[Maxillary sinusitis as a complication of dental implants placement: a case report].

The article presents a case of chronic odontogenic maxillary sinusitis and the results of its surgical treatment. The cause of the sinusitis, confirmed by the results of X-ray and pathohistological studies, was an inflammatory process affecting the bone tissue around the implant, installed in the place of the upper first molar which was accompanied by the development of an oroantral fistula. During the surgical intervention, the communication between the oral cavity and the maxillary sinus was eliminated, and the implant with the abutment, which was entirely in its cavity, was also removed.

[Diagnostic criteria of maxillary sinus hypoplasia using cone-beam computed tomography].

Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic significance of X-ray criteria of maxillary sinus hypoplasia.

Material And Methods: Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) data of 553 patients (1006 maxillary sinuses) with dental and ENT pathology from Minsk outpatient clinics, were studied. The morphometric parameters of 23 maxillary sinuses with radiological signs of hypoplasia, as well as orbits on the affected side, were analyzed.

[Relationships between the inferior wall of maxillary sinus and the roots of the maxillary molars].

Objective: The aim of the study is to evaluate the position of the roots of the first and second upper molars relative to the bottom of the maxillary sinus (maxillary sinus) according to cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Material And Metods: The CBCT scans of 150 patients (69 men and 81 women) from the database of the X-ray department of the 11th City Clinical Hospital of Minsk who applied for dental care were studied. There are 4 variants of vertical relationships between the roots of the teeth and the lower wall of the maxillary sinus.

[Anatomical variations of the ethmomaxillary sinus].

Objective: To establish the prevalence and individual variations of the ethmomaxillary sinus (EMS) using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Material And Methods: CBCT images from 553 dental and ENT patients (1106 sides), presenting to treatment at Minsk outpatient clinics, Belarus, were used in this study. The maximum vertical diameter of ethmomaxillary sinus in the coronal plane was measured.

[Topographic assessment of the vascular anastomosis in the maxillary sinus wall using cone-beam computed tomography].

Objective: The aim of the study was to establish the prevalence, diameter and topography of the intraosseous vascular canal of the maxillary sinus lateral wall.

Material And Methods: The data of cone-beam computed tomography of 150 dental patients (294 maxillary sinuses) were analyzed.

Results: Intraosseus anastomosis of the branches of the posterior superior alveolar artery and infraorbital artery was detected in 87.

[Automated system of the determination of maxillary sinus morphometric parameters].

The Aim Of The Study: Was to compare manual, semi-automatic and automatic methods for determining the maxillary sinus volume using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Material And Methods: CBCT images from 48 patients (96 maxillary sinuses) with no history of sinus and alveolar bone surgery, who were presented to Minsk medical centers, were used in this study. Neural network training was performed on CBCT scans of 42 patients (84 maxillary sinuses).

[Topography of maxillary sinus septa according to cone beam computed tomography data].

The aim of the study was to establish the location, orientation and height of the maxillary sinus primary septa. The data of 100 cone-beam computed tomography scans of patients with a mean age of 37.6±15.

Stylohyoid complex syndrome: A report of two cases and review of the literature.

This article reports two patients with stylohyoid complex syndrome. Cone beam computed tomography examination of the 37-year-old Caucasian woman with hemifacial pain, radiating to the left ear which intensified in response to opening the mouth revealed the ossified distal part of the left stylohyoid ligament, 23.85 mm long, which had a contact with the lesser horn of the hyoid.

Hemifacial microsomia: skeletal abnormalities evaluation using CBCT (case report).

The article presents a case report and literature review of hemifacial microsomia with cervical vertebral anomalies. Unilateral hypoplasia of the mandible, congenital anomalies of the external ear and cervical spine pathology identified in this case are common major signs/symptoms of Goldenhar (Goldenhar-Gorlin) syndrome. Complete fusion of bodies and spinous processes of the second and third cervical vertebrae as well as atlantooccipital assimilation and anterior cleft of the atlas were also found.

[Bifid mandibular canal].

The article describes three types of bifurcations of the mandibular canal that were identified as accidental findings in cone-beam computed tomograms of the maxillofacial area of patients subjected to dental treatment. Bifid mandibular canal types are illustraded with clinical cases.

Study of the mandibular incisive canal anatomy using cone beam computed tomography.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify the range of individual variability in dimensions and topography of the mandibular incisive canal (MIC) in vivo.

Methods: One hundred cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans of patients from dental outpatient hospitals of Minsk, Belarus were performed on Galileos GAX5 using standard exposure and patient positioning protocol. Reformatted panoramic and sagittal CBCT images were analyzed.

[Enterovirus infections and meningitis in children].

Objective: To compare clinical characteristics in children with enterovirus infections (EVI) and meningitis with detailed characteristics of the changes in the content of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) confirmed in the laboratory.

Material And Methods: The results of examinations of 97 children, aged from 2.5 to 15 years, 3 adolescents and 1 adult female patient with EVI were analyzed.

[Brain and spine cord lesions caused by syphilis].

Objective: To analyze clinical features of the nervous system damage in syphilis taking into account the changes in the content of cerebrospinal fluid and clinical/anatomical brain damages of the brain.

Methods: The study was based on the analysis of 47 case histories of patients hospitalized in 1995-2001. The group included 47 patients, aged from 17 to 60 years.

[Indices of cellular immunity in patients with influenza A1].

The content of T-lymphocytes was determined by the method of spontaneous rosette formation according to Bach et al. and of B-lympocytes by the method of complementary rosette formation according to Mendes et al. in patients with uncomplicated and complicated influenza A1.
