Objetivo: Identificar os principais tipos de traumas faciais encontrados nas publicações científicas entre os anos de 2005-2017. Método: Revisão Integrativa da Literatura, a partir da questão norteadora. O uso dos descritores deu início à busca de dados online. A amostra final foi composta por 17 estudos selecionados, de acordo com os critérios de inclusão e exclusão. Por fim, realizou-se a categorização dos artigos, permitindo a análise dos resultados para desenvolvimento da discussão e síntese do assunto. Resultados: A maioria dos estudos utilizados foi publicada em 2014 (17,6%), na Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (47,0%), escritos em inglês (53,0%) e português (47,0%) e divulgados em dez periódicos diferentes. No mais, contemplaram duas temáticas principais: traumas bucomaxilofaciais e traumas por queimadura facial, os quais apresentaram maior prevalência no sexo masculino (88,2%), na faixa etária entre 21 - 30 anos (55,0%) e decorrentes de agressão interpessoal (53,0%). Conclusão: Os principais tipos encontrados foram os traumas bucomaxilofaciais que envolve lesões mandibulares, maxilares, dentárias, nasais, zigomáticas e orbitais, assim como os traumas por queimadura facial. Desse modo, os resultados sugerem a necessidade de abordagem multidisciplinar, especialmente do bucomaxilofacial para diagnóstico e tratamento, além da prevenção e aprofundamento no assunto.

Abstract Objective: to analyze the epidemiological profile of geriatric patients with facial trauma treated at a Maxillofacial Surgery Department in southern Brazil over a period of 10 years. Methods: a retrospective analysis of the medical records of patients aged over 60 years treated for facial trauma in the period from January 2001 to December 2010 was performed. Result: of a total of 1,385 analyzed medical records of patients with facial trauma, 86 (6.2%) belonged to the group aged 60-89 years. The male gender was the most affected and the age group 60-69 years was the most frequently involved. The middle third was the most affected, and the zygomatic bone was the most commonly fractured. Conclusion: special attention should be given to the 60-69 age group, as while such patients present physiological changes inherent to aging, they remain active in society and exposed to risk factors for facial trauma.

The trauma of the face appears with great incidence in physical aggressions and accidents, by the position of vulnerability in the body. It is subject to modifications of the etiologic agent and lesion pattern according to the socio-cultural and economic profile of the region. This study has a transverse, observational nature, of predominantly descriptive analysis. The same was done at the General Hospital of the State of Alagoas, using data collected from patient records from January to June 2012, with the aim of tracing the epidemiological profile of victims of facial trauma, with the following variables: gender, age, etiology, and alcohol intake. The lesion pattern, type and location on the face were also analyzed. During the study, a prevalence of 72% of males was observed, with the majority of the victims being adults or young people, reaching 35.6% and 32% of the cases, respectively. As to the type of lesion, the most frequent was the contusion (90.6%) and the region most affected corresponded to the nasal (21%). The most frequent etiologies corresponded to traffic accidents (33%) and falls (33%). Fifteen percent of the individuals involved in traffic accidents made use of alcoholic beverage. From this study can be provided useful data for the elaboration of public policies for preventive campaigns, more appropriate to the situation lived by the population, as well as clinical protocols.

<p><strong>Objective</strong>: To obtain the epidemiological profile and follow the rehabilitation of patients with buccomaxillofacial trauma attended at a hospital emergency service. <strong>Material and Methods:</strong> The study consisted of the analysis of medical charts, evaluation and follow-up of adult patients, over 18 years of age, in the preoperative and postoperative period from August 2015 to July 2016. Of the 114 charts examined, all had their epidemiological profile evaluated, but only 45 patients underwent a maxillofacial surgical procedure. During the clinical evaluation, post-trauma conditions were recorded before treatment (T1) and 48 hours after surgical treatment (T2). <strong>Results</strong>: The age group most affected by buccomaxillofacial trauma was between 20 and 31 years, especially in the male gender. The mandible and nasal bones were the most affected by trauma. The limitation of mouth opening was the main consequence and the levels of buccal opening before and after treatment of mandible fractures were significantly different. <strong>Conclusions</strong>: The profile of patients with facial trauma was composed of men, aged between 21 and 30 years, motorcycle traffic accidents and physical aggression being the predominant causal factors. The facial bones most affected by the trauma were the jaw and the nasal bones. The limitation of mouth opening was a consequence of the trauma of the mandibular region. Immediate treatment of fractures that affected the mandible provided the restoration of the maximum opening, occlusion and homeostasis of the stomatognathic system in the postoperative patients.<br />KEYWORDS<br /> Trauma of head; Traumatology; Fracture fixation.</p><pre> </pre>
