Abstract

Of all combat wounds the share of head wounds amounts to almost 15%. Gunshot and explosive wounds are specific both with regard to the mechanism of occurrence and with regard to the resulting damage. Combat wounds in the maxillofacial region, because of their extent and the extent of the permanent damage, are as a rule far worse than those that occur during peacetime, and the difficulty of rehabilitation of such wounds is proportional.
Today implantoprosthetic rehabilitation is routine, although in the period immediately after the Homeland War it was just in its initial stage. In the Clinic of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery University Hospital “Dubrava”, Zagreb several defects of the teeth and jaws in military and civil invalids of war were rehabilitated by the method of inserting titanium osseointegrating implants, followed by rehabilitation with prosthetic devices. Cases are presented of implantoprosthetic rehabilitation of combat wounds to the face and jaws with five-year monitoring.
