“…The summer season is risky in terms of maxillofacial trauma frequency. [13,16] In this study, patients with maxillofacial traumas were found to present to the emergency room most frequently in the summer. However, there is no significant relationship between the seasons and experiencing head trauma.…”

“…The male/female ratio is around 3/1 in the literature. [12][13][14][15][16][17] Nevertheless, the mean age of the patients exposed to maxillofacial trauma is above 30 years. [3,8,[14][15][16][17][18][19] There is a close relationship between the presence of accompanying head injury in patients with maxillofacial fractures.…”

Multiple factors are responsible for this difference that includes the flexibility of the facial skeleton, the small size of the facial sinuses, the presence of multiple fat pads, unerupted teeth that may buttress the bone and a high level of adult supervision [3].
