Avaliou-se os aspectos epidemiológicos das fraturas oralmaxilofaciais em prontuários de pacientes atendidos em um Hospital Universitário do Brasil central. A amostra do estudo foi proveniente da revisão de prontuários de 346 pacientes atendidos no Serviço de Cirurgia e Traumatologia Oralmaxilofacial do Hospital Geral Universitário na cidade de Cuiabá, Mato Grosso, Brasil. Os seguintes dados foram coletados dos registros hospitalares de cada paciente: sexo, idade, fator etiológico, região anatômica afetada, procedência, distribuição sazonal e período de internação. O tratamento estatístico analisou os dados frente à distribuição de frequência e qui-quadrado. O nível de significância foi de p<0,05. Observou-se elevada frequência de fraturas oralmaxilofaciais em indivíduos do sexo masculino (n=290; 83,8%), com idade variando entre 21-30 anos (n=120; 34,5%) e provenientes de cidades do interior do estado do Mato Grosso (n=169; 48,8%). Os principais fatores etiológicos foram os acidentes de trânsito motorizados (n=169; 48,9%), violência (n=65; 18,8%) e quedas (n=25; 7,2%). A distribuição sazonal evidenciou elevado número de lesões no outono (n=89; 25,8%), inverno e primavera (n=77; 22,2%, cada um). O terço inferior da face foi a região mais comumente envolvida (n=276; 54,3%). A injúria mais comum foi a fratura do complexo zigomático (n=146; 28,7%), seguida da fratura do corpo da mandíbula (n=99; 19,4%). Os dados obtidos se assemelham aos encontrados na literatura, no que diz respeito à prevalência do sexo masculino, da faixa etária e dos acidentes de trânsito como principal agente etiológico.Palavras-chave: Traumatismod Dentários.

The following information was collected from the patients’ medical records: gender, age, etiologic factor, type of injury, patient origin, seasonal distribution and hospital stay period. The statistical treatment analyzed data from frequency distribution and chi-squared test. The level of significance was set at 5% for all analyses. The highest incidence of maxillofacial fractures was found among males (n=290; 83.8%), with 21-30 years-old (n=120; 34.5%) and from inner cities of Mato Grosso (n=169; 48.9%). The main etiologic factor were vehicle traffic accidents (n=169; 48.9%), violence (n=65; 18.8%) and falls (n=25; 7.2%). The seasonal distribution showed that most of the cases occurred in the fall (n=89; 25.8%), winter and spring (n=77; 22.2% each). The lower third of the face was the most commonly involved region  (n=276; 54.3%). The most frequently observed fracture involved the zygomatic complex (n=146; 28.7%), followed by the mandible body (n=99; 19.4%). The epidemiological aspects of maxillofacial fractures in this study were similar to those observed in other studies, regarding the prevalence of the male, age group and traffic accidents as the main etiological factor.Keywords: Tooth Injuries.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess patterns of maxillofacial trauma in the pediatric population in Atlanta. This information is important to help guide management and allocate resources for treatment of maxillofacial injuries at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA). Methods: This study was a retrospective chart review of children who presented from 2006 to 2015. Inclusion criteria were: (1) age 18 years old or younger, (2) presentation to emergency department, (3) diagnosis of maxillofacial fractures, and (4) evaluation by Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Otolaryngology, or Plastic Surgery services. Medical records were reviewed to record demographic, mechanism of injury, fracture location, and yearly incidence of injury. Descriptive statistics were computed to summarize findings and overall trends. Results: During the study period, 39,833 patients were identified. Of them, 1995 met the inclusion criteria. The majority were male (n = 1359, 68%) with an average age of 9.4 years old (range of 1 month to 18 years old). Mechanisms of injury were motor vehicle collisions (MVC) (n = 597, 29.9%), fall (n = 565, 28.3%), sports injury (n = 317, 15.9%), pedestrian struck (n = 215, 10.8%), assault/abuse (n = 204, 10.2%), other (n = 81, 4.1%), or gunshot wound (n = 16, 0.8%). Fracture sites were mandible (n = 519, 26%), complex (n = 479, 24%), nasal (n = 419, 21%), dentoalveolar (n = 279, 14%), orbital (n = 259, 13%), and maxilla (n = 40, 2%). Males had a higher incidence of assault than females (n = 185, 91% of assaults). The incidence of maxillofacial trauma increased with age with a peak incidence in 13 to 16-year-olds (n = 566, 28.3%). During the years examined, there was an upward trend in MVCs as the etiology with a peak incidence of facial fractures due to MVCs occurring in 2015. All other mechanisms remained constant during this time period. Conclusions: There was an increase in pediatric facial fractures secondary to motor vehicle collisions from 2007 to 2015 despite improvements in regulations, traffic safety, and technology.

Gingival pathology is a daily presentation, however a small number of systemic conditions can manifest similar to a common gingival condition and have fatal results. Dentist referred 56-year-old woman to Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery department with a 2-week medical history of gingival bleeding not responding to local measures. Biopsy showed eosinophilic infiltrate and vasculitis, and blood tests showed positive markers including cytoplasmic antineutrophil cytoplasmatic antibodies. Granulomatosis with polyangiitis is a rare disease affecting the respiratory tract, blood vessels and kidneys. Oral lesions are rarely the primary presenting feature. When left untreated, most cases are fatal within a year of diagnosis. The diagnosis can only be made when certain criteria are found, including granular oral lesions exhibiting an eosinophilic inflammatory infiltrate on biopsy. With 5% of cases showing intraoral lesions as the primary feature, it is essential that dentists have the knowledge of this rare disease to refer and not to treat as a common gingival condition.
