BACKGROUND/AIMS: Road traffic accidents are considered a major cause of oral and maxillofacial trauma. Given that many traumatic injuries and deaths involve motorcyclists, the aim of this study was to investigate this vulnerable group in terms of oral and maxillofacial injuries following accidents.
This cross-sectional study was conducted on 330 patients with oral and maxillofacial injuries at Shahid Rajaee Hospital in Shiraz, Iran, from April to September 2017. A questionnaire with questions regarding age, gender, helmet use, and driver's license was completed for all the patients and their injury type (including dental injuries). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the chi-squared test with a significance level of 95%.
Of the 330 patients, 291 (88.2%) were male and 39 (11.8%) were female. There were 283 (85.75%) patients aged 21-30 years, and their mean age was 27.2 ± 6.5. Most of them (287, 87%) had not been wearing helmets at the time of the accident. Dental injuries were observed in 168 (50.9%) of the patients. Uncomplicated crown fractures were diagnosed in 25.4% of the patients, luxation injuries in 23.2%, and avulsion in 18.9%. Only 19.9% of the patients under the age of 25 had suffered facial injuries.
Most injuries in motorcycle accidents were dental trauma in men due to not wearing a helmet. Dental injuries had the highest frequency of damage.
背景/目的：道路交通事故被认为是口腔颌面部创伤的主要原因。鉴于许多创伤性损伤和死亡涉及摩托车手，本研究的目的是调查这一弱势群体在事故后口腔颌面部损伤方面的情况。
本横断面研究于2017年4月至9月在伊朗设拉子的沙希德拉贾伊医院对330例口腔颌面部损伤患者进行。为所有患者填写了一份关于年龄、性别、头盔使用情况和驾驶执照的问卷，并记录了他们的损伤类型（包括牙齿损伤）。数据采用描述性统计和显著性水平为95%的卡方检验进行分析。
330例患者中，男性291例（88.2%），女性39例（11.8%）。年龄在21 - 30岁的患者有283例（85.75%），平均年龄为27.2 ± 6.5岁。他们中的大多数（287例，87%）在事故发生时未戴头盔。168例（50.9%）患者出现牙齿损伤。25.4%的患者被诊断为单纯冠折，23.2%为牙脱位损伤，18.9%为牙撕脱。25岁以下的患者中只有19.9%面部受伤。
摩托车事故中的大多数损伤是男性因未戴头盔导致的牙齿创伤。牙齿损伤的发生率最高。
