[Dentist's work at the treatment of maxillofacial injuries under extraordinary circumstances]

In the article the author describes the possibilities of dentist's work with maxillo-facially injured persons in cases of greater mass disasters as earth-quakes, floods, greater traffic accidents, and recently also the accidents at sports stadiums and demonstrations. Owing to extraordinary circumstances and a great number of injured people on a small place, and short time available, simple methods of temporary immobilisation are used, which are carried out from the place of the injury to the transport in a specialist institution, where the final specialist treatment begins. Some of these methods are described by the author.
