abstract="Bear bite injuries have become a common occurrence as the forest covers and natural habitats are diminishing. Patients injured in bear attack present with different patterns of injuries. A common protocol may not be suitable for the management of injuries inflicted by these large wild animals. These animals usually attack in remote areas where composite trauma centres do not exist and urgent referrals of these patients will have significant effect on the final outcome. Limited literature is available describing bear bite management in maxillofacial practice. The goal of the present case reports is to document the injuries suffered in bear mauling and to add to the literature on the conservative management with minimal complications.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
