FREQUENCY OF ALCOHOL-ASSOCIATED MANDIBULAR FRACTURES IN NORTHERN FINLAND IN THE 1980s
In order to evaluate the frequency of alcohol-associated mandibular fractures, information on patients treated and diagnosed at a University Hospital and Dental Institute in northern Finland between 1981 and 1990 was analysed. Altogether, 117 male patients (out of 239) and 23 female patients (out of...
