“…Other conditions encountered are congenital malformations of the head and neck and infections. 1 Despite its importance in health planning, few reports on the worldwide pattern of oral and maxillofacial surgical diseases are available. In Nigeria, there are considerable data on specific surgical conditions such as facial fractures, [2][3][4] tumors [5][6][7] and other maxillofacial conditions.…”

“…According to Adekeye and Apapa, 22 facial deformity and drooling of saliva are significant complications of jaw and soft tissue resection in the maxillofacial region. In a later report on maxillofacial surgical procedures of different types, Ajike et al, 1 found that malocclusion (30%) and facial deformity (26%) were the more important. Our patients reported limited mouth opening (24%), stitch abscess (14%) and recurrence of lesion (14%) as significant complications.…”

Background:The worldwide pattern of oral and maxillofacial surgical conditions has been rarely reported despite its significance in head and neck medicine. The Niger Delta region comprises 9 of the 36 states in the Federal Republic of Nigeria. There are scanty reports on oral and maxillofacial surgical diseases from the region despite its 95% contribution to Nigeria's oil-revenue. Methods: This retrospective survey of oral/maxillofacial surgical cases seen at a referral center in Port Harcourt, a city in the Niger delta region of Nigeria. Results: Between 2000 and 2004, our center offered specialized maxillofacial surgical services to 86 patients coming from 5 states in the Niger delta region. These patients made up 20% of all patients seen at the department within the period. There were 110 indications for surgical interventions. Most were complaints of trauma (46.4%). The rest were tumors and allied lesions (39.0%) and cysts (12.7%). Ratio of male to female patients was 1.7:1 while patients were aged between 9 and 85years (mean 31.2years, standard deviation ±15.4). Most (n = 63, 73%) had surgical treatment while a significant proportion (19%) defaulted. Seventy -nine surgical procedures were performed (69 primary and 10 secondary). Primary procedures included maxillo-mandibular fixation (31.9%) and enucleation of tumor/cyst (17.4%). While our series of 86 cases over 4years appears low, there is likelihood that oral and maxillofacial surgical conditions are as common in the Niger Delta region as in other parts of Nigeria. There is scarcity of skilled manpower and equipments for the management of oral maxillofacial surgical conditions in the region. Health promotion activities are needed to improve awareness for early diagnosis of these conditions. Also, poverty alleviation measures need to be effective as defaults were often due to inability to pay for treatment. Conclusion: In many parts of the Niger Delta region of Nigeria, oral and maxillofacial surgical diseases are not uncommon causes of morbidity. However, many parts of the region lack requisite manpower for prevention and curative health activities. Defaults from hospital treatment were due to preference for traditional (unorthodox) measures and financial inability. Poverty alleviation measures need to be stepped up while the state of medical infrastructure should be enhanced in the region.

RESUMOObjeti vo: Revisar as característi cas das doenças orais e dentárias em crianças e adolescentes e analisar os serviços odontológicos realizados no Departamento de Cirurgiamaxilofacial do Hospital Escola Amino Kano, em Kano, Nigeria, em um período de dois anos. Método: Um estudo retrospecti vo foi realizado no período de julho de 2001 a junho de 2003 sendo analisadas várias doenças orais e dentárias. Results: Foram analisados 126 (58,1%) meninos e 91 (41,9%) meninas (proporção de 1,4:1) com idades entre 2 dias a 19 anos e média de idade de 3,9± 1,01 anos. A dor foi a queixa principal (51,6%). Outros moti vos para o atendimento foram traumati smo dentário e maxilar (n=26, 12%), sangramento e inchaço gengival (6,9%), desalinhamento dentário (6,9%), defeitos faciais (2,8%) e incapacidade de abrir a boca (2,8%). A cárie ainda permanece como a doença dentária mais comum em crianças e adolescentes (49,8%). Dos exames realizados, o radiográfi co (83,7%) foi o mais uti lizados. Vários procedimentos odontológicos foram realizados na população analisada. Conclusão: A dor foi a queixa mais comum na amostra analisada. Embora a cárie dentária permaneça como a doença mais prevalente, outras condições foram diagnosti cadas incluindo o desalinhamento dental, o qual requer os serviços de outros especialistas. As necessidades da população são determinadas por meio das informações obti das de estudos desta natureza, todavia, esforços devem ser implementados visando um melhor planejamento dos serviços odontológicos. Provisão de recursos sufi cientes e treinamento de pessoal odontológico para lidar com a necessidade da população em parti cular é, portanto, muito importante.Cárie dentária; Doenças bucais; Criança; Adolescente.
