ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the influence of oral and maxillofacial trauma on the development of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and to determine the efficiency of the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) as a diagnostic tool for detecting PTSD in patients with Oral and Maxillofacial injuries. Material and Methods: PTSD was assessed one month postoperatively by the diagnostic instrument, IES-R, to arrive at a provisional diagnosis. A structured clinician-administered PTSD Scale then assessed the patients for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-5th edition (CAPS-5) to establish a final diagnosis. The assessment of the severity of PTSD was done based on various types of oral and maxillofacial injuries. Results: The IES-R scale provisionally diagnosed 54 subjects with PTSD, out of which 42 were diagnosed to have PTSD by the CAPS-5 scale. Subjects with injuries involving the 'orbital complex,' those presenting with a perceptible scar in the maxillofacial region and with multiple avulsed/ luxated anterior teeth, showed a higher affinity to develop PTSD, and this was statistically significant. Conclusion: Higher levels of PTSD in patients with injuries to the maxillofacial region warrants correct diagnosis and detection, and hence the maxillofacial surgeon plays a vital role in this regard. The IES-R is a useful diagnostic tool to detect PTSD early.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Facial injuries may affect patients' capacity to eat, speak and interact. Objective: Characterize severe maxillofacial trauma in the emergency departments of General Calixto García University Hospital and Miguel Enríquez Hospital in Havana, Cuba. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional multicenter study was conducted in the emergency departments of General Calixto García University Hospital and Miguel Enríquez Hospital from March 2017 to March 2019. The study universe was patients diagnosed with severe maxillofacial trauma. The qualitative variables were sex, etiology, consumption of alcoholic beverages and injuries, whereas the quantitative variable was age. A data collection form was developed and the information was stored in a database. Data were expressed in whole numbers, percentages and statistical tables. A search was performed for the relationship between the variables. Results: Male sex constituted 80.6 percent of the sample. The best represented age group was 18-30 years (33.3 percent), followed by 31-40 (25.0 percent). In 41.7 percent of the patients the trauma was related to traffic accidents, and in 30.6 percent to interpersonal violence. Alcohol breath was detected in 51.9 percent of the patients, among them most of those cared for at Miguel Enríquez Hospital. There was a predominance of wounds larger than 2 cm, followed by wounds under that length (61.1 percent and 32.4 percent, respectively) and mandibular fracture (51.9 percent). Conclusions: A predominance was found of the male sex and the 18-30 years age group; the main etiology was traffic accidents, followed by interpersonal violence; the most common soft tissue injuries were wounds larger than 2 cm, whereas the most common hard tissue injuries were mandibular fractures. A significant association was found with consumption of alcoholic beverages among the patients treated at Miguel Enríquez Hospital(AU)

Introducción: las fracturas del tercio medio facial plantean un problema médico grave en cuanto a su complejidad, frecuencia e impacto socioeconómico. Objetivo: realizar una revisión bibliográfica sobre sus consideraciones anatómicas, diagnóstico, clasificación, tratamiento y complicaciones de las fracturas del tercio medio facial. Métodos: se realizó una revisión bibliográfica en septiembre de 2016. Se evaluaron revistas de impacto de Web of Sciencies (25 revistas) y 2 libros. Se consultaron las bases de datos de MEDLINE, PubMed y ScieELO con los descriptores: maxillary fracture, treatment, lefort fracture. Se incluyeron artículos en idioma inglés, de los últimos 5 años. Se obtuvieron 98 artículos. El estudio se circunscribió a 40. Análisis e integración de la información: el tercio medio muestra debilidad anatómica al estar formado por huesos esponjosos, con múltiples suturas y poco protegidos. Existen múltiples clasificaciones de estas fracturas y el diagnóstico se basa en los hallazgos clínicos, siendo de importancia los oftalmológicos, que unidos a los de los medios auxiliares de diagnóstico, permiten escoger la modalidad terapéutica y evitar complicaciones. Conclusiones: las características anatómicas del tercio medio facial justifican la frecuencia y su repercusión de estas fracturas. El diagnóstico debe basarse en el interrogatorio, examen físico y los medios auxiliares de diagnóstico imaginológicos, fundamentalmente tomográficos. Al clasificar la fractura se puede establecer un plan de tratamiento basado en la valoración individual de cada caso con el objetivo de evitar complicaciones posteriores(AU)
Introduction: midface fractures are a serious medical problem due to their complexity, frequency and socioeconomic impact. Objective: conduct a literature review about the anatomical considerations, diagnosis, classification, treatment and complications of midface fractures. Methods: A literature review was conducted in September 2016. The evaluation included high impact journals from the Web of Science (25 journals) and 2 books. The databases MEDLINE, PubMed and SciELO were consulted, using the descriptors maxillary fracture, treatment, lefort fracture. Papers written in English in the last five years were included. Of the 98 papers obtained, the study considered 40. Data analysis and integration: the middle third of the face is characterized by anatomical weakness, since it is formed by scantily protected spongy bone with multiple sutures. There are many classifications for midface fractures, and diagnosis is based on clinical findings, particularly ophthalmological, which alongside those of auxiliary diagnostic devices, make it possible to choose the most appropriate therapeutic mode and prevent complications. Conclusions: the anatomical characteristics of the facial middle third justify the frequency and impact of these fractures. Diagnosis should be based on interrogation, physical examination and the use of auxiliary diagnostic imaging, mainly tomography. Upon classification of the fracture, a treatment plan may be devised based on individual assessment of each case to prevent future complications(AU)

