Dog Bite Injury on The Face of a Patient with an Alloplastic Implant
Main Article Content
Abstract
In Mexico, dog bite injuries have an incidence of 110.44 per 100,000 inhabitants. In more than half of the cases the attack was by family or neighbor dogs; an important factor in determining the severity of the injuries is the breed of the dogs. Of the bites on the face, the nose and lips are the most affected sites. Bites in this area should be sutured soon because of the infrequent infectious complications. A clinical case is presented of a 62-year-old female patient who was bitten on the nose and lip by her Rottweiler breed dog while being fed.
