ABSTRACT: Objective: Maxillofacial injuries are one of the commonest
injuries encountered. Roentgenographic
evaluation of maxillofacial trauma is of prime importance for diagnosis and
treatment of these injuries. Study Design: Forty patients were evaluated in the
prospective four-year study. We studied and evaluated the demography and
diagnostic efficacy of clinical, plain radiography, and computed scan in
maxillofacial trauma. Result: Road traffic accidents were the commonest cause
of maxillofacial injuries. Patients having multiple fractures, mandibular
fractures were the commonest. Conclusion: Computed tomography proved a useful
adjunct in midfacial trauma.
