Understanding facial fractures and their impact on oral health and function

Fractures to the facial bones are a serious injury. These fractures can involve the lower jaw (mandible), upper jaw (maxilla), palate, cheekbones (zygomas), eye sockets (orbits), frontal bone (forehead), nasal bones or a combination of these bones.

Teeth also can be affected, leading to changes in their alignment and occlusion. Injuries to the face can have major implications, affecting the ability to breathe, speak, swallow and chew. Treatment commonly involves hospitalization to address these complex injuries.
