Abstract

Introduction & Objective: Comparing accident trauma in different countries, Iranian people have a high rate of this kind of trauma. In this kind of trauma, head and neck trauma has a significant rate.Materials & Methods: This descriptive analytical study assesses the cause, type, incidence, demographic character of MAXILLOFACIAL FRACTURES, managed at our medical center during a 2-year period and compares them with the existing body of literature on the subject.A 2-year retrospective clinical and epidemiologic study evaluated 159 patients treated for MAXILLOFACIAL FRACTURES from 1995 to 1996 at one medical center.Results: There were 138 (87%) male patients and 21 (13%) female patients. The patients ranged in age from 3 to 83 years, with 52.8% (84 patients) in the 20 to 39 year age group. A number of parameters, including age, gender, cause of injury, site of injury, and type of injury were evaluated. All maxillofacial injuries were assessed and treated by a single oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Appropriate consultant specialists treated other concomitant bodily injuries. There were 138 (86.8%) mandibular and 21 (13.2%) maxillary fractures. Car accidents caused 123 (77.4%), falling 28 (17.6%), and quarrel 8(5%) of the maxillofacial injuries. Regarding the distribution of mandibular fractures, 30.4% were seen in the condylar region, 17.39% in the symphyseal-parasymphyseal region, 15.22% in the angle region, 25.36% in the body, 7.97% in the ramus, and 3.62% in the coronoid region. The distribution of maxillary fractures was Le Fort II in 24 (37.5%), Le Fort I in II (17.19%), Le Fort III in 8 (12.5%), and alveolar in 1 (1.56%) patients.Conclusions: The findings of this study, compared with similar studies reported in the literature, support the view that the causes and incidence of maxillofacial injuries vary from one country to another.