Objective:To estimate the prevalence of maxillofacial trauma (MT) during sporting activities and to compare the level of knowledge and use of mouthguard (MG) by athletes from the public andprivate school system of São Luís, MA, Brazil. Material and Methods:Cross-sectional study in which a target population composed of 416 competition student athletes aged between 10 and 20 years of both genders, basketball (n=100), handball (n=60), soccer (n=96), judo (n=11), karate (n=22) and volleyball (n=127) players were interviewed by a single examiner. A structured questionnaire containing six objective questions about history of MT, knowledge and use of MG was used. Data were statistically analyzed using the x2 test (α= 0.05). Results:A 26% prevalence of MT was observed in the study population. The knowledge of MG as a method for preventing injuries during sport practice was significant (p<0.05); however, its use by athletes was minimal. A difference in the use of MGby athletes from public and private schools was observed (p<0.05). Conclusion:It was concluded that more than one fourth of the study population was affected by some kind of MT, highlighting dichotomy between the knowledge of MG as prevention method and its non-use during sporting practice

Objective:To describe the sample of Maxillofacial Complex (MFC) Lesions observed in a Brazilian service diagnostic reference for such lesions, and comparatively analyse observed data across the national and international literature. Material and Methods:Aliterature review of survey of MFC Lesions in Children and Adolescentes was performed. The keywords used were Oral, Pathology and Child, and 18 articles were selected. Then, we surveyed the biopsy archives of the Department of Pathology and Legal Medicine and the Oral Pathology Laboratory of the Federal University of Ceará recorded from 1994 to 2010. The inclusion criterion was patients whose age fell within the range of 0-16 years old. Results:From a total of 4,775 histological results, 499 (10.4%) were selected.Most lesions were diagnosed in female patients, and the prevalence increased with age. Benign lesions represented 90.4% of those reported; some patients had mucocele and inflammatory lesions, and malignant lesions accounted for 1.8% of all lesions reported. These data, compared to the selected articles, showed little similarity between populations at the international level. Conclusion:the evaluated population had significant differences compared to the articles reviewed. The international level of distribution has little influence on this prevalence, which indicates the necessity for performing more local surveys to establish reliable epidemiological profiles

Background: Fineneedle aspiration cytology (FNAC) as a cheap diagnostic technique has helped reduce diagnostic turnaround time of pathological entities from different body sites. It is thus also important to evaluate its utility in the diagnosis of maxillofacial lesions in view of heterogeneity of morphological patterns noted for this site. Methodology: Cytology and corresponding histology reports for lesions from patients where both were available were compared for concordance between specific cytological diagnosis and final histological diagnosis. From these; sensitivity; specificity; positive predictive value and accuracy of FNAC were calculated. Result: Cytological diagnosis of maxillofacial lesions demonstrated a sensitivity; specificity; positive predictive value and accuracy of 100; 95.7; 97 and 98.2; respectively. The concordance of specific cytological diagnosis with final histological diagnosis was 85.5. Conclusion: This study concludes that FNAC is a cheap and diagnostically reliable technique for evaluation of maxillofacial lesions in a resource poor setting

