Abstract

Young kids are generally under parental supervision in safe settings and are therefore less probable to be subjected to significant accidents, occupational trauma, or interpersonal violence typical of adult facial fractures. Understanding the causes, seriousness and particular features of paediatric fractures is vital to avoid esthetic and functional deficits and will enhance our capacity to avoid accidents.
