X-RAY ASSESSMENT OF THE OROANTRAL COMMUNICATION POTENTIAL RISK IN PATIENTS DEPENDING ON GENDER

Tooth extraction is the most common operation in the practice of a dentist-surgeon. With the increase in the number of surgical interventions, the number of complications also increases, one of which is the occurrence of an oroantral communication with the maxillary sinus. Knowing the causes and patterns of the prevalence of potential risk factors can significantly reduce the number of complications. Thus, the need to diagnose the presence of a potential risk of an oroantral communication formation comes to the fore. Cone beam computed tomography is the most informative and accessible method of radiodiagnosis of the relative position of the upper jaw teeth roots and maxillary sinus. This article presents the results of a study of the dependence of potential anatomical risk factors on the patient's gender according to cone-beam computed tomography.
