Maxillofacial trauma and pathologies refer to any injury or disease that affects the head, face, or neck area. Any trauma or illness affecting the head, face, or neck is called a maxillofacial disorder. These illnesses vary widely from tiny abrasions and bruises to severe fractures and even fatal infections. The maxillofacial region is a complex anatomical area essential for speaking, eating, breathing, and facial expression. Hence, any illness or injury in this area may significantly impact a person’s quality of life.
