[10 years' experience of cryosurgery in the maxillofacial area]

The author informs through statistical statements about the ten years use of cryosurgery in the maxillofacial region and discusses and analyses the cryotherapy of selected groups of affection. Affections of any superficial, but of minor depth-effect--for instance leukoplakias--may generally be treated cryosurgical with much success. Good results are obtainable also with soft neoplasms, as hemangiomas, where distinct functional and aesthetic advantages are emphasized.
