The main directions of his scientific activity in the issues of the development and improvement of the techniques of tooth extraction, treatment of difficult wisdom teeth eruption, odontogenic maxillary sinusitis, gunshot fractures and osteomyelitis of the upper jaw are examined. It is shown, that D.E. Tanfiliev has specified the function of the maxillary sinuses and physiological significance of its walls, described an age and functional rearrangement of the maxillary sinus bone tissue under the maxillary sinus floor and its significance for direct prosthesis. Received by D.E. Tanfiliev the information about age anatomy of maxillary sinuses is important for the practicing dentist, not only for facilitating diagnostics and therapy of this or that pathology, but also for knowing the genesis of old age and struggle for prolongation of active longevity. It is no coincidence that today special importance is given to dental rehabilitation of patients with severe atrophy of the alveolar processes and jaw parts using dentures on artificial supports He has improved the therapy of maxillary sinusitis in connection with the age-related features of the maxillary sinus structure and the types of bone structure of the upper jaw. He paid special attention to the clinical picture and treatment of concomitant gunshot injuries of the upper jaw.
