“…In studies conducted in developing regions such as India, road traffic accidents (74.7-92.16%) were reported more frequently as the most common etiology in MFTs [29,[37][38][39]. In our study, road traffic accidents (25.5%) were the second most common etiology in MFTs.…”

“…Among the causes of road traffic accidents in developing countries, reasons such as poorly defined traffic rules, inadequate traffic lighting, inadequacy of signage, and uncontrolled vehicles have been reported [30,[37][38][39][40][41]. However, with the increasing population density in some developed countries, it has been reported that MFTs, due to road traffic accidents caused by drivers, driving at an earlier age, increasing carelessness and non-compliance with traffic rules [23,28,29,38,42].…”

Introduction: Orbital wall fractures that may develop in maxillofacial traumas (MFTs) may cause ophthalmic complications (OCs). The aim of this study is to determine the frequency of orbital fractures (OFs) accompanying MFTs and findings suspicious for orbital traumatic involvement. Materials and Methods: Computed tomography (CT) images of 887 patients who presented to the emergency department within a 1-year period with a history of MFT were retrospectively scanned. During the examination, patients with orbital wall fractures, craniofacial bone fractures, and posttraumatic soft tissue changes were recorded. Results: OF was observed in 47 (5.3%) of the patients admitted for MFT. In cases with OFs, accompanying nasal (25.5%), ethmoid (2.1%), frontal (19.1%), maxillary (38%), and zygomatic bone fracture (10.6%), sphenoid (4.3%), and soft tissue damage (55.3%) were observed. It was observed that the pathologies mentioned at these levels were significantly higher than in patients without orbital involvement (p < 0.05). In our study, mild (48.9%) and moderate-severe (2.12–4.25%) OCs accompanying OFs were observed after MFT. Conclusions: The frequency of MFT varies depending on various factors, and such studies are needed to take preventive measures. Knowing the risk and frequency of orbital damage accompanying MFTs may help reduce complications by allowing rapid and accurate diagnosis.

This work highlights in detail modern approaches to the comprehensive rehabilitation of patients who have suffered injuries to the maxillofacial region, which can significantly affect the quality of life, causing functional disorders such as problems with chewing, speech and breathing, as well as significant aesthetic defects. Injuries in this area require the participation of specialists from different fields, and in this context, special attention is paid to the interaction of dentists and maxillofacial surgeons. Comprehensive rehabilitation includes several key stages: surgical treatment, restoration of bone and soft tissue structures, orthopedic and orthodontic treatment, as well as aesthetic correction. The need for close cooperation between the surgeon and the dentist is emphasized at all stages of treatment, from the initial diagnosis of injuries and treatment planning to surgical interventions and subsequent dental rehabilitation. Modern methods of surgical correction, such as osteosynthesis, reconstruction of bone defects using bone grafts and implants, as well as the use of new biomaterials, are discussed. Dental rehabilitation includes occlusion restoration, dental prosthetics and bite correction, which requires careful planning and consideration of surgical aspects. The issues of functional rehabilitation of patients, such as restoration of chewing function, proper articulation and facial aesthetics, are also considered. Special attention is paid to new technologies and innovative approaches, such as 3D modeling, digital surgery planning and the use of dental implants, which allow achieving high results in restoring both functionality and appearance of the patient. The article focuses on the importance of coordinated work of an interdisciplinary team to achieve the best results in the rehabilitation of patients after maxillofacial injuries. The authors emphasize that an integrated approach, including the interaction of specialists of different profiles, provides a more effective restoration of functions and aesthetics, which significantly improves the quality of life of patients.
