Abstract
260 consecutive cases of jaw fractures were seen during a two-year period. A follow-up 6 months after treatment covering 81 patients showed that the dental injuries are the most important sequelae of a jaw fracture; The complications noted at treatment had been fewer except for the disorders of the temporo-mandibular joint which had an increasing tendency. It was striking to note the great falling off percentage of suspected alcohol abuses, i.e. patients injured by assaults and falls.Keywords
