COMPLEX TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH COMBINED FACIAL INJURIES TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE HYGIENE STATE OF THE ORAL CAVITY

Аннотация

Fractures of the maxillofacial bones account for about 3% of all injuries to the human skeletal bones. About 45% of patients in maxillofacial surgery departments are victims with maxillofacial trauma. According to statistical studies, in 14-20% of cases, victims have a combined craniocerebral injury. Damage to the tissues of the face and neck are classified as complex types of injuries. The presence of major blood vessels, nerve trunks and branches and, accordingly, an abundance of reflexogenic zones, the proximity of vital organs predispose to the development of a greater number of complications. When providing first aid and treating wounded with injuries to the face and jaws, the characteristics of injuries to this anatomical region should be taken into account. In the complex of treatment and preventive measures aimed at solving this problem, an important place is occupied by the provision of qualified specialized medical care to victims. Prevention of periodontal tissue complications during treatment of combined maxillofacial injuries and reduction of the percentage of individuals with signs of periodontal tissue damage are urgent problems in maxillofacial surgery and dentistry practice in general.
