“…This finding is consistent with reports by Obuekwe ON et al 23 Studies published by Lee KH et al 27 , Snape L et al 28 and O Meara C et al 29 have also found the interpersonal violence to be a major cause of maxillofacial trauma when alcohol is involved. However, in our study RTA was the major cause of maxillofacial trauma.…”

“…In the literature, the majority of alcohol-related facial fractures were because of interpersonal violence, with young men in the 15 to 29 year age group predominantly affected. 5,9 With regards to smoking tobacco, although this may not be related to the significant change in behavior, an association of its consumption with the use of alcohol and illicit drugs was confirmed, with a statistically significant difference.…”

“…This fact may be related to the neurophysiological effects of alcohol and drugs, which lead people to feel less fearful and worried about the legal, physical, or social consequences of their actions. 4,9 With regards to traffic accidents, there is substantial evidence that alcohol impairs motor coordination and decision making in drivers, thus enhancing risk-taking behavior and the likelihood of accidents. 10 The areas affected by fracture did not differ among drug users and nonusers.…”

The aim of the current study was to identify and compare the characteristics of maxillofacial trauma in alcohol and drug users with those of nonusers. A retrospective study was conducted using the medical records of patients treated for facial trauma between April 1999 and March 2012 at the Maxillofacial Surgery Division of the Piracicaba Dental School. The data were analyzed by descriptive analysis, binary logistic regression, and correlational analysis using SPSS 18.0 software. The results were considered relevant at P < 0.05. Medical records of 3724 patients with facial trauma were analyzed, of which 173 were illicit drug users and 19.36% reported alcohol intake. The use of illicit drugs was reported by 4.64%. The prevalent etiological factor among drug and alcohol users was interpersonal violence. The mandible was the face part most affected by fractures. Male patients exhibited increased odds of experiencing fractures (OR = 1.43), as did users of illicit drugs (OR = 1.62), when compared with nonusers. When faced with maxillofacial trauma, male drug users exhibited an increased chance of experiencing fractures. This knowledge should be used as a baseline to implement more efficient prevention strategies for this population.

“…The New Zealand Health and Medical Research Council found that consuming four or more drinks doubles the relative risk of sustaining an injury in the following 6 h . Further, more than half of all facial fractures have been demonstrated to be sustained following alcohol consumption …”
