Abstract

Introduction: In patients with maxillo-facial trauma, since the anatomical structure of maxillo-facial region directly related to the oral cavity, the risk of infection is high, making it more difficult to treat. The oral health care for preoperative patients with maxillo-facial trauma needs to be treated to minimize oral sore and the risk of infection, as well as to enhance treatment efficiency. Materials and methods: A descriptive progressive study was conducted on 627 patients with maxilla-facial trauma patient in Odonto-Stomatology Center, Hue Central Hospital from January 2020 to October 2020. Results: Average age group of patients was 18-39 years old (51.2%), of which 414 males (66%) and 213 females (34%). The traffic accidents were the most common causes of maxilla-facial trauma (82.5%). Common clinical symptoms included pain (71.3%), swelling (68.9%), limitation of mouth opening (67%), face deformation (49.8%) and bleeding (35.9%). The most commonly used oral health care methods consisted of oral hygiene instructions (100%), scrape tartar (92.2%), and the use of diode laser in periodontitis treatment (72.9%). Our study showed that the treatment outcomes were good (95.9%) and fairly good (4.1%) (p<0.05). Conclusion: Maxillo-facial trauma patients before operating need to be treated by proper oral health care methods to reach better treatment outcomes, and as well as improve satisfaction of patients.
