[Lymphotropic antibacterial therapy for preventing inflammatory complications of mandibular fractures]

We propose a new method of preventing infectious and inflammatory complications of mandibular fractures crossing the dental arch. The method was based on regional lymphotropic administration of antibacterial drugs to the mastoid region of the temporal bone. This technique was applied in combined therapy of 51 patients. Comparative analysis with the control group revealed high efficacy of the given method. Basing upon clinical experience we worked out indications to the regional lymphotropic antibacterial therapy as a part of complex prophylaxis of posttraumatic mandible osteomyelitis.
