Oral Maxillofac Surg 2019; 24:31-36. [PMID: 31728659 DOI: 10.1007/s10006-019-00811-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2019] [Accepted: 10/09/2019] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between the status and position of third molars, and the presence of mandibular angle and/or condylar fractures, in a group of patients treated for mandibular fractures, thus hoping to contribute to the knowledge of potential predictors of these fractures. METHODS A retrospective study was designated to include all the patients who were diagnosed and treated with open reduction and internal fixation for isolated mandibular angle fractures or isolated mandibular condylar fractures between 1st of January 2012 and 31st of December 2018. The following data were collected for each included patient: gender, age, etiology, site and side of the fracture, and presence and eruption state of third molars in the fracture side. RESULTS Seventy patients were diagnosed with a condylar fracture, 48 with an angle fracture. No statistically significant difference was observed as for etiology and gender distribution between angle fracture and condyle fracture patients (p > 0.05). Angle fractures were statistically associated with the presence of third molars, whereas condylar fractures with the absence of third molars (p < 0.000005). The presence of completely erupted 3Ms was associated with condylar fractures (p < 0.05), and partially impacted 3Ms were associated with angle fractures (p < 0.0005). CONCLUSIONS Mandibular angle fractures and third molar presence are associated in patients who present with mandibular fractures, especially if the third molar is incompletely erupted. This information should be kept in consideration as for the diagnosis and management of patients with mandibular fractures.

Epidemiology of maxillofacial trauma in the elderly: A European multicenter study. JOURNAL OF STOMATOLOGY, ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY 2019; 121:330-338. [PMID: 31533064 DOI: 10.1016/j.jormas.2019.09.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2019] [Revised: 08/30/2019] [Accepted: 09/04/2019] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The progressive aging of European population seems to determine a change in the epidemiology, incidence and etiology of maxillofacial fractures with an increase in the frequency of old patients sustaining craniofacial trauma. The objective of the present study was to assess the demographic variables, causes, and patterns of facial fractures in elderly population (with 70 years or more). MATERIALS AND METHODS The data from all geriatric patients (70 years or more) with facial fractures between January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2017, were collected. The following data were recorded for each patient: gender, age, voluptuary habits, comorbidities, etiology, site of facial fractures, synchronous body injuries, Facial Injury Severity Score (FISS). RESULTS A total of 1334 patients (599 male and 735 female patients) were included in the study. Mean age was 79.3 years, and 66% of patients reported one or more comorbidities. The most frequent cause of injury was fall and zygomatic fractures were the most frequently observed injuries. Falls were associated with a low FISS value (P<.005). Concomitant injuries were observed in 27.3% of patients. Falls were associated with the absence of concomitant injuries. The ninth decade (P<.05) and a high FISS score (P<.005) were associated with concomitant body injuries too. CONCLUSIONS This study confirms the role of falls in the epidemiology of facial trauma in the elderly, but also highlights the frequency of involvement of females, and the high frequency of zygomatic fractures.

[PMID: 31377074 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcms.2019.07.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2019] [Revised: 05/17/2019] [Accepted: 07/14/2019] [Indexed: 10/26/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to assess and discuss our experience with a teleradiology technique applied to facial trauma patients referred to an oral and maxillofacial surgery hub center. MATERIALS AND METHODS All trauma patients with maxillofacial fractures from the hospitals of Vercelli, Biella, Borgosesia, Borgomanero, Verbania, and Domodossola who were referred between July 2014 and September 2018 to the hub maxillofacial center of Novara were reviewed. The following data were recorded for each patient: sex, age, referral hospital, etiology, etiology mechanisms, site of facial fractures, date of injury, indications for surgery according to teleradiology consultation, indications for surgery following clinical maxillofacial assessment, date of eventual surgery, timing of surgery from trauma, type of surgical intervention. RESULTS A total of 467 patients with a total of 605 fractures were triaged and managed by the Tempore telemedicine system. The most frequent cause of maxillofacial injury was fall. The most frequently observed fracture involved the zygoma. Following remote computed tomography assessment, surgical indications were suggested in 68 patients; 223 patients were not considered suitable candidates for surgery; and 176 patients needed a clinical assessment for the establishment of definitive eventual indications for surgery. Following clinical assessment, the absence and presence of surgical indications was confirmed in all 223 and 68 patients, respectively. Within the 176 patients with "possible" surgical indications, only 27 patients were referred for surgery. CONCLUSION Teleradiology may be helpful for an appropriate triaging of trauma patients from peripheral hospitals for the correct referral to a maxillofacial trauma hub center.

Psychological profiles in patients undergoing orthognathic surgery or rhinoplasty: a preoperative and preliminary comparison. Oral Maxillofac Surg 2019; 23:179-186. [PMID: 31016403 DOI: 10.1007/s10006-019-00758-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2018] [Accepted: 04/12/2019] [Indexed: 10/27/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess, identify, and compare the personality traits and psychosocial status of two groups of patients undergoing orthognathic surgery and rhinoseptoplasty respectively. STUDY DESIGN This prospective study recruited patients referred for orthognathic surgery and for rhinoseptoplasty. The research protocol included the administrations of questionnaires to the patients during their last visit before surgery, including the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI-2), the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), the tree drawing test (or Baum test), and the BC Scale. RESULTS As for MMPI-2, the highest (pathological) percentages were encountered in Hypochondriasis and Psychasthenia scales within the Orthognathic Surgery Group, whereas in the rhinoseptoplasty group, the highest scores were obtained in the Hypochondriasis, Psychasthenia, Psychopathic Deviate, and Schizophrenia scales. CONCLUSIONS It would be important to assess some characteristics of the patients' mental health and emotional state prior to surgery, including depression, anxiety, panic, and aggression. The overview of these factors may give an insight into the psychological and emotional capacity of the patients undergoing orthognathic and rhinoseptoplasty surgery.
