LATE IDENTIFICATION OF FRACTURE OF THE LOWER JAW
Clinical observation is given of a patient with a fracture of the lower jaw, which, due to defects in the treatment and diagnostic process in the dental department of a multidisciplinary hospital and inattentive attitude to the victim, was taken as an acute purulent pericoronitis against the background of a difficult wisdom tooth eruption. The causes of late diagnosis of a fracture of the lower jaw are considered.
