AB Patients  with  maxillofacial  trauma  are  seen  everyday  in  emergency  rooms  throughout  the  United  States.  The  cause  of  the  trauma  can  be  quite  variable,  ranging  from  industrial  and  motor  vehicle  accidents  to  interpersonal  trauma  involving  either  fists  or  weapons.  It  is  common  for  trauma  to  be  related  to  substance  abuse  or  to  behavior  that  can  be  linked  to  substance  abuse.  Sometimes  trauma  is  related  to  sports  activities  or  simply  to  accidental  or  work-related  occurrences.  The  principles  of  management  are  directed  at  stabilizing  a  patient's  medical  condition  and  providing  safe  reconstruction  to  maximize  both  functional  and  aesthetic  rehabilitation.
