Abstract
Background:Trauma can be designated as the most common cause for injuries to maxillofacial region and it may lead to fracture of bone, soft tissues injuries and even both in some instances. Identification of the cause of trauma provides the insights on the behavioural pattern of the individuals which differ from country to country. It also assist us preventive approach to reduce the incidence of maxillofacial injuries.
Aim: To evaluate the demographic data of the patients with maxillofacial trauma and to assess the major risk factors and prevention strategies to reduce maxillofacial fractures.
Material and Methods: A 5 years cross-sectional retrospective study was conducted by the case records of the patients reported at Kalinga Institute of Medical & Dental College & hospital in Bhubaneswar. A total 494 patient records were evaluated for various demographic, etiological factors, type and location of injury, alcohol involvement, treatment done,daily and monthly variation of injury.
Results:Majority of the maxillofacial injuries occurred in male than in female. Third decade being the most common age group for occurrence of maxillofacial fractures.78.9% of cases occurred due to RTA. 40% of cases were reported in rainy season and the least in the winter season. Influence of alcohol is very high (74.89%) in occurrence of maxillofacial fractures.
Conclusion:Maxillofacial fractures are one of the common injuries during trauma by any cause.Identification of the risk factors for the cause of trauma may give us a clue to prevent maxillofacial injuries.
