“…According to the time in which injuries occurred, higher frequency in the evening was observed. This result agrees with previous findings [13] but differs from Cavalcanti [30], who found that most cases of violence occurred in the morning shift. In the morning and afternoon shifts, children and adolescents are generally involved in educational and recreational activities, being inaccessible to aggressors.…”

“…The literature has shown that the prevalence of maxillofacial trauma, resulting from interpersonal violence situations, is high [9,10], and that these occurrences are one of the main etiological factors of injuries and fractures in the facial region [11,12]. Head and face are sites commonly involved in cases of traumatic injury, and may or may not be associated with injuries in the other areas of the body, as the violence perpetrator seeks to intimidate and disqualify the victim's identity [13].…”

To identify the prevalence of maxillofacial injuries resulting from interpersonal violence in Brazilian children and adolescents. Material and Methods: This is a retrospective study conducted at a Center of Forensic Medicine and Forensic Dentistry with a sample of 335 medical reports of victims aged up to 19 years. Variables involved sex and age group, perpetrator, occurrence of the event, characterization of injuries, presence of maxillofacial injuries, type of tissue involvement, and injuries in the oral cavity. Data were analyzed using descriptive, and the Chi-square was used for categorical data. Results: Most victims were female (60.3%) and aged 15-19 years (57.6%). Aggressions occurred at home (50.6%), in the evening (39.5%) and involved perpetrators known to the victim (91.5%). Most victims had multiple injuries (75.8%), involving up to three regions of the body (93.4%). Injuries with blunt objects were the most frequent (86.2%). The prevalence of maxillofacial injuries was 36.7%, with low involvement of the oral cavity (8.4%). A significant association between the presence of injuries on the face and variables "perpetrator" (p=0.015) and "number of injuries" (p=0.006) was observed. Conclusion: Female adolescents were the main victims of physical violence, with repercussions in different regions of the body. The prevalence of maxillofacial injuries was high, although with little involvement of oral cavity structures.

“…Studies have shown that there is a tendency of relation with the etiological agent, whereby males are more commonly affected in cases of traffic accidents and interpersonal violence ( 12 - 14 ). This can be explained by the fact that men participate more actively in social activities and, consequently, they are more susceptible to traffic accidents, work-related accidents, interpersonal violence, and sports-related injuries ( 13 ). Women have a higher prevalence of facial injuries when involved with domestic violence ( 10 , 12 - 15 ), in which their aggressors are most commonly their intimate partners ( 15 - 17 ).…”

“…Caldas et al ( 16 ) showed that punches, kicks, shoves and slaps were most often used to assault the victims. The use of firearms and other weapons is unusual; however these cases can be interpreted as a clear attempt to kill the victim, considering the potential lethality and destructive power of the used instrument of aggression ( 13 , 23 ).…”

Background Trauma due to external causes represents one of the greatest challenges for public health services in different regions around the world. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of facial trauma, associated risk factors, and classification of body injuries in individuals who underwent forensic examination in a Brazilian center. Material and Methods Data were collected at the Ceará State Forensic Medicine unit in a 12-year period. Sociodemographic data related to the etiological agent and lesions resulting from the bodily injury were recorded. Results Among 1,031 physical injury exams, physical aggression ( p <0.001), male victims aged between 21 and 30 years ( p <0.001), salaried workers ( p <0.001), and soft tissue and dentoalveolar injuries were significant findings. Regarding aggression, domestic violence was prevalent ( p <0.001), perpetrated by the victim’s partner ( p <0.001), using a blunt instrument during the aggression ( p <0.001), and directly associated with soft tissue injury ( p <0.001). In traffic accidents, the most common type was motorcycle accident ( p <0.001), on weekdays ( p =0.036), at nighttime ( p =0.134), showing a significant association with bone fractures ( p =0.001). Conclusions Oral and maxillofacial injuries obtained from a Brazilian forensic science center were significantly associated with sociodemographic and etiological factors. Key words: Forensic dentistry, facial trauma, violence, public health.

“…Dos tipos de violência, a agressão física parece ser a mais comum e tem sido reportado um aumento significativo da prevalência de traumatismos faciais resultantes de violência interpessoal, podendo ser superior a 50%. Nesse sentido, reconhecer as populações mais vulneráveis, avaliar as necessidades dos serviços de saúde, desenvolver programas destinados ao enfrentamento da violência e delinear protocolos clínicos para o tratamento dos traumas faciais torna-se crucial e depende diretamente da compreensão dos fatores contextuais e situacionais vivenciados pelas diferentes regiões (Sadkki, et al, 2010;Silva, et al, 2014;Ferreira, et al, 2014). Oliveira, et al (2008) bem como Dahlberg & Kurg (2006), ratificam em seus estudos que a violência está entre as principais causas de invalidez e de morte no mundo, especialmente em pessoas entre 15 e 44 anos de idade.…”

Introdução: Os traumas faciais correspondem a todas as lesões de origem traumática que afetam a massa facial, e geralmente estão relacionados a elevadas taxas de morbidade, perda de função e a altos custos estético e social. Objetivo: compreender os traumatismos faciais ocasionados por agressões físicas e quais suas implicações na vida do atingido. Métodos: Estudo exploratório e descritivo a partir de uma revisão bibliográfica com base nos últimos 25 anos em estudos disponíveis online (PubMed, MEDLINE, SciELO e LILACS). Foram utilizados os descritores em inglês: Facial injuries, Violence, Aggression e Dentistry, onde foram encontrados um total de 247 estudos, destes, 36 compuseram a presente pesquisa. Resultados: Os traumatismos faciais estão entre os diagnósticos mais frequentes num pronto-socorro geral, com isso, têm se tornado assunto inevitável para os profissionais de saúde. Seu aumento nas últimas décadas é resultado do crescimento da violência nas cidades. Dos tipos de violência, a agressão física parece ser a causa mais comum e tem sido reportado um aumento significativo da prevalência de traumatismos faciais resultantes de violência interpessoal (podendo ser superior a 50%). Conclusão: As complicações dos traumas faciais são complexas, podendo comprometer as integridades física, estética e psicológica do atingido. É necessário um maior interesse das políticas públicas no tratante a criação de mais hospitais de traumas e de programas sociais para a redução dos índices que vêm aumentando consideravelmente.
