Objectives: To determine the various patterns of maxillofacial fractures in patients presenting at CMH, Peshawar
Study Design: Cross-sectional study
Place and Duration of Study: 30-Military Dental Center, CMH, Peshawar Pakistan, from Sep 2021 to Mar 2022.
Methodology: A total of 207 patients from all age groups, both genders, presenting with any features of maxillofacial fracture due to accidental injuries were included. A thorough history and clinical and radiographic examination were carried out, along with a diagnosis of suspected facial fractures per clinical presentation and radiographic assessment.

falls, 13(6.28%) assaults, 16(7.73%) sports injuries and 6(2.90%) gunshot wounds. The different bones involved were 38(18.36%) injuries of the frontal bone, 48(23.19%) in the maxilla, 42(20.29%) in nasal, (14.01%) in NOE, 110(53.14%) in zygoma and 122(58.94%) injuries included mandible bone.
Conclusion: Roadside accidents are the most common aetiology of maxillofacial fracture, and the mandible is the most
commonly involved bone in such fracture.