AIM: To identify the predominant causes and types of maxillofacial trauma in Brazil. METHODS: Reports of corporal trauma (7,536) between 2009-2010 in the Brazilian Institute of Forensic Medicine were analyzed as to the presence of maxillofacial traumas. Victims' demographic and trauma characteristics were recorded. RESULTS: Data were submitted to chi-square test and to multivariate Poisson regression. 778 reports referred maxillofacial trauma. Most victims were men (50.8%) around 27.6 years. Main causes were physical aggression (88.1%) and traffic accidents (6.7%). The most affected extraoral area was the middle third (60.7%). Risk for trauma in the middle third was significantly higher among patients aged 61-75 (RR 1.32), and non-white patients (black-skinned RR 1.21; brown-skinned RR 1.18); while falls were associated with trauma in the lower third (RR1.79). CONCLUSIONS: Violence was the main cause of maxillofacial trauma. Prevention of interpersonal violence may be a key element to prevent maxillofacial trauma.

A análise estatística foi utilizou os testes do Qui-quadrado e Exato de Fisher com nível de significância de 5% (p menor que 0,05). O odds ratio (OR) com intervalo de confiança de 95% foi calculado (IC 95%). Todas as análises foram feitas com o software Epi Info 3.5. Resultados: A razão entre os sexos masculino e feminino foi de 2:1 e a faixa etária de maior acometimento foi a de 1 a 4 anos (28,5%). As quedas (40,6%) e os acidentes de transporte terrestre (20,1%) foram os agentes etiológicos mais prevalentes. Observou-se associação entre o sexo e a ocorrência de acidente de transporte (p=0,001; OR=1,85 [1,28-2,69]. Fraturas faciais foram verificadas em 15,8% das vítimas, existindo associação entre o sexo e a ocorrência de fratura facial (P=0,047; OR=1,5 [1,02-2,25]), predominando os ossos nasais (31,5%) e o zigomático (22,8%). Traumatismo dentário foi identificado em 10,2% das vítimas, não existindo diferença estatística entre o sexo e a presença de trauma dentário (P=0,356). Conclusão: Crianças de baixa idade são as vítimas mais comuns de traumatismos maxilofaciais, com a maioria dos casos ocorrendo nos finais de semana e as quedas e os acidentes de transporte terrestre constituindo-se nos principais agentes etiológicos.
Objective: To evaluate the maxillofacial traumatisms in children and adolescents in the city of Campina Grande, PB, Brazil. Method: This investigation was a cross-sectional study with secondary data and sample composed of 941 charts of 1-18-year-old patients with facial trauma treated between June 2007 and June 2009 at two trauma centers. The studied variables were: sex, age, etiology, existence de facial fracture, affected bone and dental trauma. Comparisons of data were evaluated statistically using the Chi-square and Fisher's Exact tests at a significance level of 5% (p less than 0.05). Odds ratio (OR) with confidence intervals to 95% were calculated (CI 95%). They were calculated using the Epi Info Software. Results: The male-to-female ratio was 2:1 and the 1-4-year-old age group was the most affected (28.5%). Falls (40.6%) and road transport accidents (20.1%) were the most prevalent etiologic agents. There was association between sex and occurrence of transport accident (p=0.001; OR=1.85 [1.28-2.69]). Facial fractures were verified in 15.8% of the victims, existing an association between sex and occurrence of facial fracture (p=0.047; OR=1.5 [1.02-2.25]), with predominance of nasal bones (31.5%) and zygomatic bone (22.8%). Dental trauma was identified in 10.2% of the victims, with no statistically significant difference between sex and the presence of dental trauma (p=0.356). Conclusion: Children at early age are the most frequent victims of maxillofacial traumatisms, with most cases occurring during weekends, and falls and road transport accidents being the main etiological agents.

