title: [Radiodiagnosis in the planning of surgical treatment for extensive jaw cysts].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To make an algorithm for the optimal planning of a surgical procedure in patients with jaw cysts.
  
  
  METHODS
  Sixty-six patients were operated on using cystotomy. The planning stage used radiation examination, including 7 survey radiographies, 62 orthopantomographies, and 33 computed tomographies (CT). The informative indicators of the most commonly used radiation techniques for this abnormality were compared. High technology radiation techniques (CT) showed the highest informative and diagnostic values.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The investigation indicated the relationship of a surgical technique and the anatomic and topographic relations of a pathological process. The findings make it possible to prevent complications and recurrences during this treatment modality and to create favorable conditions for bone regeneration.
