The main morphometric parameters of the midface on 85 skulls of adults, 120 radiographs of the skull in frontal and lateral projections, 120 spiral computer tomograms of the skull were studied. To determine the topography of the neurovascular formations of the midface, specially developed and introduced the new concepts «anterior maxillary triangle»,«lateral maxillary triangle». When studying the main morphometric parameters of the midface, it was found that there are statistically significant differences between the indicators obtained on the anatomical specimen and on the roentgenogram of the skull. The data obtained from measurements on the skull and spiral computed tomography, almost coincide. The linear dimensions and area of the lateral maxillary triangle in the group of studied skulls obtained on the anatomical specimen and its spiral computed tomography are also not statistically different, while the same parameters measured on the radiograph of the skull compared to the two above these objects of study are significantly different. Thus, the morphometric parameters of all anatomical areas (orbit, pear-shaped aperture, upper jaw, infratemporal fossa) on anatomical preparations of the skull and their spiral computed tomography have no significant differences. The detected statistically significant differences in the studied parameters of the skull on anatomical specimens and their radiographs are due to the layering of shadows of bone structures and image distortion. It can be assumed that the latter depends on the installation of the object. At the same time, these values in absolute figures vary from 1,5 to 3 mm, which in practical terms is not significant. On this basis, radiography, as well as spiral computed tomography, can be considered an informative method for diagnosing damage to the midface.
