CLINICAL AND EPIDEMIOLOGICAL STUDY REGARDING PATIENTS WITH CRANIO-MAXILLOFACIAL TRAUMA FROM SIBIU COUNTY CLINICAL EMERGENCY HOSPITAL BETWEEN 2014-2017.

The cranio-maxillofacial region encompasses the soft and hard tissues that form the face from the upper neurocranial bones to the inferior mandible. The face, being the most exposed part of the human body, is frequently subjected to cranio-maxillofacial trauma. Cranio-maxillofacial trauma may cause lesions of soft tissues, bone substrate and dental arches. Cranio-maxillofacial trauma registers an increase, both in terms of their number and complexity, possibly due to the fact that the number of motor vehicles is rising year after year, to the modest infrastructure existing in our country, to the increase of interpersonal violence and the increase of socio-economic activities of the population.
