The advantages of CT before OPTG in the examination of patients before dental implantation. Keywords: dental status, dental implantation, orthopantomography, computed tomography . During examination before dental implantation with the use of orthopantomo-graphy (OPTG) and computer tomography (CT) stomatological status was studied in 242 patients of the Clinical stomatologic center of FMBA, Russia. Indices of frequency and intensity of dental caries and periodontal disease were determined, as well as frequency of maxillary sinuses pathology, evaluation of the preliminary endodontic treatment quality was given, morphometric data governing frequency of indications to bone-plastic operations were presented. The advances of CT over OPTG were shown during patients examination before dental implants were made. Key words: stomatological status, dental implantation, orthopantomography, computer tomography.
