The Nature Of Maxillofacial Trauma
There are a number of possible causes of facial trauma such as
motor vehicle accidents, accidental falls, sports injuries,
interpersonal violence, and work-related injuries. Types of facial
injuries can range from injuries of teeth to extremely severe injuries
of the skin and bones of the face. Typically, facial injuries are
classified as either soft tissue injuries (skin and gums), bone injuries
(fractures), or injuries to special regions (such as the eyes, facial
nerves or the salivary glands).
