“…Prevalence within female gender n (%) Total (%) The incidence of facial fractures tends to increase with age, [13][14][15] which was confirmed in the present study. A comparison of individuals under 13 years of age and other age groups revealed a considerable increase in the number of fractures of the mandible and zygomatic bone.…”

“…The lowest incidence rates of mandibular fractures were found among individuals who had suffered an automobile (23.7%) or a bicycle accident (14.9%). According to Muñante-Cárdenas et al, 13 the most common causes of mandibular fractures in children and adolescents are bicycle accidents and falls. However, in another study involving Brazilian subjects, soft tissue abrasions, hematomas and dentoalveolar traumas were more commonly associated with bicycle accidents.…”

The aim of the present study was to identify risk factors for facial fractures in patients treated in the emergency department of a hospital. The medical charts of 1121 patients treated in an emergency ward over a three-year period were analyzed. The independent variables were gender, age, place of residence (urban or rural area) and type of accident. The dependent variables were fractured mandible, zygoma, maxilla, nasal bone and more than one fractured facial bone. Statistical analysis was performed using the chi-square test (α < 0.05), univariate and multivariate Poisson distributions and the logistic regression analysis (p < 0.20). Maxillofacial trauma was recorded in 790 charts (70.5%), with 393 (35.1%) charts reporting facial fractures. Motorcycle accidents were found to be the main risk factor for mandibular fractures (PR = 1.576, CI = 1.402-1.772) and simultaneous fractures of more than one facial bone (OR = 4.625, CI = 1.888-11.329) as well as the only risk factor for maxillary bone fractures (OR = 11.032, CI = 5.294-22.989). Fractures of the zygomatic and nasal bones were mainly associated with accidents involving animals (PR = 1.206, CI = 1.104-1.317) and sports (OR = 8.710, CI = 4.006-18.936), respectively. The determinant for the majority of facial fractures was motorcycle accidents, followed by accidents involving animals and sports.

“…11,12 The leading causes of traumatic facial fractures in children include falls, [13][14][15] bicycle accidents, and road vehicle accidents. [16][17][18][19][20][21] In recently published investigations, these pediatric maxillofacial trauma studies are most limited to single institutional experiences. [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] The purpose of the present study was to analyze the etiology, incidence, and pattern of traumatic facial fractures in a pediatric and adolescent population ( 18 years old) who had been diagnosed at our university-affiliated hospitals in China.…”

This study showed a retrospective analysis of the incidence and pattern of traumatic facial fractures in a pediatric and adolescent population ( 18 years old) in China. The authors retrospectively reviewed 154 children and adolescent who had traumatic facial fractures and who were admitted to our university-affiliated hospitals from 2005 to 2010. This study enrolled 109 males and 45 females aged 11.9 AE 5.2 years old. The incidence peaked around the periods of 12 to 18 years in the male, 6 and 16 to 18 years in the female. The most common etiologies were motor vehicle collisions (MVCs) (60, 39.0%), followed by high fall (40, 26.0%), low fall (32, 20.8%). The most common fracture sites were mandible (78, 50.6%) and nose (33, 21.4%), followed by orbit (31, 20.1%). A total of 35 (22.7%) patients suffered neurological deficit. The patients in the 12 to 18 age range group accounted for the largest proportion of 54.5%. Fracture incidence showed peaks between the hours of 12:00 to 16:00 PM (33.7%), during the autumn season (30.5%) and on Friday to Sunday (50.0%). The most common etiology and fracture site were MVCs and mandible, respectively. Etiologies and patterns of traumatic facial fractures vary with age. Continued efforts toward injury prevention of traumatic facial fracture among the children and adolescents are warranted.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate both clinically and radiographically using of two microplates in treatment of displaced pediatric mandibular fractures.Materials & methods: This study included ten children had displaced mandibular fracture with age ranged between (4e11) years were treated using two microplates and microscrews through intraoral approach. All children were examined preoperative clinically and radiographically by panoramic view and computed tomography (CT) or lower occlusal view. All children were evaluated postoperative clinically at one week, one and three months for wound healing, occlusion, infection, nerve affection and stability of fracture and radiographically by panoramic view at second postoperative day, one and three months and by quantitative CT at one and three months to evaluate the accuracy of reduction and bone healing at fracture line. Results: Clinically there were no complications in all cases overall follow up period except for two cases showing occlusal discrepancy treated with guiding elastics. Radiographic results showed that good alignment of fracture segments horizontally and vertically without displacement and significant increase in bone mineral density gain after one and three months. Conclusion: Titanium microplates provide adequate stability for fracture segments in treatment of pediatric mandibular fracture. Low profile and malleability of microplates allow adaptation to mandible easily and minimize the possibility of trauma to teeth buds.
