Facial traumas often occur as a result of accidents or injuries at workplace, aggression or accidental falling. Their assessment is made by means of Multislice Computed Tomography (CT) due to its high resolution, providing precise information on fracture routes, bone displacement, soft tissue injuries as well as the traumatic complications in the maxillofacial area.Material and Methods: We exam...

Maxillofacial skeletal injuries account for a large proportion of emergency department visits and often result in surgical consultation. Although many of the principles of detection and repair are basic, the evolution of technology and therapeutic strategies has led to improved patient outcomes. This article aims to provide a review of the imaging aspects involved in maxillofacial trauma and to...

BACKGROUND Maxillofacial injuries occur in a significant number of trauma patients. Epidemiological assessments are essential to reaffirm patterns, identify new trends and develop clinical and research priorities for effective treatment and prevention of these injuries. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to identify the epidemiological profile and risk factors associated with maxillofacial t...

Adults presenting to oral and maxillofacial surgery services are at high risk of psychological morbidity. Research by the Institute of Psychotrauma and the centre for oral and maxillofacial surgery trauma clinic at the Royal London hospital (2015) demonstrated nearly 40% of patients met diagnostic criteria for either depression, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, alcohol misuse, or...

Background: We undertook a review of the literature to assess role temporomandibular joint (TMJ) replacement (TMJR) in maxillofacial trauma and examined our own experience bony complications.

INTRODUCTION The incidence and epidemiological causes of maxillofacial (MF) trauma varies widely. The objective of this study is to point out maxillofacial trauma patients' epidemiological properties and trauma patterns with simultaneous injuries in different areas of the body that may help emergency physicians to deliver more accurate diagnosis and decisions. METHODS In this study we analyze...

By analyzing sports-related maxillofacial fractures, we sought to describe preventive measures and recovery times until sporting activities could be resumed. Between January 2001 and December 2006, 1241 patients were hospitalized as a result of maxillofacial fractures. The patients with sports-related maxillofacial fractures were analyzed based on age, sex, type of sport, injury mechanism, trau...
