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.

“…7,16,17,19,20 Esta vulnerabilidad de la mandíbula probablemente se deba a que se trata de un hueso móvil y por tanto con menor soporte óseo cuando comparado con los huesos del tercio medio facial. 12,21 Los datos obtenidos en este estudio también confirman este padrón, reportándose a la De otro lado, el tercio medio facial es el área más protegida en niños debido a su posición retraída en relación a un cráneo prominente que, juntamente a la mandíbula, provén protección y absorben la mayoría de los impactos traumáticos 6,20 . Debido a estos factores, las fracturas de tercio medio son aún más raras en niños, variando su incidencia de 0.5 % a 25 %.…”

El objetivo de este estudio fue realizar un análisis retrospectivo de la incidencia, características, uso de dispositivos de seguridad, tratamiento y complicaciones de los traumatismos maxilofaciales causados por accidentes ciclísticos en una población pediátrica adolescente del Estado de São Paulo. La muestra fue seleccionada a partir del análisis de 2986 historias clínicas de pacientes víctimas de traumatismos faciales atendidos entre 1999 y 2008 por el Área de Cirugía Buco Máxilo Facial de la Facultad de Odontología de Piracicaba, Universidad Estatal de Campinas, Estado de São Paulo-Brasil. Durante este periodo, 757 pacientes menores de 18 años fueron atendidos, de los cuales, 220 fueron víctimas de accidentes ciclísticos. Se concluyó que los accidentes ciclísticos representaron la principal etiología del trauma maxilofacial, siendo el género masculino predominante en todos los grupos etarios evaluados. Las fracturas mandibulares fueron las más prevalentes y la gran mayoría de pacientes no usaba ningún tipo de dispositivo de seguridad al momento del accidente.

“…Rowe's 1969 stated 1% occurred in patients younger than 5 years [2]. Thoren 1992 described that only 1 to 2% mandibular fractures occur in patients younger than 6 years [3]. Some authors reported an equal distribution between the gender and others describe 2:1 male predominance for pediatric mandibular fractures [1,[4][5][6].…”

Mandibular fractures in the pediatric population are uncommon. The conservative treatment is in most cases advocated before the use of internal rigid fixation because they have a negative effect on skeletal growth and unerupted teeth. This paper presents two groups, group A treated by fenestrated acrylic splintand group B treated by modified oropharyngeal airway tube to be used as a splint,both are constructed on the mandibular stone casts and fixed in place with circummandibular wires. Data was collected and analysed to compare between the two types of splints. The fenestrated splint showed better results than the modified airway tube.
