| Popis: | Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are frequently called on to evaluate and treat patients with facial trauma. While vehicular accidents and interpersonal violence are the most frequent causes, an estimated 44,000 facial injuries are encountered annually from dog bites in the United States. ~ With the exception of a few isolated case reports, discussions of these injuries have been virtually nonexistent in the oral and maxillofacial surgery literature. The purpose of this article is to provide the oral and maxillofacial surgeon with a comprehensive review of the incidence, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of facial dog bite injuries (FDB1). |
