“…These findings corroborate most studies related to interpersonal violence, which show higher prevalence among men [21][22][23]. Most individuals live in the urban area, but the proportion of maxillofacial trauma was higher among those living in the suburban area.…”

Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of maxillofacial trauma resulting from physical violence against older adults, describe patterns and identify factors associated with its occurrence. Material and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted from the assessment of 7,132 reports of victims of violence who sought a Brazilian Service of Forensic Medicine and Dentistry, during the period from January 2008 to December 2011. Descriptive statistics, Pearson's chi-test square test and Poisson's univariate and multivariate regression (with robust variance) were performed using SPSS software version 20.0. The significance level was set at p <0.05. Results: A total of 259 older adults suffered physical violence. The occurrence of maxillofacial trauma was observed in 42.9% of the sample. Lesions in soft tissue (90.1%) affecting more than one region of the face (40.4%) were the most frequent. The prevalence of maxillofacial trauma was more frequent among individuals older than 66 years (PR = 1.166; 95% CI = 0.865-1.572), males (PR = 1.119; 95% CI = 0.807-1.550), victims of violence occurred within the community (PR = 1.431; 95% CI = 0.951-2.153), during the night shift (PR = 1.226; 95% CI = 0.911-1.651) and weekends (PR = 1.279; 95% CI = 0.955-1.714) performed without using blunt instrument (PR = 1.311; 95% CI = 0.932-1.846). Conclusion: The prevalence of maxillofacial trauma resulting from physical violence against older adults was high and soft tissue lesions affecting more than one face region were predominant.

“…1,4,8,9,[15][16][17][18][19] Diante dos achados aqui apresentados, supõe-se que esta diferença esteja associada às características da violência mais prevalente nos municípios. Os municípios maiores apresentam mais casos de violência interpessoal nas formas criminais e deliquenciais, que atingem mais vítimas do sexo masculino, e que são menos frequentes nas regiões interioranas, onde são encontrados mais casos de violência intrafamiliar, doméstica e de gênero, fenômenos sociais de caráter histórico abrangente não exclusivo das grandes cidades.…”

“…16 Other authors such as Bouguila, Sakr and Anyanechi found that the most frequent location was the mandibular angle with respective rates of 24.4%, 22% and 31.3%. 4,11,19 Indeed, according to Krimmel and Fuselier the probability of having an angle fracture increases in the presence of an impacted or impacted wisdom tooth. 20,21 Unifocal fractures were the most common with 77.3%.…”

The objective was to study the epidemiological, clinical and radiological aspects of patients with mandibular fractures in the odontostomatology department at the General hospital Idrissa Pouye in Senegal. This was a retrospective study of the records of patients who came for a mandibular fracture during the period from February 2007 to June 2019 to the odontostomatology department of the General hospital Idrissa Pouye in Dakar. The inclusion criterion was any patient file containing complete information and presenting a mandibular fracture received in the odontostomatology department. We used sociodemographic, clinical and radiographic variables. Of 128 patients who came for consultation with a mandibular fracture, 115 were male and 13 were female. The age group most affected was between 21 and 30 years. Workers (25.2%), pupils and students (25.2%) were the most represented. The most frequent cause of mandibular fractures was road traffic accidents (36.71%). In 41% of the road accidents, Jakarta mopeds were involved. The diagnosis was confirmed by radiological examination, which consisted of an orthopantomogram in 83.5% of cases. The mandibular symphysis was the most frequent location with 40.3% of fracture sites. Total continuity of the lines was observed in 21.9% of cases.
