Analysis of literary data shows that the growth of social tension, deterioration of environmental conditions, worsening of the criminal situation in the country during the years studied led to an increase in the number of defects in the face and dento-jaw system as a result of injuries, congenital pathologies and oncological diseases. Patients with damage to the maxillofacial area make up a very difficult group among patients in dental clinics.
