X-RAY DIAGNOSIS OF JAW CYSTS IN CHILDREN

Abstract

Radiography is the main method of diagnosing jaw cysts in children. This method allows you to assess the condition of bone tissue, the presence of a cystic cavity – its localization, size, content, relationships with anatomical structures, the condition of teeth, identify the causal tooth in odontogenic cysts, establish a preliminary diagnosis and determine further treatment tactics. To date, the most informative method for diagnosing jaw cysts is computed tomography of bones (CT). It gives a complete picture of the Cystic cavity, its position relative to anatomical structures, the state of bone tissue and causal teeth, and the position of the follicles of permanent teeth in three planes. The purpose of study. To identify radiological features of jaw bones in children and to identify the most informative methods of diagnosis. Research methods. A retrospective analysis of additional rengenological methods of study of 286 medical cases of patients with jaw cysts aged 4 to 17 years. Analysis of disease histories was performed according to the developed examination map. Statistical data processing is performed using the IBM SPSS statistical 23 program. Results. When evaluating X-ray diagnostic methods, attention was paid to the causal teeth and their condition, adjacent teeth and tooth folucules that are wrapped in cystic cavities. The following indicators were found: the roots of causal teeth were resorbed in 82% (n=237) cases, not resorbed in 2% (n=6), adjacent teeth were filled in 53% (N=153) cases, and in 47% (N=133) were intact; the position of the rudiment of permanent teeth was changed in 83% (n=131), and in 17% (n=27). Scientific novelty. Analyzed additional rengenological methods for diagnosing jaw bones in childhood. Conclusions. The main method of diagnosing jaw cysts is radiological, among which the first place is occupied by OPTH. But the most informative method of diagnosis is CT. It allows you to detail the image, detect the presence of a cyst, the relationship to anatomical structures, assess the bone structure during rehabilitation, give clear prognostic criteria for the conception of a permanent tooth.
