title: [Problems of bite injuries in the maxillo-facial region].
abstract: Bite injuries by animals in the maxillo-facial-region require special managements of the treating physician or dentist. In the foreground stands the prophylaxis of the rabies. According to the lawful definitions the patient has to be transferred as quick as possible to the next department for rabies and inoculation. The local wound of bite must be treated with rabies-virucid medicaments. Because of aesthetic and functional reasons the primary plastic operation should be done even in cases of extensive wounds and defects in the facial region. By means of 19 cases these demands are based.
