“…Midface fractures were more common than mandibular fractures. This finding is in disagreement with a number of previous studies ( Al Ahmed et al, 2004 , Oji, 1999 , Karyouti, 1987 , Cheema and Amin, 2006 , Obuekwe et al, 2003 , Akhlaghi et al, 2019 ) where mandibular fractures were more common. In the mandibular fractures, parasymphysis was the most prominently affected region, which contradicts with many earlier studies, such as that performed in Libya ( Khalil and Shaladi, 1981 ), where body of the mandible and angle of the mandible was the most commonly affected region in studies conducted in Australia ( Dongas and Hall, 2002 ) and Egypt ( Sakr et al, 2006 ).…”

“…According to our results, patients in the 21–30 age group sustained the most injuries. This result was in agreement with many other studies performed ( Akama et al, 2007 , Devadiga and Prasad, 2007 , Oji, 1999 , Ugboko et al, 1987 , Adeyemo, 2005 , Guruprasad et al, 2014 , Weihsin et al, 2014 , Kapoor and Kalra, 2012 , Akhlaghi et al, 2019 ) . One possible reason would be the reckless driving that people in this age group tend to do ( Udeabor et al, 2014 , van den Bergh et al, 2012 ) .…”

Aims To analyze the incidence of maxillofacial fractures due to motor vehicle accidents in Dubai, as well as age, sex, etiology, patterns, treatment, and complications. To compare the findings with similar studies and provide recommendations for the prevention and management of these fractures. Materials and methods A 7-year retrospective study of maxillofacial fractures due to motor vehicle accidents was done. Results We found that most of the accidents took place in December, and the majority of the patients were pedestrians (27%). Male to female ratio was 6:1, and patients in their third decade of life were the most affected (39%). The parasymphysis was the most prominently affected region (27.7%), followed by the orbital bone (18.6%). Open reduction surgery was done in 56% of the cases, and postoperative complications were found in 18.4%. Conclusions Pedestrians were most commonly involved in the accidents. An increase in awareness, trauma centers, and better facilities would perhaps improve the management of such fractures.

“…Two articles did not evaluate the age range from 0 to 10 years, joining all patients under the age of 20 into the same age range 24 , 30 . Unclear or unreported data on age range were found in 10 articles 12 , 13 , 25 , 27 , 32 , 34 , 39 , 41 , 43 , 44 . One article used charts instead of tables, which made it difficult to identify some data that was not described in the text 15 .…”

“…Few articles had crossed some data, such as the anatomical region and the type of treatment, gender or the etiology of the fracture, but a statistical comparison was not possible.

Background: Maxillofacial fractures are a common type of injury that can result in significant morbidity and mortality. We aimed to systematically review the literature on the prevalence and causes of maxillofacial fractures in Iran to estimate the overall prevalence of maxillofacial fractures and the most common causes. Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science (WS) and Google Scholar (GS) electronic databases was conducted to identify relevant articles published up to January 2023. Studies reporting the prevalence and causes of maxillofacial fractures in Iran were included in the analysis. MOOSE guidelines were adopted for the current systematic review. No data or language restriction were applied. Risk of bias across the articles was assessed. Results: A total of 32 studies comprising 35,720 patients were included in the analysis. The most common cause of maxillofacial fractures was road traffic accidents (RTAs), accounting for 68.97% of all cases, followed by falls (12.62%) and interpersonal violence (9.03%). The prevalence of maxillofacial fractures was higher in males (81.04%) and in the age group of 21-30 years (43.23%). Risk of bias across studies was considered low. Conclusion: Maxillofacial fractures are a significant public health problem in Iran, with a high prevalence and RTAs being the leading cause. These results highlight the need for increased efforts to prevent maxillofacial fractures in Iran, especially through measures to reduce the incidence of RTAs.

Maxillofacial trauma refers to any injury to the face or jaw caused by physical force, foreign objects, or burns. For all traumatic events imaging examination is an essential component which is done both pre-operatively and post-operatively. This study was to assess the accuracy of CBCT imaging and the conventional imaging in evaluation of maxillofacial fracture. To assess the maxillofacial fracture using conventional radiography and CBCT. To compare the diagnostic acurracy of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) with conventional radiography. To validate the best method for assessment of maxillofacial trauma.: Depending on type of fracture conventional imaging and CBCT imaging was done. Following which fracture was assessed using AOCMF classification.The most common fracture was zygomatic complex fracture of about 76.9%. CBCT showed significant P-value in assessment of level-2 fracture evaluation, extension of fracture and in Level-3, number of fragment, angulations, displacement, inferior obital fissure, crown root fracture assessment. The sensitivity and specificity of CBCT was better than conventional imaging. CBCT assess the maxillofacial fracture more precisely than conventional imaging.
