Abstract

The development of a peer-reviewed journals in the profile of oral and maxillofacial surgery is impossible without the leadership of professionals in each of the sections. One such section is the trauma section. In the conditions of a large-scale war on the European continent and numerous military conflicts of varying intensity in many parts of the globe, the experience of surgeons in the treatment of combat, explosive and gunshot injuries is one of the most relevant areas of head and neck surgery. Among the many types of injuries of the maxillofacial area, fractures of the mandible remain one of the most numerous conditions. In this paper, we will present to your attention a new section and its founding editor, namely Professor Coulthard.
