Abstract:
In an Austrian study of 14,654 patients with 35,129 injuries treated at a single Department of Cranio-Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery over a 15-year period, the following was seen.1 Older people were more prone to soft tissue lesions with a rising risk of 2.1% per year older, equal in men and women. Younger patients were at higher risk of dentoalveolar trauma with an increase of 4.4% per year younger, and this was 19.6% higher for women. The risk of sustaining facial bone fractures increased each year by 4.6% and was 66.4% times higher in men. A total of 2550 patients (17.4%) suffered 3834 concomitant injuries of other body parts.
