“…In the present study, dentoalveolar fractures constituted 30.1% of the total fractures, mostly involving the anterior region of the maxilla, which is more prone to injuries due to its forward position; a similar observation was made by Fariniuk et al 26 and Ashrafullaha et al 21 In the preschool-aged children, the incidence of midfacial fracture is less because of prominence of cranium and more elasticity of facial bone than the adults. 21 Nasal bone fractures were the least frequently recorded injury; this is in line with other reports, 6 , 16 yet in contrast with other studies. 17 , 27 Treatment of pediatric facial fractures depends on the type and site of fractures and on the skeletal and dental development.…”

Aim:The purpose of this study was to analyze the patterns of facial fractures in children and to compare them between preschool-and schoolaged children. Materials and methods: This retrospective observational study included 57 children with facial fractures. The variables analyzed were the age of the patients-divided into a preschool-aged group (0-5 years) and a school-aged group (6-12 years)-gender, cause of trauma, the facial bones involved, the pattern of fracture, the modality of treatment used, the time between injury and treatment, and the postoperative complications. Results:The incidence of facial fractures in children ≤12 years was 30.2%. The patients consisted of 40 (70.2%) males and 17 (29.8%) females, and most patients belonged to the school-aged group (n = 35, 61.4%). The most common cause of injury was falls. Mandibular fractures were the most common (54.2%), mostly involving the condylar region. Forty patients (70.2%) were treated surgically and 17 patients (29.8%) were managed conservatively. The variables that were significantly different between the two groups included the cause of injury, the site of injury, and the type of treatment. Conclusion: Facial fractures occur most frequently in school-aged children with male predominance, falls are the most common cause of facial fractures in children, the incidence of mandibular fractures is high and the condyle is the most affected site, the surgical treatment is indicated in most of the older age groups, and no major complications were encountered. Clinical significance: Facial fractures in children require special considerations in their management due to many characteristic features of the facial skeleton of the growing child and the possibility of growth disturbances that may result from these injuries, the incidence of facial fractures in children increases with the beginning of school and their treatment in school-aged children tends to be surgical rather than conservative.

“…The weakness of mandible is because of increase tooth to bone ratio (existence of permanent tooth buds), thinness of bone and curvature of the mandible. 5,18 This Table 6: Associated injuries among pediatric patients Table 7: Complications among pediatric fractures result is in disagreement with the results of Joachim et al 9 who described that condyle was the main site of fracture. 9 Majority of the fractures in this study were treated by open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) technique.…”

“…3 The reason for the reduced incidence of maxillofacial trauma in pediatric patients when juxtaposed to adult patients is possibly due to the flexible bones of face, improper paranasal sinuses pneumatization and conservation of the malar area by buccal fat pad. 3,4,5 Trauma involving the facial region is mainly notable due to observable placement of the face, its esthetic significance and psychological role harmfully influencing the leading uses like mastication, deglutition, speech and respiration. 4,6 The manner of maxillofacial trauma in pediatric patients fluctuates between the different countries depending upon their environmental, cultural and socioeconomic factors.…”

To establish the etiology, pattern, management and outcome of maxillofacial trauma in pediatric patients. METHODOLOGY: A three-year record of pediatric patients who suffered from maxillofacial trauma was reviewed and analyzed using hospital database. The data gathered from the record of the patients like age was presented as mean and standard deviation whereas data like gender, etiology of particular trauma, anatomic position of fracture, affiliated injuries, kind of treatment used and outcome of the treatment was presented as frequency and percentage. Study Design: Retrospective study.
