Results:
The ratio of men and women was 1.13:1, with an average age of 35.71 years. The highest incidence was seen in October 2018, and the lowest was in February 2017. The peak time of oral emergency was 20:00 to 21:00. The top three disease entity were maxillofacial injury (29.17%), facial infection (26.95%) and pulpitis (10.08%).
