Facial Trauma

Facial trauma refers to injuries involving the bones, skin, tissues, and structures of the face. These injuries may result from accidents, sports, falls, or physical assaults and often require immediate medical and surgical attention. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are uniquely qualified to manage and treat facial trauma, restoring both function and appearance.

Types of Facial Injuries
Facial trauma can range from minor soft tissue injuries to complex fractures of the jaw, cheekbones, or eye sockets. Treatment depends on the type and severity of the injury, and often involves a combination of surgical repair and follow-up care to ensure proper healing and long-term stability.
Facial trauma includes any injury to the face or jaw, such as fractures of the facial bones, lacerations, or dental injuries. These injuries can result in functional and aesthetic concerns, making expert surgical care essential. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are trained to handle the full scope of facial trauma, from diagnosis to complex surgical reconstruction.

Types of Facial Injuries

  • Soft Tissue Injuries: Cuts, lacerations, or abrasions involving the skin and underlying tissue. These are carefully cleaned and sutured to minimize scarring and restore function.
  • Bone Injuries: Fractures of the jaw (mandible), cheekbone (zygoma), eye socket (orbit), or nasal bones. Proper alignment and stabilization are necessary for functional healing.
  • Dental Injuries: Injuries to the teeth or surrounding bone may require splinting, repositioning, or replacement with implants or bridges.
