ABSTRACT

Bite wounds in the maxillofacial region are relatively common, they have been considered of complex treatment, contaminated with a unique polymicrobial inoculum and in occasions with devastating cosmetic results. Domestic and wild animal and humans may cause the wounds. The clinician should have an understanding of the surgical therapy, medical therapy, virology, bacteriology and the proper sequence of treatment. We present the literature review and clinical cases for the integral management of this type of trauma.
