  • Title: Management of traumatic facial injuries.
    Author: Silegy T, Scheer P.
    Journal: J Calif Dent Assoc; 2004 Oct; 32(10):839-43. PubMed ID: 15622709.
    Abstract:
    Whether minor or major, traumatic injuries to the maxillofacial area have far-reaching physical and emotional effects. Because the dentition dictates facial form and function, the oral and maxillofacial surgeon, a dental specialist with a minimum of four years of hospital-based surgical training, is uniquely qualified to manage these injuries. At times, the expertise of the general dentist and other dental specialists may be needed to provide definitive care. Several cases are provided to illustrate management of facial trauma.
