The maxillofacial traumatology offers a brilliant etiological, clinical, and healing range. A ballistic injury, because of a firearm or via way of means of the surprising explosion of ammunition, is not often neat, clean, and predictable: because of a good sized smooth tissue and bone loss from the impact, this kind of facial trauma represents a task for reconstructive surgical treatment and for the very last aesthetic and practical rehabilitation. The harm that a bullet creates is unpredictable, and the control in making plans and reconstructing a annoying disorder calls for a multi-step method and a multidisciplinary team. In addition to the widespread damages to each smooth and tough tissues, gunshot wounds purpose deleterious bodily and psychiatric effects, representing a complicated set of demanding situations for the maxillofacial surgeon, the oral surgeon, the prosthodontist, and, sometimes, for the psychologist or psychiatrist. In maximum cases, maxillofacial gunshot accidents might not bring about a life-threatening trauma however are regularly related to extreme aesthetic modifications, masticatory dysfunction, or speech- or deglutition-associated issues: rehabilitating such sufferers may be irritating and challenging, so we want to generalize and standardize our remedy plan [1].

The rehabilitation of sufferers who tried suicide because of mental trauma and to the devastating final results of selfinflicted ballistic trauma have to recollect each psychologic and anatomical problems: fine emotional assist is as essential because the surgical and prosthodontic control of the defects. There is a lack of stories associated with the control of gunshot accidents withinside the maxillofacial region. However, wartime-associated accidents are mainly defined withinside the literature, making it hard to use those statistics to civilians because of dissimilarities in wound infection and wounding capacity of firearms and ammunition: gunshot accidents in civilians need to be taken into consideration as wonderful entities [2].

The nature and the severity of a ballistic trauma rely upon many factors: the quality of the weapon; the taking pictures distance; and the size, the form, the rate of the shrapnel and its fragments however additionally the traits of the tissue via elasticity, density, and their anatomical relationships. Because of the range and the complexity of facial gunshot accidents, a scientific set of rules is essential; it's miles consequently additionally essential, for the right remedy of those sufferers, now no longer most effective the know-how of fashionable traumatology however additionally of the technical elements regarding firearms, the composition and the form of the cartridges, ballistics, and traits of gunshot wounds. The intention of this look at is to outline the pleasant control of maxillofacial ballistic accidents and to explain a standardized, surgical, and prosthetic, rehabilitation protocol from the primary emergency level up till the entire aesthetic and practical rehabilitation [3].

Ballistic traumas aren't so uncommon. Firearm-associated accidents constitute 16% of the overall traumatology and are one of the primary reasons of demise and disability. Recent research nation that about 32,000 deaths and 67,000 accidents are because of firearms every year. Male sufferers are maximum regularly worried, representing 80% of the gunshot wound patient’s population. Approximately twothirds of gunshot accidents are because of a unmarried gunshot wound, ensuing in 11% mortality inside 24 h after trauma. Ballistic accidents are answerable for 2–6% of facial fractures; indeed, head and neck are one of the maximum normally affected areas: extra than 50% of tried suicides, 14% of assaults, and 12% of unintended accidents. A retrospective evaluate of almost 4100 gunshot wounds determined that approximately 6% worried the face. The maximum not unusual place mode is ballistic projectiles and gunshot wounds (41.4%), observed via way of means of splinter and shrapnel accidents from improvised explosive gadgets blasts (39.2%) [4].

Generally, weapon accidents are labeled as low-speed and high-speed accidents relying on the rate of impact. Low-speed wounds, with a projectile speed of much less than six hundred m/s (<2000>2000 fts), are related to widespread tough and smooth tissue disruption and are characterized via way of means of a surrounding place of necrotic tissue because of a compromised blood deliver and sepsis: the final results is commonly fatal. Suggested that with high-electricity weapons, all fractures have been entire and comminuted; via way of means of comparison, for low-electricity weapons, 60% of the fractures have been incomplete, and most effective 22% have been multi-fragmentary. Clark et al. prominent among avulsive and non-avulsive accidents primarily based totally at the electricity transferred via way of means of the bullet. Avulsive accidents provoked via way of means of high-depth ballistic traumas purpose a good sized destruction and lack of each tough and smooth tissue, ensuing in a more reconstructive task. In nonavulsive accidents, due to low-depth ballistic trauma, the bulk of smooth tissue remains [5].
