The Present Status of Diagnostic Imaging of Postoperative Complications after Orthognatic Interventions (Literature Review)

Abstract

This article presents a review of foreign literature on the methods of diagnostics imaging of postoperative complications in orthognathic surgery. After the analysis, it can be argued that high-tech methods, such as computed tomography, cone beam computed tomography have improved the possibilities of imaging diagnostics in obtaining clinically significant information about postoperative complications of the maxillofacial region. Nevertheless, it should be noted that foreign sources not cover such issues as: tomographic semiotics of postoperative complications in orthognatic surgery, the role and place of radiation technologies in the examination of patients with postoperative complications; don`t specified indications and contraindications for use of each methods.
