Maxillofacial Injuries
• Treatment divided into following phasesEmergency or initial careEarly careDefinitive careSecondary care or revision
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Emergency Care
• Preserve the airway• Control of hemorrhage• Prevent or control shock• C-Spine stabilization• Control of life-threatening injuries
head injuries, chest injuries, compound limb fractures, intra-abdominal bleeding
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Emergency Care
• Evaluate the airwayExistence & identification of obstructionManually clear of fractured teeth, blood
clots, denturesEndotracheal intubation & packing of
oronasal airway
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Emergency Care• Airway Management
Maintain an intact airwayProtect airway in jeopardyProvide an airway
• C-Spine injury may be present• Altered level of consciousness is the
most common cause of upper airway obstruction
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Airway Management• Chin lift to open intact
airway• Intubation
Oral: C-spine injury absent on X ray
Nasotracheal intubation: C-spine injury suspected or certain
• Surgical AirwayCricothyroidotomyTracheosotomy
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Emergency Care• Extensive vascularity of head & neck
may lead to massive blood lossMonitor vital signs closelyIntravenous infusion
• Penetrating injuries need to be exploredArteriogramEsophagram
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Treatment of Blood Loss & Shock• Hemorrhage most common cause of
shock after injury• Multiple injury patients have hypovolemia• Goal is to restore organ
perfusion
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Treatment of Blood Loss & Shock• External bleeding controlled by direct
pressure over bleeding site• Gain prompt access to vascular
system with IV catheters• Fluid replacement
Ringer’s LactateNormal salineTransfusion
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Stabilization of associated injuries• C-spine injury is primary concern
with all maxillofacial trauma victimsAny patient with injury above clavicle or
head injury resulting in unconscious state
Any injury produced by high speedSigns/symptoms of C-Spine injury
Neurologic deficitNeck pain

the level of major fracture linesAllows references regarding the
probable points of stability for surgical treatment
Does not incorporate vertical or segmental fractures, comminution or bone loss

Facial Examination• Evaluate for laceration• Obvious depression in skull• Asymmetry• Discharge from nose or ear
Assume CSF leak• Palpation to note bone
discontinuityBimanually in systematic
manner
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Facial Examination• Evaluate mandibular
opening• Palpation of buccal vestibule
Crepitus of lateral antral wall• Occlusion evaluated
Absence and quality of dentition noted
• Ecchymosis common finding• Pharynx evaluated for
laceration & bleeding

Treatment of Midface Fractures
• Once patient’s condition stabilized, no need to rush to surgeryAddress rapidly
developing edemaFormulate treatment planObserve sequelae in the
case of orbital injuries
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Diagnosis of Lefort I Fractures
• Direction of force• Maxilla displaced
posteriorly and inferiorlyOpen bite deformity
• Hypoesthesia of infraorbital nerve
• Malocclusion• Mobility of maxilla
Noted by grasping maxillary incisors
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Treatment of Lefort I FracturesDirect exposure of all
involved fracturesReduction and anatomic
realignment of the maxillary buttresses to reestablishAnterior projectionTransverse widthOcclusion
Restoration of occlusion using IMF
Internal fixation using miniplate fixation
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Treatment of Lefort I Fractures
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Diagnosis of Lefort II and III• Clinical evaluation provides only a
rough impression since swelling hides the underlying bony structures
• Plain film radiographs and axial and coronal CT images are the basis for precise diagnosis & treatment plan
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Diagnosis Lefort II and III
• Bilateral periorbital edema & ecchymosis
• Step deformity palpated infraorbital & nasofrontal area
• CSF rhinorrhea• Epistaxis
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Treatment of Lefort II and III• Fractures should be treated as early as
the general condition of the patient allows
• Team approach to treatmentNeurosurgeryOphthamologyENTPlastic surgeryOral/Maxillofacial surgery
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Treatment of Lefort II and III• Intubation must not interfere with ability
to use IMF• Exposure & visualization of all fractures

are the key to reconstruction and
provide the foundation upon
which other facial structures are built

Usually not isolated eventFrequently associated with
multiple midface fracturesSecondary to traumatic
insult to radix area of noseLow resistance to
directional force35-80 gm necessary to
produce fracture

Nasal-Orbital-Ethmoid Fractures• Clinical signs & symptoms
Traumatic telecanthusDifficult to measure due to
edema– Average 33-34 mm
Can measure interpupillary distance and divide in half for approximate intercanthal distance– Average 60-65 mm
Damage to lacrimal apparatus-epiphora
CSF leak

• Surgical considerationsDefinitive surgery as
soon as possible after:Appropriate
consultationsDefinitive radiographic
imagingSignificant edema

Nasal-Orbital-Ethmoid Fractures
• Surgical considerationsThe final phase involves reduction of
the NOE and nasal bone fracturesAccess to NOE through existing
lacerations, bicoronal flap, or local incisions
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Nasal-Orbital-Ethmoid Fractures• Lacrimal system injury
When the medial canthal ligament has been injured or displaced, damage to the lacrimal system should be assumed
Nasolacrimal duct is often damaged within its bony course
Epiphora: Need to evaluate patency of the nasolacrimal system
