“…The low incidence in the 1 st decade is due to the anatomico-morphologic peculiarities of the infantile bone, the small body size in proportion to the head, high bone to tooth ratio, low social and outdoor activities and parental guidance and supervision 24,25,26,27,28,29 . In line with the global picture 9, 11,18,21,23,30 the male population are predominantly affected by maxillofacial trauma.…”

“…Nosso estudo revelou que os dois principais mecanismos de trauma facial são violência interpessoal (VI) e queda (Q).Três décadas atrás, Luce et al 3 apontaram acidentes por veículos automotores (AVA) como a principal causa de fratura facial (65%). Estudos subseqüentes apoiaram esta informação 4,5 , mas a tendência dos estudos mais atuais é mostrar um aumento na incidência de VI e sugerem que esta seja a principal etiologia nos traumas de face 6,7 .…”

“…The force of impact can be derived from the equation F = ma (Force = mass 9 acceleration), in which if the head mass is 15 pounds and the Fig. 1 Classification of the facial bones into degree of resistance to impact [7] acceleration is 80 g (easily obtainable in a 30 mph collision), the force on the face would be 1200 pounds, which exceeds the fracture limit of most of facial bones. According to geometry of face, protruding areas are most likely to sustain injury; thus the nasal bones are most commonly injured, followed by malar bones, orbital rims, and symphysis of the mandible.…”
