Primary Health Care Road traffic accidents and their effects in the Maxillofacial region.
Traffic accidents hold the highest place regarding the cause of injuries.
In the Oral and Maxillofacial unit of our Hospital a systematic description of the traffic accidents over the last four years was carried out, based on a specific collective data protocol. The types of Facial bones fractures were described as well as, their incidence, the degree of attention the victim exhibited to the traffic safety rules, and the use of restraint belts and helmets, and the mental status of each patient during the injury. The subject of this research focuses in the elaboration of the above mentioned parameters. It is not only interesting from the Maxillofacial point of view, but also for the information it provides on the safety of the traffic connections, the social and financial consequences of the road traffic accidents in our country.
