Abstract:
The author has undertaken clinical studies on oral infections in the oral cavity and maxillofacial regions by analyzing 987 patients with infections among 3,921 in-patients hospitalized in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Seoul National University Hospital past 7 years from 1980 to 1987.
