[Prevention of postoperative inflammatory complications in patients with maxillo-facial region pathology].

Results of the use of antibiotics for prevention and treatment of different maxillo-facial pathology in maxillo-facial surgery are presented. Antibiotics for prevention were employed in 185 patients and the results were compared with 165 patients serving as control group.
