Children and adolescents are frequently victims of oral and maxillofacial trauma. The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics of oral and maxillofacial trauma that resulted in police records, in children and adolescents aged between 0 and 16 years during a period of 5 years. Among the 28,200 reports analyzed, 463 were included in the study. The men:women ratio observed was 1.6:1 and the most prevalent age range was between 15-16 years (44.40%). Most trauma cases resulted from physical assault (64.50%) and culminated in soft-tissue lesion (80.36%). Excoriations (28.64%) leaded as the most frequent type of lesion, and the maxillary region (22.63%) was the most common location of injury. The most common type of dental lesion was dental trauma (54.76%), and bone fractures prevailed in the nasal region (36.7%). The findings of this survey may contribute to plan and execute preventive measures as well as to guide curative measures aimed at this population group.
儿童和青少年经常是口腔颌面部创伤的受害者。本研究的目的是确定在5年期间0至16岁儿童和青少年中导致警方记录的口腔颌面部创伤的特征。在分析的28200份报告中，463份被纳入研究。观察到的男女比例为1.6:1，最普遍的年龄范围是15 - 16岁（44.40%）。大多数创伤病例是由人身攻击导致的（64.50%），最终以软组织损伤为主（80.36%）。擦伤（28.64%）是最常见的损伤类型，上颌区域（22.63%）是最常见的受伤部位。最常见的牙齿损伤类型是牙外伤（54.76%），鼻骨骨折在鼻部区域最为常见（36.7%）。本次调查结果可能有助于规划和实施预防措施，以及指导针对该人群的治疗措施。
