“…Age is the most common factor in consideration to Fracture the age and the most common age group affected with a maxillofacial fracture is 31 to 40 years of age, that is the third decade of life with a population of 37.8%. According to the study conducted by Akhilanad C (Chaurasia and Katheriya, 2018;Swathy et al, 2015), Majority of the patients were between the age group of 18 to 35 years of age this correlates with our current study (Patrocínio et al, 2005;Kamulegeya et al, 2009). The reason behind that might be in this period of life, people were more engaged in a sporting, ights, violent activities, industry, and high-speed transportation and also there was an adrenaline rush which urged them to indulge in dangerous physical activities (Hannah et al, 2018;Jangid et al, 2015).…”

Fracture is defined as a break in continuity in the bone. The most common affected bone in the facial region is the mandible. injuries present as one of the most important health problems worldwide. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the spectrum of mandibular and maxillary practice among patients visiting dental hospital. The study was a retrospective study done under hospital setting. The population considered in this study was 64 individuals with fractures. This is an institutional retrospective study and data was collected from 86000 patients visiting Saveetha Dental College And Hospital, during the time period of June 2019 to March 2020 were reviewed and collected data were statistically with the help of SPSS by IBM and tables and graphs well plotted. This retrospective clinical study with the population of 64 patients reveals the increased prevalence fracture in males and that is found to be 62.8% and the most commonly affected age group is a third decade (32.8%). The most common site of fracture is mandible and the prevalence of mandibular fracture was found to be 64.1 percentage. Out of many causes of fracture, the most common factor is due to road traffic accidents and the prevalence was found to be 48.4%. There is a high prevalence of fracture in the population under study and males were the most commonly affected age group in the third decade and common is road traffic accidents in Chennai city, India.

“…Injuries of the maxillofacial complex represent one of the most important health problems worldwide. At present, in developing India, due to improper traf ic sense, maxillofacial trauma and fractures are most epidemiological diseases prevalent (Chaurasia and Katheriya, 2018;Sridharan et al, 2017).…”

“…The strenuous pace of modern life with high speed travel and increasingly violent society has made facial trauma, a form of social disease from which no one is immune. [ 1 ] The prevalence of maxillofacial injuries varies from 17% to 69%, and this large difference might be due to various environmental factors, socioeconomic conditions, cultural reasons, and traffic rules. [ 2 3 ] About 1.25 million people die each year as a result of road traffic accidents (RTAs)[ 4 5 6 ] out of which the frequency of all-terrain vehicle collisions and motor cycle accidents constitute about 32% with 8% of maxillofacial injuries, mean age being 31 years with more male victims over female.…”

Introduction: Increased facial trauma has led to advances in techniques of internal fixation, improvements in plating system, refinements in exposure of facial skeleton fueling the rapid use of internal fixation for the management of facial fractures. Evaluating 40 patients with confirmed midfacial (Le Fort I and II) and mandibular fractures, this study presents the efficacy of microplate in comparison with miniplate in terms of load bearing capacity, stability at the fracture site and postoperative palpability. Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of microplates in comparison with miniplates in maxillofacial trauma. Materials and Methods: Study sample consists 40 subjects, 20 each in two groups clinically and radiographically diagnosed with Group 1 (maxillary) and Group 2 (mandibular fractures) which were subdivided into 10 each treated with miniplate and microplate respectively. Postoperatively, stability of fracture, bite force, need for postop MMF, pain, infection, wound dehiscence, mouth opening, occlusion and palpability was noted. All cases have been evaluated clinically for various parameters for minimum of 3 months to assess any postoperative complications. Results: We found microplates are stable enough and have adequate load bearing capacity. Due to close adaptability and less hardware, postoperative palpability is less but larger sample study with long term follow up is necessary to conclude its efficacy in load bearing fracture sites.

“…Of course, the most important objects of study in performing such examinations are the victims (corpses or living persons). In general, these issues have been carefully studied by both domestic [11,22,23] and foreign authors [1,10,17,18,19,24,25]. Particular attention in cases of accidents was paid to comprehensive studies [1,3,4,5,7].…”

“…However, in the study of injuries in victims of traffic accidents traditionally paid attention primarily to damage to the lower extremities (due to the action of the car bumper), torso, skull bones and brain [5,6,10,15,17,19,26]. Therefore, accordingly, in the forensic literature there are very few works related to other injuries received by victims of traffic accidents, in particular, injuries of the dental apparatus [3,8,12,20,24,25,27]. Meanwhile, the assessment of such injuries by their severity is extremely important, especially in situations where injuries in victims are limited to damage to the bones of the facial skeleton [16,26].…”

Forensic medical evaluation of dental-jaw injuries in cases of traffic accidents

Information about the differential diagnosis of human bodily injuries, which were formed when the body, wheel and bottom of a modern car came into contact with the body of a pedestrian; a person on the road surface, in the cabin of a modern car (driver and passengers), when a cyclist comes into contact with a car, in cases of combined types of car injury, is not enough. The purpose of the study is to increase the objectivity of forensic examinations by determining the criteria for assessing damage to the dental system in cases of the most common types of accidents: collision of moving vehicle with man; run over the body with a wheels or the bottom of vehicle; at an injury inside the vehicle on the basis of the analysis of morphological features and the mechanism of the specified damages. The archival materials of 130 forensic medical examinations of the municipal institution “Odessa Regional Bureau of Forensic Medical Examination” concerning victims of living persons and corpses as a result of traffic accidents that were accompanied by their injuries in the period 2015-2020 were used. The following research methods were used: anthropometric, morphometric, photographic, radiological, statistical. The article presents our own experience of improving the objectivity and provability of forensic examinations by determining the criteria for assessing damage to the dental system in cases of the most common types of vehicle: collision of moving vehicle with man; run over the body with a wheels or the bottom of vehicle; at an injury inside the vehicle on the basis of the analysis of morphological features and the mechanism of the specified damages. It is proved that according to the degree of gravity of physical injuries (health disorder or disability), damage to the dental apparatus in traffic accidents should be investigated only in cases of isolated injuries. In this case, fractures of the jaws, regardless of their nature, should be assessed as moderate injuries according to the criterion of long-term health disorders; Crown fractures, traumatic tooth dislocations, and soft tissue fatal wounds should be considered simple injuries that have caused short-term health disorders. Abrasions, bruises should be attributed to simple injuries. Thus, it is impractical to separately determine the severity of the injury of the dental system in cases run over the head with a wheels or the bottom of vehicle - in these cases, we always deal with gross, massive destruction of the bones of the skull.
