“…It is important to note that in some countries, over the years, there have been changes in the etiology of facial trauma, with interpersonal violence becoming the leader of the statistics ( 23 ). This has been attributed to traffic local legislations, which aim mainly to control speed and alcohol ingestion, ordering the use of seatbelts and crash helmets, the safer design and use of roads and vehicles ( 17 ).…”

BackgroundTo investigate the occupational profile, educational level, marital status and deleterious habits to the health of patients with maxillofacial fractures of a population of northeastern Brazil.Material and MethodsA retrospective study of patients records admitted to the Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the Walter Cantídio University Hospital (Fortaleza, Brazil) who sustained maxillofacial fractures was conducted in the period between 2006 and 2015.ResultsA total of 338 patients rendered 355 fractures. Males were the most affected (p<0.001), with prevalence in the third decade of life (p<0.001). There was a predominance of motorcycle accidents (p<0.001), home workers (p<0.001), low educational status (p = 0.032), and no cigarette use (p<0.001) or alcohol (p = 0.023). Fractures of the zygomatic-orbital complex were the most prevalent in the sample (p<0.001).ConclusionsThe sociodemographic profile exerted a significant influence on the epidemiological profile of maxillofacial fractures in a Brazilian population during the study period. Key words:Epidemiological studies, trauma, facial bones.

“…These episodes are often associated with the consumption of alcohol. [6][7][8] Our study showed that the increase in presentation of facial injury (during devolution of social distancing) occurred in twice as many males as females, with half of these aged between 11 and 40 years. Although small in number, there were demonstrable increases in presentations due to interpersonal violence, motor vehicle accidents, and sporting activities.…”

The imposition of COVID-19 social distancing laws serendipitously decreased the frequency and altered the characteristics of facial injury presentation. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the devolution of social distancing laws had the opposite effect. Materials and methods: The authors undertook a retrospective study of the clinical records of a cohort of patients who sustained a facial injury during COVID-19 social distancing devolution. The primary predictor valuable was the 8 week devolution of social distancing. Other variables consisted of a heterogeneous set of factors grouped into logical categories: demographic, injury specifics, and treatment. A descriptive statistical analysis was undertaken on the assembled results. Results: The study found that the absolute numbers of facial injury presentation rose from 73 to 120; a 64% increase. The study also found that there was an alteration to the characteristics of facial injury presentation across the study variables. Conclusion: The initial imposition and subsequent devolution of COVID-19 social distancing measures had a serendipitous public health benefit. Initially there was a decrease in the frequency of facial injury presentation followed by an increase upon cessation of social distancing restrictions

“…However, in underdeveloped countries, traffic injuries are more frequent due to the use of alcohol, not using seatbelts and driving without a license. 17 Important precautions that can be taken include increasing the number of pedestrian underpasses and overpasses, educating pedestrians about safe road crossing, increasing both pedestrian and motorist awareness and reducing drink-driving habits.…”
