[The significance of lipid peroxides for prediction of traumatic mandibular osteomyelitis].

68 patients with mandible's fractures were observed. There was studied the importance of peroxygenation of lipids and antioxydation system for prognosing and diagnosing of posttraumatic osteomyelitis of mandible. It was established that the intensifies of peroxygenation of lipids increased and the level of antioxydation system decreased in cases of mandible's fractures.

[The use of new biologically compatible materials in filling defects of the jaw].

A method for plastic repair of defects and deformations of the mandible by implants made of glass-crystal material based on magnesium orthophosphate and fluoroapatite is described. Good results and experience gained by the present time in the use of biocompatible crystal glass materials recommends them for wider use.

[The osteoplastic replacement of mandibular defects].

Remote (from 1 to 18 years) results of mandibular defect repair were followed up in 64 patients, to whom auto- and allografts and implants of glass ceramics were implanted. A relatively low incidence of complications in patients with glass ceramic implants demonstrates its advantages over other materials for plastic repair of mandibular defects.

[X-ray characteristics of changes in the jaw bones in phlegmons of the maxillofacial area].

The x-ray investigation of 445 patients with maxillofacial phlegmones showed that in 95.7% of the observations phlegmones were complicating the ongoing diseases. X-ray signs of the inflammatory changes within the bones were distinct on 3rd-4th day of the disease.
