In addition to that inter-personal assaults and sports injuries tip the scale. The incidences of traumatic injuries to the maxillofacial skeleton are increasing with alarm. Statistics show that the maxillofacial injuries make up to about 42% of all forms of injuries. Aesthetics and functional disability bring morbidity to the patient in physical and psychological form. This is of prime concern to the maxillofacial surgeon. Science is always in a state of flux. The treatment options in the management of maxillofacial injuries are numerous and are not without any controversies.
