[Management of patients with maxillofacial injuries at the Oral Surgery Department of the Hungarian Central Military Hospital (analysis of a 10-year patient material)].

The authors have worked up the most important data of as many as 500 patients with malar and mandibular bone injuries. It is established that these injuries mostly derive from aggressive actions and traffic accidents. During this decade the ratio of injuries regarding the mandible and centre of the face has changed from 2.5:1 to 1:1. Since January 1, 1994 the number of managed injured patients has significantly increased, as a consequence of the maxillofacial service connected into the duty management in Budapest.
