[Maxillofacial tumors subject to registration in the district of Frankfurt (Oder) during the years 1963-1973]

From the viewpoints of detection, prevention, diagnosis and therapy, the epidemiology of notifiable tumours in the maxillofacial region was of paramount interest in a district without university and clinic specialized in maxillofacial surgery. The results obtained were used in various ways in preparing the opening of our special clinic.
