چکیده

In our recent study (Bamjee, 1993; Bamjee et at.. 1996), the prevalence of maxillofacial injuries in a South African paedi­ atric population was investigated. In an analysis of 4 192 facial trauma cases, approximately 8 per cent of patients were children under 18 years of age and fewer than 3 percent were children 12 years of age or less. Several substantial reviews (Rowe, 1968; Hoof and Merkx, 1977; Adeykeye, 1980; Ellis et al., 1985) of facial trauma have concurred with these low figures and have reported an incidence of facial fractures in children ranging from 3 to 14 per cent.
