[Delayed infections after foreign body inclusion in the maxillofacial region]. 1979

D Westphal, and B Reil

Nine cases of so-called late infections following foreign body inclusions due to trauma as well as possible developmental mechanisms were discussed. The question arises as to whether a nonirritating incorporated foreign body should be surgically removed as early as possible to eliminate the possibility of late infection.
