ABSTRACT
We have studied 19 patients with maxillo-facial trauma from the nutritional point at view. We observed that subjects with serious multiple fractures need a high caloric intake (a positive nitrogen balance is achieved by 100% of patients only when their intake is greater than or equal to 46 cal./kg/day) while patients with less serious fractures need lower caloric intake. The A. underline the importance of nutritional therapy in the patients with "intramaxillar fixation" both for the practical and psychological problems connected with their feeding and for the relationship between nutritional conditions and "metabolic response".
