Abstract
This article shows the possibilities of ultrasound imaging for sequential purulent-inflammatory diseases of the maxillofacial area. The high information yield of this method is noted during the first outpatient visit.
Objective. To evaluate the efficiency and necessity of ultrasound diagnostics of purulentinflammatory processes in primary dental patients at the outpatient stage.
Materials and Methods. The research was done on a Philips Affiniti 70 ultrasound machine, using a standard technique using linear scanning sensors with a frequency of 5–17 MHz, using B-mode and Dopplerography.
Results. During ultrasound examination at the prehospital period, abscesses were diagnosed in 36 (48 %) patients phlegmon was found in 23 (30 %), and 16 (21 %) patients were observed with infiltrative changes, two of them had a parasite in soft tissues.
Conclusion. Ultrasound is an important method for detecting inflammatory diseases of the maxillofacial area at the initial outpatient appointment. The study allows you to identify fast and accurately pathological changes, determine their nature and prevalence, as well as conduct dynamic monitoring.
