CURRENT APPROACHES TO DIAGNOSTICS AND COMPREHENSIVE TREATMENT OF TUMORS OF THE MAXILLOFACIAL REGION

Abstract

Statistics says about the severity of the situation with cancer best of all. Despite a good visualization, and significantly expanding knowledge about the prevention and treatment of tumors of the maxillofacial region, the number of new cases is constantly increasing. Tumors of this region are the most difficult health and social problems in prosthetic dentistry. The morbidity rate of tumors of the maxillofacial region is constantly increasing, and the clinical diagnosis is based on visual inspection and palpation, biopsy and/or histopathological evaluation. Also, the lack of the treatment, late detection of tumors and the complexity of the anatomical structures of this region are the cause of volume of destructive interferences, leading to the complexity of the treatment and subsequent rehabilitation.
