In view of great advances in traumatology and other related medical specialities the need arose of verification of the presently accepted indications to the choice of the type and mode of treatment of fractures in the facial skeleton. The range of studies on this problem and the methods are described. The results of own research work along these lines are discussed, and the continuation of this work and conclusions will be reported in the following issue of the Czasopismo Stomatologiczne.
