The initial evaluation in maxillofacial trauma.

Evaluation in maxillofacial trauma is primarily an extension of the art of the physical examination, with inspection, palpation, and evaluation of loss of normal function as the primary requisites. X-ray evaluation is critical, and best results are usually obtained by taking films as soon following the injury as possible, before opacification of the sinus with blood, swelling, or hematoma obscures critical bone landmarks. Primary reduction and surgical management of these fractures can usually be delayed for a reasonable period; however, the most accurate findings on both physical examination and x-ray studies are those obtained as soon as possible after the injury.

Habits affecting dental and maxillofacial growth and development.

In concluding this discussion, it is apparent that altered oral function or rest position may have a significant influence on the developing orofacial region. In the case of non-nutritive sucking habits, the child's commitment and desire to stop the habit is important to the successful elimination of the habit. At times, a hands-off approach is our best approach. Other habits are managed by addressing their cause. We, as dentists, have the ability to influence this process through the proper identification and management of these problems.
