“…Although these injuries have also been described in other studies [1,5,6,38] Traumatic dental injuries accounted for 3.4% of the outcomes found in the study. Dental dislocation, followed by crown fractures and avulsions were the most frequent types of traumatic dental injury.…”

Objective: To identify and analyze cases of OMF treated in an emergency hospital in southern Brazil. Material and Methods: The investigators conducted a retrospective, cross-sectional study. The sample was composed of 1,533 patient medical records. Demographic, seasonal, and clinical variables were collected. Additionally, the medical records also included data on etiological factors, injury site, and tissues involved. A descriptive analysis was conducted based on 1,179 (76.9%) records of OMF injuries. Results: Most patients were male children and adolescents. Accidents (59.7%), such as falls, and interpersonal violence (18.7%), such as physical aggression, were the main etiological factors. Most injuries involved soft tissue (66.4%), especially in the lip region; whereas fractures affected the nasal bones. Transfers and hospitalizations accounted for 8.1% of clinical outcomes and dentists participated in the treatment of 85% of cases. Conclusion:The results of this study suggest a higher prevalence of OMF injuries in men, affecting young people more frequently and showing falls as the main etiological factor. Dentists participated in the majority of the medical care. Future studies will focus on determining risk groups, developing preventive programs, and improving health care services, with the participation of dentists in the multidisciplinary team.

“…Age groups between 20 and 49 years old are the most common relating to facial trauma; automobile accident and interpersonal violence are the most frequent agents causing these fractures, still regarding the present study [16]. The average age of patients with associated body injuries of the studied population was of 29.8 years old, once again in favour of the results of the present study [17]. …”

“…In this study, the second cause was interpersonal violence that represented 17.9% of the cases of body injuries associated to facial trauma. A study that analyzed 325 patients showed that car accidents are responsible for about 2/5 of body injuries associated to facial trauma, followed by interpersonal violence (17%) [17]. …”

ObjectivesThis study aimed to identify the occurrence, type and severity of body injuries associated in patients with facial trauma, referred to the Hospital São Vicente de Paulo (HSVP) in the city of Passo Fundo - RS, Brazil.Material and MethodsThe study analyzed medical records of 1385 patients who were treated in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at HSVP during the period from 1991 to 2010.ResultsAccording to the results of this study we observed that 35% of cases of facial fractures were associated with a body injury. It was recorded a higher incidence of facial fractures in the male population (82.6%), aged between 20 and 39 years. The main etiologic factors for this association were car accidents, falls and assaults. Most fractures were recorded in the mandible and the main body injury found was the abrasion associated in some region of the body, however, when considering fractures of the face middle third the main body injury was more associated with cranioencephalic trauma.ConclusionsConcomitant injuries in areas other than the face should be expected first and foremost after high-speed trauma mechanisms and in association with severe facial fractures. The results underscore the importance of multiprofessional collaboration in diagnosis and sequencing of treatment who have sustained facial fractures.

“…Currently, its incidence has increased, presenting a variable and dynamic behavior that would go hand in hand with the evolution of the different conditions of the population (2,6,7). This would lead to significant differences, even within the same region (8,9) with profiles and mechanisms differentiated by sex and age (2,9,10,11). In developing countries in the Middle East and Africa, for example, profiles are strongly dominated by men (over 75%), between 20 and 30 years and the main etiology is road traffic crashes (2,7,12-14).…”

BackgroundDetermine the behavior of the maxillofacial trauma of adults treated in 3 tertiary care centers in the central zone of Chile.Material and MethodsDescriptive, cross-sectional, multicenter study, based on the prospective records of maxillofacial trauma cases attended between May 2016 and April 2017 by dental and maxillofacial clinical teams of Adult Emergency Units of hospitals Dr. Sótero del Río (metropolitan region), Carlos Van Buren and Dr. Gustavo Fricke (region V). Age, sex, date of occurrence, type of trauma according to ICD-10, etiology, legal medical prognosis and associated injuries were recorded, stratifying by sex and age. Chi square and unpaired Wilcoxon tests were used to compare by groups.Results2.485 cases and 3.285 injuries were investigated. The male: female ratio was 1.7: 1 with age under 30 predominant, followed by older adults. Variability was observed in the yearly, weekly and daily presentation. The highest frequencies were in January and September, weekends and at night. The main etiologies were violence (42.3%), falls (13.1%) and road traffic crashes (12.9%) with differences by age and sex (p<0.05). 31,9% of the injuries occurred in hard tissue, being fractures in nasal bones predominant (S02.2).ConclusionsThe profile of the maxillofacial trauma in Chile seems to be mixed by age, affecting young people and the elderly. The male sex predominates; the main cause, which varies by age group, is violence. Their surveillance is possible from hospital emergency records. Key words:Maxillofacial trauma, emergency department, multicenter study.
