Abstract

Incidence of facial bone fractures has increased globally in past few years because of changing life styles, increase number of vehicles, more assaults and same increase has been seen in Paediatrics facial bone fractures as they are also part of our advance world. This research aims to evaluate incidence, etiology, pattern and treatment given to paediatrics mandibular fracture patients in last 10 years at rural hospital of Central Maharashtra. The current retrospective observational research was conducted between 2015 and 2024, which is the last ten years. A total of 276 cases constituting 334 paediatrics mandibular fractures were included for patients between age ranges of 0 to 15 years comprising both the genders. The data extraction was done for demographic variables, etiology, pattern, treatment. The mean (SD) age for incidence of mandibular fractures was 12.6 years comprising 73.18% males. According to our research, the largest rate of mandible fractures occurred in those aged 12 to 15 (40%) and dentoalveolar fractures were the most common. On evaluation it was obfuscated that major etiological factor for trauma leading to facial fractures was history of fall (32%). The pattern of fractures in children as well as their treatment varies lot from adults because of anatomy, presence of deciduous/ mixed dentition, growth spurt. Since long-term consequences may impact skeletal development, which may impact face symmetry and occlusion, treating youngsters can be extremely difficult. When caring for children, the biggest worry is how a treatment or injury may affect how they develop and grow.
