It allows for obtaining optimal information about the anatomical structure of the patient's jaws and thereby for the choice of implants, implantation technique, and methods for the pre-implantation calculation of the amount of bone tissue for patients presenting with severe jaw atrophy. Moreover, spiral CT may be used to detect postoperative complications, e.g. after sinus lifting. It is concluded that spiral CT must be included in the algorithm of X-ray studies for the planning of dental implantation.dental implantationspiral CTmethod for the calculation of the amount of bone tissueдентальная имплантацияспиральная КТметодика расчета количества костной ткани
