Anatomical and topometric features of the zygomatic bone of adult. The practical implementation the clinical problem of maxillofacial surgery on the topic “Zygomatic implants”

Abstract

Relevance. The method of setting the implant in the zygomatic bone often is conjugated errors and severe complications, as well as the need for anatomical justification, is still not widely used. their application. Purpose. Purpose. Study of the anatomical and topometric features of the zygomatic bone of an adult taking into account the age, sex and loss of natural teeth in the framework of the practical implementation of the clinical problem of maxillofacial surgery on the topic «Zygomatic implants». Materials and methods. The object of the study was the material of the modern craniological collection. For a collection of studying the anatomical and topometric features of the zygomatic bone and assessing the impact of tooth loss on its size, more than 200 skulls of people who died aged 18 to 79 years were studied. Results. In the study the linear dimensions and thickness of the adult zygomatic bones of an adult person have not been identified age-related features, as well as changes in the studied parameters, taking into account the side of the skull and the loss of natural teeth. Conclusion. Regardless of the side of the skull, age, sex and degree of tooth loss, the size of the zygomatic bone of men and women is determined by the size of the skull. Digital bata obtained, taking into account the size of the patients skull (very small, small, small, medium, large and very large) showed that the structure of the zygomatic bone is characterized by the presence of a thick layer of compact substance and a small-cell spongy substance, and the direction of the bone plates of the compact substance of the zygomatic buttress, as a rule, coincides with the direction of chewing stresses.