Objetivo: Analisar a ocorrência de lesões orofaciais em praticantes de esportes de luta. Método: Realizou-se um estudo transversal, descritivo-analítico, com abordagem indutiva e técnica de pesquisa a observação direta extensiva. A amostra do tipo não probabilística foi composta por 85 praticantes de esportes de luta matriculados em academias de Campina Grande-PB. Os dados foram coletados mediante a aplicação de um questionário composto por perguntas abertas e fechadas, dicotômicas e de múltipla escolha. As variáveis analisadas foram: sexo, idade, número e tipo de esporte praticado, importância e uso do protetor bucal, tipo de protetor bucal (pré-fabricado, termoplástico ou confeccionado pelo cirurgião-dentista), ocorrência de lesão associada à prática esportiva, região acometida e injúria na cavidade bucal. Os dados foram apresentados por meio da estatística descritiva. Para a análise bivariada utilizou-se os testes Exato de Fisher e Qui-quadrado (p menor que 0,05%). Resultados: A maioria dos atletas eram homens (76,5%), sendo a média de idade de 27,4 anos (±8,7). Quanto ao número de esportes, observou-se que a maioria fazia um único esporte de luta (90,6%). No que concerne ao tipo de esporte, verificou-se um predomínio do boxe (46,2%), seguido do Jiu-Jitsu (25,8%). A quase totalidade dos indivíduos (95,3%) afirmou conhecer a importância dos protetores bucais, porém apenas 41,7% relataram utilizá-lo, durante a prática esportiva existindo diferença estatisticamente significante entre o uso e o sexo do atleta (P=0,023). O tipo de protetor bucal mais utilizado foi o termoplástico (51,4%). Com relação à ocorrência de lesões nas distintas regiões do corpo, 43,5% afirmaram ter sofrido injúrias, existindo associação entre o sexo e a presença de lesão (P=0,002). Lesões na cavidade bucal foram reportadas por 16,5% dos praticantes, sendo todos do sexo masculino, existindo, portanto, associação estatisticamente significante entre o sexo e a presença de lesões na cavidade bucal (P=0,016). Conclusão: Há um predomínio do sexo masculino entre os atletas de esportes de luta, porém nem todos fazem uso dos protetores bucais durante a prática esportiva, apesar da alta ocorrência de injúrias nas regiões da cabeça e face. As lesões na cavidade bucal apresentaram uma baixa frequência nesses desportistas.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of orofacial injuries among combat sports practitioners. Method: A cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study was conducted in a sample of 85 combat sports practitioners from fitness gyms in the city of Campina Grande, PB, Brazil. The data were collected using a questionnaire applied to the participants and referred to gender, age, type and number of the practiced sports, importance and use of mouthguard, type of mouthguard, occurrence of injuries related to sports practice, affected region, and oral injury. The data were processed by Epi Info 3.5.1 software and presented by descriptive statistics. Fisher's exact and chi-square tests were employed for bivariate analysis (p less than 0.05). Results: Most athletes were men (76.5%) and the mean age was 27.4 ± 8.7 years. The prevailing sports practices were boxing (46.2%) and jiu-jitsu (25.8%). Only 41.7% of the interviewers used a mouthguard during sports practice and there was a statistically significant difference for its use between the genders (p=0.023). Thermoplastic mouthguard was the most frequently used type (51.4%). Occurrence of diverse injuries in different regions of the body was reported by 43.5% of the subjects, with a statistically significant association between gender and presence of injury (p=0.002). Oral injuries were reported by 16.5% of the practitioners, all of them male, with a statistically significant association between gender and presence of oral injuries (p=0.016). Conclusion: Mouthguard is not properly used by combat sports practitioners, in spite of the high rate of injuries in the head and face region. There was a low frequency of oral injuries among these athletes.

