title: [Face injury from jamming in a power-operated window of a motor vehicle: a case report].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Automatic power-operated windows of modern motor vehicles present a risk of injury due to jam events.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 41-year-old man suffered an injury of his gingiva upon jamming of his face between the window and seal entry. The motor vehicle window that led to the injury had no closing force restriction.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Equipping power-operated windows with closing force restriction should be required.
