title: [Surgical treatment of mandible fractures in heavy drinkers].
abstract: The number of alcohol abusing patients with maxillofacial trauma hospitalised in reanimation department or specialized departments is constantly growing and was estimated as 36% in the current study. Patients with acute or chronic alcohol intoxication and fractures of the lower jaw have problems with fracture fixation. Traditional surgical fixation methods are traumatic and not always effective. The study evaluates the efficiency of new surgical methods of mandible fractures fixation in patients with chronic or acute alcohol intoxication.