O presente estudo procurou obter uma estimativa dos custos diretamente ligados ao atendimento de lesões traumáticas maxilofaciais em crianças e adolescentes, comparados com a população adulta acometida do mesmo agravo, bem como o perfil sociodemográfico da população atendida em um Hospital Público do Município de São Paulo, Brasil, com o título de fornecer evidências para avaliação do dano em perícias odontolegais. Material e Método. Os dados dos prontuários foram colhidos no período de janeiro de 2002 a dezembro de 2008 dos pacientes atendidos no serviço de Cirurgia Buco-Maxilofacial de um hospital do Município de São Paulo. As variáveis classificatórias foram descritivamente apresentadas em tabelas de contingência contendo frequências absolutas (n) e relativas (%). A associação entre elas foi avaliada com o teste Qui-quadrado ou teste da razão de verossimilhança. Para a análise dos custos diretos foram utilizados os valores de referência da Tabela do Sistema de Informações de Tratamento Ambulatorial do Sistema Único de Saúde - SIA-SUS do ministério da Saúde. Resultados. Dos 1.200 casos analisados, 419 preencheram os requisitos da pesquisa. O grupo caso obteve 108 registros (faixa etária até 19 anos), e os demais foram classificados, como grupo controle (acima de 20 anos de idade). O grupo caso apresentou uma incidência de 1,5% ao ano de lesões traumáticas, e a média de idade no grupo caso foi de 14,35±4,76 e no grupo controle foi de 33,65±11,73 anos de idade. Em relação ao sexo predominaram os indivíduos do sexo masculino em ambos os subgrupos. O tipo de tratamento cirúrgico prevaleceu em ambos os subgrupos, e o tempo de internação em dias foi cerca de duas vezes maior no grupo controle em relação ao grupo caso, entretanto as complicações foram mais frequentes no grupo caso em relação ao grupo controle. Os tipos de lesões mais frequentes no grupo caso foram as fraturas nasais/dentárias, seguidas das fraturas e mandíbula, e que no grupo controle o quadro inverteu-se. A distribuição de custos teve o maior número de casos na faixa de custos até R$ 500,00 em ambos os subgrupos amostrais. A frequente de ocorrência de complicações foi significativamente maior no grupo caso, em relação ao grupo controle, da mesma forma que os retornos ambulatoriais foram também significativamente maiores neste grupo. Conclusões: a distribuição de custos teve o maior número de casos na faixa de custos até R$ 300,00 em ambos os subgrupos amostrais; esses custos foram calculados com base no repasse de verbas da Tabela de Valores do Sistema Único de Saúde, onde não está discriminado o custo dos honorários profissionais. A valoração do dano nas atividades periciais deve considerar, além dos custos diretamente envolvidos com o atendimento do traumatizado, as consequências para suas atividades diárias especialmente quando se trata de criança ou adolescentes cuja função social ainda está por se definir.

Material and Method. The hospital chart data were collected from january 2002 to december 2008 and the charts belonged to patients cared for by the Buco-Maxillofacial Surgery Department of a hospital in São Paulo. Classification variables were described in contingency tables which comprise absolute (n) and relative (%) frequencies. Their association was assessed using the chi-square test. reference prices from the Ambulatory Care Price Bable, provided by the Unified Health system (SIA-SUS), the govermment managed Public Health System in Brazil, were used to determine direct costs. Outcome: out the 1200 cases analyzed, 419 matched the requisites of this survey. The casegroup comprised 108 cases (up to 19 years old) and the other 311 were classified as the control group (above 20 years old). The incidence rate of trauma lesions as of 1,5% per year in the case group and the average age was of 14,35±4,76 while in the control group, the average age was 33,65±11,73. Male individuals prevailed in both groups and so did the surgical treatment. The number of days of hospital stay was about twice as big in the control group in relation to the case group. Complications, however, were more frequent in the case group. The most frequent winds of lesion in the case group were the dental or nasal fractures. Followed by jaw fractures, and this was directly opposite to what happened in the control group. The Unified Health System (SUS) reimbursed treatments of up to 500 reais in both group. The frequency of complications and retums to the Ambulatory Care facilities were significantly higher in the case group.

