Abstract

Although multifactorial, assaults and falls are principally reported as the main causes(2). Over the past 3–4 decades etiology of maxillofacial trauma has been changing and continues to do so . For instance, Motor vehicle accidents (MVA) are more common in developing countries, where as assault and other causes have outnumbered MVA in developed countries(3,4) . Study of facio maxillary trauma help in assessing proficiency of road safety measures, women protection acts and access to treatment.
