Maxillofacial and dental injuries are not uncommon. These injuries may cause morbidity and demand meticulously planned treatment. Part 1 of this study focused on the incidence of general trauma injuries, as well as facial or dental trauma. The aim of part 2 is to evaluate the severity and location of the dento-alveolar and maxillofacial injuries over 5 years. A retrospective cohort study was conducted based on data from the Israel National Trauma Registry. Patients admitted and hospitalized due to trauma injuries during the years 2000-2004, totaled 111,010 in which 5886 (5.3%) were maxillofacial or dental injuries. Most of these injuries were traffic-related (54.5%), followed by events at home (18.7%). Facial injuries combined with injuries to other organs involved occurred in 3721 (63.2%) of the patients. Most minor injuries were noted when no other organs were involved, while severe injuries were more common when multiple organs were involved. More than 25% of facial injuries required surgery. Meticulous epidemiologic studies are needed to support the leading role, extent, and severity of maxillofacial trauma.
颌面及牙齿损伤并不罕见。这些损伤可能导致发病，需要精心规划治疗方案。本研究的第一部分聚焦于全身创伤性损伤以及面部或牙齿创伤的发生率。第二部分的目的是评估5年间牙-牙槽及颌面损伤的严重程度和部位。基于以色列国家创伤登记处的数据进行了一项回顾性队列研究。2000年至2004年期间因创伤性损伤入院并住院的患者共计111,010例，其中5886例（5.3%）为颌面或牙齿损伤。这些损伤大多与交通相关（54.5%），其次是在家中发生的事件（18.7%）。3721例（63.2%）患者存在面部损伤并伴有其他器官损伤。当没有其他器官受累时，多数为轻伤，而当多个器官受累时，重伤更为常见。超过25%的面部损伤需要手术治疗。需要进行细致的流行病学研究来证实颌面创伤的主导作用、范围和严重程度。
