“…Regarding the seasonal distribution, the results showed that most of the cases occurred in the fall (n=89; 25.8%), winter and spring (n=77; 22.2% each). Scartezini et al 4 studied the prevalence of oral maxillofacial injuries in patients treated at the Hospital for urgencies of Aparecida de Goiânia. The authors observed high number of traumas in the fall (38.0%) and summer (34.0%).…”

“…It is prudent to highlight that Brazil is a tropical country, where drastic changes of temperature are not observed, in most regions, during the year. This means that all four seasons of the year are not well defined, therefore, the establishment of comparisons among studies conducted in different geographical areas of Brazil and among studies conducted in other countries should be established with care 4 .…”

“…Furthermore, the quality of the information depends on the accuracy with which the initial examination is performed, and the correct filling out of the clinical records. Thus, when some examination or information may no longer be raised during the anamnesis or are not recorded in the medical records, the final result of this study is affected 4 .…”

“…These values reflect important cultural differences that include the environment and the population behavior, or reflect the different methodologies employed in the data collection from each study 29.30 . In the Central-west region only the studies of Leles et al 31 , Pereira et al 32 and scartezini et al 4 were identified.…”

“…Fractures involving the maxillofacial complex represents one of the main public health problems in the world [1][2][3][4] . Several studies have reported a considerable increase in the incidence of these injuries, mainly in areas of high social deprivation [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] , with significant impact on individuals and society.…”

Avaliou-se os aspectos epidemiológicos das fraturas oralmaxilofaciais em prontuários de pacientes atendidos em um Hospital Universitário do Brasil central. A amostra do estudo foi proveniente da revisão de prontuários de 346 pacientes atendidos no Serviço de Cirurgia e Traumatologia Oralmaxilofacial do Hospital Geral Universitário na cidade de Cuiabá, Mato Grosso, Brasil. Os seguintes dados foram coletados dos registros hospitalares de cada paciente: sexo, idade, fator etiológico, região anatômica afetada, procedência, distribuição sazonal e período de internação. O tratamento estatístico analisou os dados frente à distribuição de frequência e qui-quadrado. O nível de significância foi de p<0,05. Observou-se elevada frequência de fraturas oralmaxilofaciais em indivíduos do sexo masculino (n=290; 83,8%), com idade variando entre 21-30 anos (n=120; 34,5%) e provenientes de cidades do interior do estado do Mato Grosso (n=169; 48,8%). Os principais fatores etiológicos foram os acidentes de trânsito motorizados (n=169; 48,9%), violência (n=65; 18,8%) e quedas (n=25; 7,2%). A distribuição sazonal evidenciou elevado número de lesões no outono (n=89; 25,8%), inverno e primavera (n=77; 22,2%, cada um). O terço inferior da face foi a região mais comumente envolvida (n=276; 54,3%). A injúria mais comum foi a fratura do complexo zigomático (n=146; 28,7%), seguida da fratura do corpo da mandíbula (n=99; 19,4%). Os dados obtidos se assemelham aos encontrados na literatura, no que diz respeito à prevalência do sexo masculino, da faixa etária e dos acidentes de trânsito como principal agente etiológico.Palavras-chave: Traumatismod Dentários.

AbstractThe objective of this study was to evaluate epidemiological aspects of maxillofacial fractures in 346 hospitalized patients treated at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of the University General Hospital, Mato Grosso, Brazil. The following information was collected from the patients’ medical records: gender, age, etiologic factor, type of injury, patient origin, seasonal distribution and hospital stay period. The statistical treatment analyzed data from frequency distribution and chi-squared test. The level of significance was set at 5% for all analyses. The highest incidence of maxillofacial fractures was found among males (n=290; 83.8%), with 21-30 years-old (n=120; 34.5%) and from inner cities of Mato Grosso (n=169; 48.9%). The main etiologic factor were vehicle traffic accidents (n=169; 48.9%), violence (n=65; 18.8%) and falls (n=25; 7.2%). The seasonal distribution showed that most of the cases occurred in the fall (n=89; 25.8%), winter and spring (n=77; 22.2% each). The lower third of the face was the most commonly involved region (n=276; 54.3%). The most frequently observed fracture involved the zygomatic complex (n=146; 28.7%), followed by the mandible body (n=99; 19.4%). The epidemiological aspects of maxillofacial fractures in this study were similar to those observed in other studies, regarding the prevalence of the male, age group and traffic accidents as the main etiological factor.Keywords: Tooth Injuries.

Oral and maxillofacial injuries often result in fractures tofacial bones. The treatment of facial fractures involves the use of plates and screws for internal fixation. This study was aimedatanalyzing the surface morphology and chemical constitution of internal fixation materials used to treatfacial fractures through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. Twenty-seven plates and 21 screws were distributed in six experimental groups: Group 1-Toride ® ; Group 2-Engimplan ® ; Group 3-MDT ® ; Group 4-Promm ® ; Group 5-Osteomed ® andGroup 6-Stryker ® . The samples underwent SEM, andthe external surface morphology was analyzed qualitatively in images obtained with a magnification of 30-1000X. The surface was described according to its regularity (regular or irregular) and concerning the presence of defects (scratches, corrosion, metal fragments, metal deformation or protuberance [burrs]). Constitutive analysis was made through EDX. The chemical elements were quantified and presented asatomic weight percentages (%p). All the plates presented external surfaces with irregular aspects. Defects were not observed only in Osteomed ® and Stryker ® plates. The main components found in the plates were titanium (Ti), silicon (Si) and aluminum (Al). The element phosphorous (P) was found only in Stryker ® plates. The screws presented regular surfaces and defects onthe head and threads. Most of the screws presented Ti and Al peaks. Traces of vanadium (V) were identified in the Stryker ® and Toride ® screws. The Promm ® screws were made of Ti. The analyzed plates and screws presented surfaces with different aspects and defects. Some of the chemical elements found in the plates and screws were not described by their manufactures.
