OBJECTIVE:Maxillofacial injuries are one of commonest injuries encountered. Roentgenographic evaluation of maxillofacial trauma is of prime importance for diagnosis and treatment of these injuries. STUDY DESIGN: Forty patients were evaluated in prospective four year study. We studied and evaluated the demography and diagnostic efficacy of clinical, plain radiography, and computed scan in maxillofacial trauma. RESULT: Road traffic accidents were commonest cause of maxillofacial injuries. Patients having multiple fractures, mandibular fractures was commonest. CONCLUSION: Computed tomography proved a useful adjunct in mid facial trauma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
