“…[6][7][8][9][10][11] Falls are ranked second, followed by urban violence and the practice of radical sports. 12,13 Craniofacial trauma in children and adolescents represents a small sample when compared to the adult population, ranging from 1% to 14% in those under 16 years of age, and 0.87% to 1% in children under the age of 5 years. 14 However, these data maintain cause for concern owing to the sequelae resulting from these injuries, which are frequently severe, generating some form of functional incapacity and subsequently a negative impact on the life of the victims.…”

“…Con respecto al tipo de lesión, las fracturas y lesiones contusas, fueron las observadas con mayor recurrencia, coincidentes a lo observado previamente por Teshome et al y Yoma & Zúñiga, respectivamente. Existe discrepancia entre la ubicación más repetitiva de las injurias, según Bonavolontà et al la localización más frecuente es en mandíbula; por el contrario, otros estudios indican que la ubicación con mayor frecuencia es en maxilar (Bregagnolo et al;González et al, 2015).…”

Lesiones que según la literatura son causadas principalmente por accidentes de tránsito, violencia interpersonal y deportes de contacto (DeAngelis et al, 2014).…”

“…Introdução A violência destaca-se mundialmente pelo impacto e ameaça à vida e integridade humanas; tem merecido lugar de destaque entre as preocupações cotidianas, gerando políticas governamentais em diversos países do mundo. Para a Organização Pan-Americana de Saúde, a violência apresenta caráter endêmico e se converteu em um problema de saúde pública, devido ao número de vítimas e à magnitude de sequelas orgânicas e emocionais que produz 1,2 Agressões e acidentes são responsáveis por cerca de 5 milhões de mortes por ano no mundo 3 . A violência é considerada um grave problema de saúde pública no Brasil, constituindo-se principal causa de morte de crianças e adolescentes na faixa etária de cinco a dezenove anos e a segunda causa de morte na faixa etária de um a quatro anos 4,5 .…”
