During 2008 the maxillofacial traumas have taken the second place among the inflammatory processes. The associated maxillofacial traumas represented 37.25% of total patients. Cranium cerebral traumas associated with the facial traumas represented 79.26% and traumas associated with alcoholism – 21.24%. The treatment of facial trauma is a period of 7 days in bed. On the first place are the mandible fractures that are followed by facial lesions, and the naso-ethmoid are placed on the third place. Complex zygomatic fractures are on the fourth place and the last place is taken by those of the upper jaw.
