[The optimization of the reparative processes in a mandibular bone wound in patients with chronic alcoholism]

A total of 148 chronic alcoholics with mandibular fractures were treated. Hydroxyapol and colapol were inserted in bone wounds for improving the reparative osteogenesis. Clinical, immunological, and echo-osteometric data demonstrated the efficacy of both preparations, which promoted bone repair and reduced the incidence of pyoinflammatory complications.