O estudo objetiva avaliar dados de prevalência do traumatismo maxilofacial e sua associação com lesão cervical. Foram estudados retrospectivamente 50 pacientes internados, com traumatismo maxilofacial, no maior hospitalde urgência e emergência do estado de Sergipe, durante 2002/2003. Foram analisadas as seguintes variáveis:gênero, idade, etiologia, prevalência do traumatismo maxilofacial associado à lesão na coluna cervical,localização da lesão cervical e evolução clínica. Os resultados mostram que houve maior incidência do gênero masculino (94%), na terceira década de vida (32%), sendo acidente automobilístico o principal fator etiológico(52%). A associação entre trauma maxilofacial e lesão cervical aconteceu em dois casos (4%), ocorrendo fratura entre os segmentos C5/C6 e C6/C7, que evoluíram sem seqüelas. A incidência da associação do traumatismo maxilofacial com lesão cervical, apesar de ser baixa, é extremamente importante, pois esse tipo de associação é responsável por elevados índices de morbimortalidade

O presete trabalho objetiva realizar um estudo retrospectivo das lesões bucais e analisar o nível de concordância entre os diferentes diagnósticos clínicos, cirúrgico e histopatológico, diagnosticados no Laboratório de Patologia Bucal da Faculdade de Odontologia da Universidade de Pernambuco no período de 1991 a 1998. Foram analisadas 915 requisições e laudos dos arquivos e notificados os dados referentes ao paciente, às lesões e diagnósticos. Os resultados totalizaram 54 lesões, sendo a hiperplasia fibroepitelial inflamatória, nevus, granuloma piogênico, processo inflamatório crônico inespecífico, cisto periapical, mucocele, papiloma, hoperceratose, carcinoma basocelular e granuloma periapical, os diagnósticos mais prevalentes (64%). O gênero feminino, a raça branca e a faixa etária entre 10 e 39 anos foram os achados mais prevalentes. Dentre as áreas anatômicas a derme facial (15,2%), rebordos alveolares e gengiva (13,2%) e mucosa labial (11,1%) foram as mais afetadas. A biópsia excisional foi a técnica mais executada (67%), sendo os diagnósticos clínicos e histopatológico coincidentes em 52%. Verifica-se que informações completas sobre o paciente, a lesão e seu mauseio são parâmetros fundamentais que complementam e contribuem para uma conduta diagnóstica e terapêutica adequadas e que os diagnósticos clínicos e cirúrgicos são, especialmente, relevantes no estabeleciemnto do diagnóstico final.

Inúmeras técnicas de reconstrução óssea são propostas, seja pela necessidade de quantidade e qualidade óssea, ou por melhor estética para a colocação de implantes. O enxerto autógeno de áreas doadoras intra-bucais, entre elas, é comprovadamente uma das técnicas mais realizadas hoje em Implantodontia (Triplett & Schow, 1996, Widmark et. 1996, Dinato & Polido, 2001). Assim, é de suma importância conhecer as estruturas básicas do desenvolvimento biológico e função do tecido ósseo. Concluindo, o objetivo será estudar a literatura científica a respeito da histologia e fisiologia do osso, bem como a incorporação dos enxertos ósseos autógenos.
A lot of techniques of reconstruction bone are propose, device the necessity or because the quality and quantitative bone, or to improve the esthetic in the place of implantations. The autogenous bone of the intra-oral gift area, between then, one of the main techniques today in Implantology (Triplett & Schow23, 1996, Widmark et al. 199624, Dinato & Polido, 20016). So, is very important to know the basic estructures of biology desenvelopment and the function of bone tissue. Concluding, the purpose will be study the cientific literature of histology and bone physiology, as well the incorporation mechanisms of the autogenous grafts.

PURPOSE: This prospective study evaluated the profile of patients with dentoalveolar trauma assisted at the emergency room of the Oral and Maxillofacial Trauma and Surgery Service at the Hospital das Clínicas, São Paulo University Medical School (Brazil). METHODS: A prospective study by a questionnaire applied during the first attendance of those patients, in a period of eight months. RESULTS: The collected data were statistically analyzed. It was observed that 4.7 percent of the patients that sought treatment at the Service had sustained dentoalveolar trauma and among these 74 percent were male. The most affected individuals were children aged 0 to 5 years and fall was the most prevalent etiologic factor. Avulsion and coronal/crown-root fractures were the most common types of dentoalveolar traumatic injures. As the age increases, the most common etiologic factors are traffic accidents and physical assault. CONCLUSION: The incidence of dentoalveolar trauma decreased with age and the main etiologic factors in adult patients were traffic accidents and physical assault.
