“…The preponderance of males in the age group of 10-15 years is consistent with the findings of previous studies [5,6,8]. Previous published work showed lower incidence rate of maxillofacial fractures in females, with male-to-female ratios ranging from 2:1 to 6:1 [13,15,17].…”

“…Different studies on the incidence and etiology of maxillofacial fractures tend to vary from one country to another, perhaps because of the differences in social, cultural, and environmental factors [3][4][5][6]. The incidence of craniofacial trauma is higher in children than in adults; however the incidence of maxillofacial fractures is lower accounting for the 8-11 % of all pediatric facial injuries [21].…”

“…The etiology of maxillofacial fractures differs from one country to another because of social, cultural and environmental factors [3][4][5][6] The greatest incidence of trauma to the primary dentition occurs at 2-3 years of age, when motor coordination is developing. The most common injuries to permanent teeth occur secondary to falls, followed by traffic accidents, violence, and sports.…”

The aim of this study was to review the pattern and prevalence of maxillofacial fractures occurring in rural children, at Rural Dental College and Hospital, Loni, Central Maharashtra, India. A retrospective analysis of patient records and radiographs was conducted during the 5 year period between January 2005 and December 2010. Data were identified and analysed based on age group, gender and anatomic site. During the 5 year period, 156 patients with 163 maxillofacial fractures were reviewed, males formed 70 % and females formed 30 % of studied population with the peak incidence rate occurring in 10-12-year old age group. The most common fracture site in maxilla was dentoalveolar component (70 %) and in mandible common fracture site was condyle (40.9 %). Of the fractures, 43 % were from accidental fall, 24.3 % from assaults, 16 % from road traffic accidents, 13.5 % from sporting injuries and 3.2 % from other causes such as animal injuries. Our results exhibit that accidental falls were the leading cause of maxillofacial fractures, and males were three times more affected than females. There is variation of incidence and pattern of maxillofacial injuries from region to region.

“…The relationship between use of seat belts and the incidence of mid facial injuries requires further study. There are general indications that interpersonal violence is the leading cause of maxillofacial injuries in developed nations and that traffic accidents are the main cause of such injuries in developing countries [36][37][38][39][40]. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), road traffic injuries are the sixth leading cause of death in India with a greater share of hospitalization, deaths, disabilities and socioeconomic losses in the young and middle-aged population [40].…”

“…Road traffic injuries also place a huge burden on the health sector in terms of pre-hospital and acute care and rehabilitation [41]. Hill et al [37] and Voss [38] reported assault as the predominant cause of craniomaxillofacial fractures in England and Norway, respectively. The 9.5 % incidence of craniomaxillofacial bone fractures in our study caused by assault contrast vividly with the figure of 55 % reported from Scotland [31], a finding that may be related to differences in social customs and alcohol intake.…”

Aim The present study was planned to investigate the etiology of injuries and to analyze correlation between clinical and radiological findings in cases of craniomaxillofacial trauma. Study Design An 18 months cross-sectional study was done and 325 patients with maxillofacial fractures were analyzed from January 2013 to June 2014 who reported to the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery, Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh. Data was recorded in a preformed case sheet which included: patient's demographic data, cause of injury, type of injury, treatment plan. Results Out of the 325 patients, 74.4 % were males with a male: female ratio of 2.91:1. The 21-30 year age group was found to be maximum. Road traffic accidents accounted for 71.3 %, followed by fall from height (19 %) and assault (9.5 %). Most commonly involved vehicles were two wheelers followed by public transport. Mandibular fractures (65 %) were most prevalent, followed by zygomaticomaxillary complex (44.27 %), parietal bone (48 %) and orbital fractures (21.3 %). Thirtyseven fractures (7.14 %) were missed clinically which were confirmed later by radiographic technique. Maximum were in cranium region (57 %) followed by mandible (27 %), mid face region (16.21 %). Thirty-three fractures (6.37 %) were overestimated or suspected clinically which could not be confirmed by radiographic technique. Maximum were in mandible (48.5 %) followed by mid face (36.33 %) and cranium (15.15 %). Conclusion The idea behind this article is to analyze the various trends and affecting factors and correlation between clinical and radiological findings. A better understanding of the above said would help in future treatment planning and management of facial injuries.
