Study Reveals Critical Link Between Maxillofacial Injuries and Traumatic Brain Injuries in Paediatric Patients

Posted: December 26, 2024
A recent case-control study highlighted the significant association between maxillofacial injuries and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) in paediatric patients. The research emphasized the importance of screening paediatric patients with maxillofacial injuries for TBIs, as the risk is 2.5 times higher in these cases compared to injuries in other body parts. Factors such as road traffic accidents (RTA) and prolonged hospital stays were linked to TBIs in this patient group. Notably, the presence of dentoalveolar injuries was found to decrease the likelihood of TBIs. Dental professionals should be vigilant in assessing and managing TBIs in paediatric patients with maxillofacial injuries.
