    Abstract

    Introduction: Computed Tomography (CT) has revolutionized medical imaging, particularly in anatomically complex regions like the maxillofacial region. It stands as the preferred investigation for assessing facial bone fractures resulting from trauma. Objective Frequency and Type of Fractures: To Describe the frequency and types of fractures in patients with maxillofacial injuries using multislice CT and 3D reconstruction. Comparison of Imaging Modalities: To Compare the utility of three-dimensional (3D) reconstructed images with two-dimensional axial images in evaluating maxillofacial injuries. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study involved 180 patients (100 men, 80 women; Age: 10-65 years) with a history of maxillofacial trauma. A 128-slice CT scanner was utilized, and both axial and 3D images were reconstructed, including coronal Multiplanar Reconstruction (MPR).
