Abstract

There were an estimated 5.9 million episodes of care for orofacial trauma in the U.S. private practice sector in 1991. More than 4 million were seen by general dental practitioners, the rest by specialists. An in-depth understanding of the injuries and the extent and cost of the care could establish a focused injury prevention strategy.
