT TISSUES IN THE MAXILLOFACIAL REGION AND THEIR COMPLICATIONS

The results of analysis of clinical and morphological characteristics of the inflammatory process in the maxillofacial region are reported based on the observation of 83 patients presenting with disseminated odontogenic phlegmons and their complications. It was shown that the clinical manifestations of the dissemination and complicated inflammatory process in the soft tissues of the maxillofacial region were represented by five variants of the inflammatory reaction of the hyperergic type. The clinico-immunological diagnostic and prognostic criteria of the inflammatory process have been developed providing a basis for the precise characteristic and prognostication of the further course of the disease and rational planning of its management.
