Maxillofacial injuries and dental trauma in patients aged 19-80 years, Recife, Brazil

Epidemiological aspects of dental trauma associated with maxillofacial injures: Ten years of clinical experience in Trieste, Italy

“…The maxilla had the most injured teeth (103, 71%) and maxillary central incisors (50, 34.5%) were the most affected. Many other studies have shown similar findings 1,2,7–9,12,19,23 . This also corresponds with the studies that have analyzed dental trauma only, without the association with facial fractures, where the maxillary anterior segment is the most affected 1,24 .…”

“…Many other studies have shown similar findings. 1,2,[7][8][9]12,19,23 This also corresponds with the studies that have analyzed dental trauma only, without the association with facial fractures, where the maxillary anterior segment is the most affected. 1,24 Only the study by Iso-Kungas et al found a similar number of teeth involved between the mandible and maxilla.…”

“…The most frequent cause of dental injury in association with maxillofacial trauma was road traffic accidents ( n = 23, 42%) according to several studies 5,19,20 . Furthermore, Subhashraj et al stated that road traffic accidents are the most frequent cause of dental trauma in the age group between 21 and 40 years 20 .…”

“…[8][9][10]18 The most frequent cause of dental injury in association with maxillofacial trauma was road traffic accidents (n = 23, 42%) according to several studies. 5,19,20 Furthermore, Subhashraj et al stated that road traffic accidents are the most frequent cause of dental trauma in the age group between 21 and 40 years. 20 These reports confirm that road accidents provoke a high-intensity impact causing an increased incidence of dental trauma compared to accidents at work or sports accidents, in which the intensity of the impact is lower.…”

Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of the Pattern, Distribution, Etiology, and Treatment of Maxillofacial Injuries From Different Geopolitical Zones in Nigeria

“…47,49,53 Attributable reasons were that the shape and mobility of the mandible favored its predilection to fracture during trauma; it had inadequate support from facial buttresses as compared with the maxilla and upper third of the face and its exposed position. 54 In other reports, the midface consisting of the maxilla and the zygomatic complex is reported as the most fractured bone in the maxillofacial region. 55,56 Cavalcanti et al 54 reported that the mandible and maxilla were most common sites.…”
