ОБОСНОВАННИЕ ПРИМЕНЕНИЯ МЕТОДОВ ТОМОГРАФИИ ВИСОЧНО-НИЖНЕЧЕЛЮСТНЫХ СУСТАВОВ ПРИ ДИАГНОСТИКЕ ПРИВЫЧНОГО ВЫВИХА И ПОДВЫВИХА НИЖНЕЙ ЧЕЛЮСТИ

Comparative summary analysis of interpreting the data of tomography of o temporomandibular joint (TMJ) in habitual dislocation and subluxation of mandible is given in the article on the basis of tomograms obtained by means of X-ray apparatus with tomography extension in accordance with generally accepted technique and by means of computer tomography (CT) of TMJ. The CT of TMJ was being carried out in the position of central occlusion and with maximally open mouth. This research made it possible to assume that CT of TMJ is a more informative method of diagnostics in habitual dislocation and subluxation of mandible: CT of TMJ makes it possible to obtain the image in three mutually perpendicular planes and to obtain volumetric reconstruction of TMJ elements, which maces in possible to interpret more precisely the obtained results for diagnostics. CT of TMJ may be the pledge of successful pathogenetic treatment of this pathology. TMJ tomography by means of X-ray apparatus with tomography extension is insuffi ciently informative diagnostics method, which makes it diffi cult to verify this pathology.
