Facial trauma is also known as maxillofacial trauma. It’s a physical trauma to the face. Facial trauma can incorporate soft tissue injuries like burns, lacerations and bruises or fractures of the facial bones such as nasal fractures and fractures of the jaw, as well as trauma such as eye injuries. Oral and maxillofacial injuries are usually common in instances of polytrauma like road traffic accidents. Initial evaluation and care must encompass examining and protecting essential functions and need to be achieved systematically.

Oro maxfacial injuries are treated by oral and maxillofacial surgeons who treat conditions such as injuries, defects, injuries and esthetic aspects of the mouth, teeth, jaws and face.
