Popis: Objective: The increasing significance of medicolegal evaluation following maxillofacial traumatic events constitutes a complex issue. This clinical research aimed to assess the current etiology of oral and maxillofacial injuries in Portuguese population. Material and methods: An epidemiological clinical observational study was conducted in Centro Hospitalar Lisboa Norte on a sample of 384 subjects diagnosed with oral and maxillofacial trauma, between 2018 and 2020. Data were collected through clinical reports and analyzed using SPSS version 27. Results: Women and men were nearly identical in the number and distribution, with 49.5% females and 50.5% males. In 2020, there was a decrease in the number of traumatic incidents compared to other years. Falls or accidental descents were found to be the most common cause of injury, accounting for 44.3%, followed by assaults accounting for 24.7%. A total of 84 subjects exhibited soft tissue injuries related to periodontal region. The upper central incisors (174) were the most frequently affected teeth with uncomplicated fractures, and the predominant form of treatment was the administration of pain medication. Conclusion: A correlation between falls or accidental descents, female subjects, and advancing age, as well as between assaults, male subjects, and adults, has been established. Falls or accidental descents and assault were the predominant etiologies, and the year 2020 exhibited a decrease in the incidents of traumatic events.
Cilj: Sve veće značenje sudsko-medicinske evaluacije nakon maksilofacijalnih traumatskih događaja složeno je pitanje. Autorima ovoga kliničkoga istraživanja cilj je bio procijeniti trenutačnu etiologiju oralnih i maksilofacijalnih ozljeda u portugalskoj populaciji. Materijal i metode: Epidemiološ-ka klinička opservacijska studija provedena je između 2018. i 2020. godine u Kliničkome bolničkom centru Lisabon-sjever na uzorku od 384 ispitanika s dijagnosticiranom oralnom i maksilofacijalnom traumom. Podatci su prikupljeni iz kliničkih izvješća i analizirani u SPSS verziji 27. Rezultati: Muški i ženski ispitanici bili su gotovo izjednačeni u broju i distribuciji – sudjelovalo je 49,5 % žena i 50,5 % muškaraca. U 2020. godini zabilježen je pad broja traumatskih incidenata u odnosu prema ostalim godinama. Ustanovljeno je da su padovi ili slučajna spuštanja najčešći uzrok ozljeda – čine 44,3 %, a slijede napadi koji čine 24,7 %. Ukupno 84 ispitanika imalo je ozljede mekog tkiva u parodontnoj regiji. Gornji središnji sjekutići (174) bili su najčešće zahvaćeni kad je riječ o nekompliciranim prijelomima, a prevladavajući oblik liječenja bili su lijekovi protiv bolova. Zaključak: Utvrđena je korelacija između padova ili slučajnih silazaka, ženskih subjekata i starije dobi, te između napada muških subjekata i odraslih. Padovi ili slučajni padovi i napadi bili su dominantni uzroci, a u 2020. godini smanjio se broj traumatskih događaja.
