ABSTRACT
A descriptive, cross sectional and observational study of 335 patients with maxillofacial
skeletal lesions due to different causes, assisted in the Maxillofacial Surgery Service
from "Saturnino Lora Torres" Clinical Surgical Teaching Provincial Hospital in Santiago
from Cuba was carried out from January, 2009 to December, 2010, with the aim of
characterizing them according to the anatomical qualifiers of trauma severity, in
relation to the injury mechanism and the topographical diagnosis of them. In the series
the patients with 3 or more skeletal injuries (37.9%), pure or combined with the soft
tissue of the orofacial component, as well as moderate injuries (60.0%) prevailed. In
the polyinjured patients, severe lesions prevailed without danger for life (16-24 points)
and the severe ones with danger for the life (25-40 points). On the other hand, the
middle facial third turned out to be the anatomical region where the severe lesions
were more frequently located with and without danger for life; while the moderate and
light individual lesions prevailed in this same anatomical region.
