Anatomical Features of the Facial and Lingual Arteries According to Ultrasound Examination (literature review)

Keywords: anatomy of the facial and lingual arteries, ultrasound examination of the tongue

This article presents a literature review on anatomical features of the facial and lingual arteries using ultrasound examination. The study of blood supply in the maxillofacial region is urgent in modern dentistry because of improved surgical interventions and search for new methods for evaluating the functioning of the dentofacial system. The purpose of the review is to assess the anatomical structure of the facial and lingual arteries using ultrasound diagnostics according to domestic and foreign sources, the opportunities of its use in various fields of medicine. The analysis of literary sources was carried out in the databases PubMed, Elibrary, CyberLeninka. Scientific reviews, original studies and patents over the past 10 years were studied, which present the results of using an ultrasound method to assess the circulatory system of the maxillofacial region. Currently, an increasing interest is observed in using this diagnostic method in dentistry to assess hemodynamics in the treatment of various diseases in the maxillofacial region. The blood supply to the maxillofacial region is characterized by a pronounced individuality, which has not been sufficiently studied. The study of publications on the presented topic will enable to assess the variability in the structure of the facial and lingual arteries, modern imaging modalities of pathological processes in the maxillofacial region and the possibility of using ultrasound in various areas of dentistry.
