“…Seventy eight patients (18%) were treated conservatively, thirty three patients (8%) left against medical advice that would refer to seek treatment in private clinic or to another country, and seventeen patients (4%) were managed by intermaxillary fi xation, shown in Figure 8. The study of maxillofacial fractures has been reported in literature and they differ from country to country and the statistics is clear that some of the inconsistencies can be attributed by social, cultural, and environmental factors [2][3][4].…”

A maxillofacial fracture is a serious clinical problem because of its functional and aesthetic signifi cance. If these injuries are treated improperly may ultimately result in a patient's low quality of life. Diagnosis and treatment of these fractures remain a challenge for oral and maxillofacial surgeons, demanding a high level of profi ciency. Result: Total of 437 patients obtained 752 maxillofacial fractures. Male were mostly affected comprising 83%, with the majority occurring in individuals 21-30 year age range. Road traffi c accident was the most common cause of maxillofacial fractures with a total of 63.84%. Mandible fracture was mostly affected consisting 59.18% of all maxillofacial fractures. The most fractured anatomical part of the mandible is parasymphysis containing 23% of all mandible fractures. Open reduction and internal fi xation was the most common treatment modality. Thirteen percent of patients had associated injuries, and four percent had complications. Conclusion:According to the World Health Organization established in May 2014, Libya is the leading country of traffi c deaths per capita. This retrospective study of maxillofacial fracture is congruent to the research that road traffi c accident in the country was the most common incident. It is capturing to both government offi cials to implement legislation and healthcare providers to develop programs to educate the public and reduce such injuries.

Résumé -Introduction : L'objectif de cette étude est d'analyser les caractéristiques épidémiologiques des fractures dento-maxillo-faciales à Antanarivo (Madagascar). Méthodologie : Il s'agit d'une étude rétrospective de janvier 2003 à août 2012. Les dossiers retenus relatent des traumatismes dento-maxillo-faciaux chez des patients admis au centre hospitalier de Soavinandriana (CENHOSOA) Antananarivo. Résultats : Sur les 166 dossiers colligés, le sexe masculin prédominait (83,1 %) et l'âge le plus prévalent se situait entre 26 et 35 ans. Les causes les plus fréquentes ont été les accidents de la voie publique (34,9 %) et les agressions (32,5 %). Les fractures mandibulaires et les fractures zygomato-malaires ont été les plus nombreuses, avec une fréquence identique de 25,3 %. La fréquence des fractures alvéolo-dentaires était de 10,8 %. Discussion : Nos résultats corroboraient ceux de la littérature. Le patient type est un adulte jeune de sexe masculin. Cette caractéristique est surtout associée aux accidents de la voie publique et aux agressions. Les structures osseuses en relief de la face sont les plus fréquemment atteintes car ce sont les plus exposées. Les traumatismes surviennent notamment pendant les weekends ou les vacances. La notion d'alcool est souvent évoquée mais, dans notre étude, elle n'a été incriminée que dans 12,7 % des cas.Abstract -Epidemiology of dental and maxillofacial trauma in CENHOSOA, Antananarivo.
