“…The predominance of orofacial injuries in the younger age group is consistent with the findings of different published work. 2 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 The male predominance in our study agrees with what is reported in the literature. 2 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 Males are at greater risk due to their greater participation in high risk activities, which increases their exposure to risk factors such as driving vehicles, sports that involve physical contact, an active social life and drug use, including alcohol.…”

“…In our study road traffic accidents are the leading cause of orofacial injuries, which is in consonance with many of the published studies from other parts of India 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 and abroad. 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 In contrary to the results of our study, interpersonal violence was the most common cause of orofacial trauma in studies done in New Zealand, 21 North-eastern Brazil, 22 Thailand, 23 United Kingdom, 24 Australia 3 and Zimbabwe.…”

“… 3 The epidemiology of facial injuries varies in injury type, severity and depending upon the population studied. 4 Recent studies from India (Goa, 5 Bhopal, 6 Chennai, 7 Jammu, 8 Gujarat, 9 New Delhi 10 ) and from across the globe (China, 11 Italy, 12 South America, 13 South Korea 14 ) have shown that road traffic accidents are still the primary causes of facial trauma. The causes and pattern of orofacial injuries reflect trauma patterns within the community and, as such, can provide a guide to plan the programmes catered toward prevention and treatment.…”

PurposeOrofacial trauma is becoming a leading medical problem worldwide. Most of the studies pertaining to orofacial trauma have been done in urban areas but very little scientific literature is available for rural areas.MethodsA prospective medical institute-based study of orofacial injury patients was carried out from May 2013 to April 2016 (36 Months). Data regarding incidence, age and sex distribution, causes, types and site of injury, treatment modalities and trauma associated complications were collected and analysed.ResultsA total of 784 patients were studied. Males outnumbered females by a ratio of 2.9:1. Age range was 9 months–75 years with the peak incidence in the age-group of 18–34 years. Most injuries were caused by road-side accidents (72.7%), followed by assault and falls in 11.6% and 8% respectively. Soft tissue injuries and mandibular fractures were the most common type of injuries. Head/neck (50.29%) and limb injuries (27.2%) were the most prevalent associated injuries. Surgical debridement and soft tissue suturing was the most common emergency procedure. Closed reduction was performed in 61% of patients and open reduction and internal fixation in 30% of cases and 9% were managed conservatively. Complications occurred in 6.88% of patients, mainly due to infection and malocclusion. The mean duration of hospital stay was (10.12 ± 6.24) days.ConclusionThis study highlights the importance of department of dental surgery along with other disciplinaries in the management of orofacial injuries. Road-side accident remains the major etiological factor of orofacial injuries in our setting.

Aims The number of patients suffering maxillofacial trauma remains constant although the affected patients become older. The aim of this study was to illuminate the patterns of maxillofacial fractures in a University Medical Centre and to analyse potential changes in patient population and treatment methods during a 5‐year period. Materials and methods In a retrospective analysis, the records of 573 patients with maxillofacial fractures treated in a level one trauma centre from January 2010 to December 2014 were analysed with regard to gender, age, date and time of hospitalization as well as discharge, aetiology, type of fracture, surgery details, complications and further injuries. Causes were subdivided into assaults, falls, epileptic seizure, work‐related, traffic accident by car or bicycle, sport‐associated or others (eg caused by explosions, horse kicks or unknown). Results The most common causes for fractures were assaults (28.8%; n = 165), followed by falls (23.9%; n = 137), although falls became the main reason for maxillofacial fractures in 2013 and 2014. The mean age for patients suffering from facial fractures due to falls was significantly higher compared to those injured by other causes. Most commonly, fractures of the zygomatico‐maxillary complex with or without orbital floor involvement were seen (31.6%; n = 291) followed by fractures of the mandible (20.6%; n = 190) and fractures of the nose (15.2%; n = 140). Most patients were treated surgically (89.5%; n = 513) even though an increase in non‐surgical treatment was found over the examination period, especially in older patients. Conclusions Maxillofacial fractures are mostly seen in younger male patients. Assaults were the main pattern of injury during the whole examination period, although falls became the main cause in older patients over the last 2 years.
