Abstract
The material comprised patients from the Stockholm region with jaw fra ctures during 1978-1980 and 1988-1990. The study showed that there had been a decrease of jaw fractures in Stockholm during the two periods. Some of the findings indicated that the injuries had become more seri ous while this was contradicted by others. There was no conclusive evi dence of a significant increase in either the number or severity of in juries due to violence or traffic accidents. On the contrary the study indicated that the decrease of jaw fractures had continued.
