Be careful where you aim: craniomaxillofacial trauma from the utility of metal hammers.

Purpose: A hammer is a popular tool among the "do it yourself" (DIY) population who pursue home-improvement projects. While we are aware that hammers have health hazards, no study has yet to explore the craniomaxillofacial injuries that could arise from the use of hammers. The purpose of this study is to describe the characteristics of craniomaxillofacial injuries from hammers.

Prevalence of Dentofacial Injuries and Concussions Among College Athletes and Their Perceptions of Mouthguards.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the rates of dento-facial injuries and concussions among National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) division 1 college athletes and their perceptions of mouth-guards and their protection role in injury prevention.

Materials And Methods: A specific survey regarding the experiences of dento-facial injuries and concussions, attitudes towards the mouthguards, and knowledge of dental first aid was distributed to 682 NCAA division I college athletes registered at Columbia University. The independent predictor variable was sport type (contact versus noncontact).
