The epidemiology, incidence and patterns of maxillofacial fractures in Jeddah city, Saudi Arabia

Abstract

255supernumerary teeth, and delayed eruption of permanent teeth; the mother had a similar clinical history. The RUNX2 mutation analysis revealed a frameshift mutation caused by a cytosine deletion at nucleotide 1205 in exon 8 (c.1205delC) in both subjects. Conclusion: We found one case of a c.1205delC mutation in an extensive literature search, but the clinical condition of the patient was not described. Therefore, we were unable to compare the clinical presentations associated with this mutation. However, we believe this report provides a useful basis for genotypic and phenotypic analyses in cleidocranial dysplasia. http://dx.

Maxillofacial Bone Fracture Profiling amongst Adults and Elderly Population in Najran City, Southern Region of Saudi Arabia: A 20-Year Single Institutional Experience

“…Globally, RTA especially MVA remain the major cause of maxillofacial injuries including Saudi Arabia [3,5,18]. In other less developed world, motorcycle related RTA has been the main etiological factor [22,33,34], In our study and other studies from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, no motorcycle-related RTA was observed.…”

“…Inclusion criteria are cases of maxillofacial fractures in victims, aged 20-years and above, with complete medical records.

Apart from RTA and assaults, other common etiologies of maxillofacial fractures include sports, occupational accidents, domestic accidents, falls, and animal injuries [10,11].…”

A cross-sectional study of the prevalence and severity of maxillofacial fractures resulting from motor vehicle accidents in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

“…An Al-Ahsa study revealed that MVAs are the largest cause of maxillofacial trauma (63.3%) ( Al-Bokhamseen et al, 2019 ). Another study conducted in Jeddah found MVAs to be the main cause of maxillofacial trauma (73.1%) ( Alghamdi et al, 2017 ), and a study conducted by Singaram et al found a similar rate (73.8%) ( Singaram and Udhayakumar, 2016 ). A study in Australia, on the other hand, reported assaults as the major cause of maxillofacial injuries (29.9%) ( Cabalag et al, 2014 ).…”

Patterns of Maxillofacial Injuries in the Middle East and North Africa: A Systematic Review

“…Likewise, reports have also demonstrated that there is a tendency for assaulted female patients with maxillofacial injuries to provide inadequate documentation because of cultural reasons pertaining to the societal position of women in these countries. 36 …”

“…Additional reasons that influence the prevalence of maxillofacial injuries from RTAs involve poor road infrastructure and the high percentage of old vehicles without any prominent safety features. 29 , 36 , 38 , 39 Iraq was the only country in the study where MFFs were mainly caused by missile injuries, as Iraq has been involved in multiple wars since 2003 up to date. Collected data from different countries such as KSA, 8 the United Arab Emirates, 3 Jordan, 40 Sudan, 30 Libya 41 and Turkey 9 have shown that 24%–93.3% of MFFs were related to RTAs.…”
