  • Maxillary anterior region contact sport trauma in a patient having history of proclined maxillary anterior teeth
    Saudi Journal of Sports Medicine, 2017
    Co-Authors: Fareedi Mukram Ali, Muzaffar Ali Khan, Abdul Aziz Mohammed A Faqihi, Fahad Ahmed Mutawwam
    Abstract:

    Trauma to the maxillary central incisors is the most common of all dental injuries. Here we are presenting a case of trauma to the maxillary anterior region while playing football. The patient had Dentoalveolar Fracture and extrusion of the upper central incisors out of their sockets. The upper central incisors of this patient prior to the trauma were proclined and with inadequate lip coverage. In this report we are highlighting the significance of teeth proclination and lip coverage in the predisposition to injury. Proclined anterior teeth with inadequate lip coverage have to be corrected by orthodontic treatment, especially in individuals involved in contact sports.

  • Pattern of assault-induced oral and maxillofacial injuries in Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria
    Nigerian journal of surgery : official publication of the Nigerian Surgical Research Society, 2012
    Co-Authors: Obitade S. Obimakinde
    Abstract:

    Background : Assault, though a major cause of maxillofacial injuries in the developed nations, has not been adequately investigated among Nigerian population. This study aimed to analyze the pattern of maxillofacial injuries caused by assault in our institution. Methods : A descriptive clinical survey of patients with assault-induced oral and maxillofacial injuries presenting to our maxillofacial surgery clinic/emergency ward was carried out. Demographic data and pattern of injuriesobtained from patients’ record and department trauma database were analyzed. Results : 156 patients presented with oral and maxillofacial injuries between October 2009 and December 2010. Thirty-four cases were due to assault and male to female ratio was 1.8:1. The mean age of the patients was 21.4±6.26 years (age range 2–48 years). 23.6% (n=8) of the injuries were due to domestic violence between spouses while 35.3% (n=12) resulted from fight. Students unrest and armed robbery attack accounted for six cases each (17.7%, n=6), while there were two cases due to child battering. 64.3% (n=22) of the injuries sustained involved soft tissues while 35.7% involved hard tissues. Contusion was the most common isolated soft tissue injury accounting for 56% (n=10) while Dentoalveolar Fracture was the most encountered hard tissue injury (62.5%, n=16). Conclusion : There is need for preventive strategies to reduce the incidence of assault-induced maxillofacial injuries. Keywords : Assault, oral and maxillofacial injuries, pattern
