Maxillofacial injuries are a significant cause of morbidity and demand meticulously planned treatment. The aim of this present multi-center study was to evaluate the occurrence of dento-alveolar and maxillofacial injuries over a 5-year period. A retrospective cohort study of data from the Israel Trauma Registry was conducted for the years 2000-2004. The registry includes all trauma patients admitted and hospitalized due to an injury. Of the 111,010 hospitalized trauma patients, 5886 (5.3%) were diagnosed with maxillofacial or dental injuries. The main causes of injuries for hospitalized trauma patients were falls (48.1%) and motor vehicle accidents (25.2%), while the major causes of facial and dental injuries were vehicle accidents (39.6%, 56.8%, respectively) and falls (32.1%, 26.7%, respectively). High-risk age groups for dental and facial trauma were 10-18 years and 19-28 years, respectively, while for other trauma, ages for the greatest risk ranged from 0 to 9 years and over 59 years. Males were injured two to three times more frequently than females. A better understanding of the etiology of maxillofacial and dental injuries and identifying the high-risk groups should lead to appropriate prevention programs and treatment methods.
颌面损伤是导致发病的一个重要原因，需要精心规划治疗方案。本项多中心研究的目的是评估5年期间牙-牙槽及颌面损伤的发生率。对以色列创伤登记处2000年至2004年的数据进行了一项回顾性队列研究。该登记处包括所有因受伤而入院并住院的创伤患者。在111,010名住院创伤患者中，5886名（5.3%）被诊断为颌面或牙齿损伤。住院创伤患者的主要受伤原因是跌倒（48.1%）和机动车事故（25.2%），而面部和牙齿损伤的主要原因分别是机动车事故（分别为39.6%、56.8%）和跌倒（分别为32.1%、26.7%）。牙齿和面部创伤的高危年龄组分别为10 - 18岁和19 - 28岁，而其他创伤的最高风险年龄范围为0至9岁和59岁以上。男性受伤的频率是女性的两到三倍。更好地了解颌面和牙齿损伤的病因并确定高危人群，应该能够制定出适当的预防方案和治疗方法。
