Epidemiology of maxillofacial trauma in a university hospital of Kermanshah, Iran

The results of our study depicted that the epidemiology of maxillofacial trauma varies not only from country to country, but also within a country. Treatment protocol has changed during the past 15 years, and like many like other regions, conservative methods have been replaced by open reduction and rigid fixation. The results also showed that the attempts to reduce road traffic-related traumas have not been sufficient and require to be revised.
