Objectives: To investigate the epidemiological profile of patients with fractures of the maxillomandibular complex and to understand the perception of these users regarding the maxilomandibular trauma event. Method: Adopted a mixed method, through a quantitative and qualitative approach. Data collection was carried out from July to November 2014 on users’ returns with the Dental Service. We used a semi-structured interview with sociodemographic information from users and three guiding questions. The methodological framework used was the Bardin content analysis and theoretical one was the General Theory of Orem Nursing. Results: There was a predominance of males, young people, victims of motor vehicle accidents, and fractures in the jaw. Conclusions: The results of this study support the conclusion that individuals face trauma and blocking intermaxiliar have deficits in self-care, particularly in aspects of oral hygiene and diet and impaired verbal communication can further compromise the needs.
