[Multidisciplinary approach to oral rehabilitation in wounded fighters].

Abstract

Maxillofacial injuries during military service and in operations in particular, often involve soft and hard tissues, including fractures of bone and teeth. This kind of injury demands a multidisciplinary approach including specialists in oral and maxillofacial surgery periodontists, endodontics, orthodontics and prosthodontics. A comprehensive therapy is achieved by a complete cooperation between the disciplines for a long-term. We present a case report of a complex oral rehabilitation of a fighter wounded in "Zuk Eitan" operation, as an example of the multidisciplinary approach in our department.
