Article Synopsis
- Helmets are known to reduce head injuries in motorcyclists, but their effectiveness in preventing jaw and tooth injuries is not well understood.
- The study analyzed traffic accident data from 2017 to 2019 involving motorcyclists, finding that only 9.37% of participants wore helmets and that 5.04% sustained jaw and tooth injuries.
- The analysis revealed no significant relationship between helmet use and the prevention of these injuries, suggesting a need for helmet designs that include jaw and tooth protection, as well as wider safety campaigns targeting various demographics.
Background/aim: Post-traumatic stress disorders, depression, and pain are rarely discussed in the literature on maxillofacial injuries, and psychiatric symptoms and pain are not identified and managed in such patients. The aim of this study was to determine the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorders, depression, and pain in people with maxillofacial injuries following motor vehicle accidents.
Material And Methods: In this cross-sectional study, people injured in motor vehicle accidents from March to September 2015 who were referred to a medical educational center in the northern part of Iran for treatment follow-up were sampled.
