ABSTRACT
Introduction: The successful surgical treatment of maxillofacial fractures consists of early recognition of fractured site, etiologic factors and demographic patterns. In Western Uttar Pradesh, Road Traffic Accidents are leading cause of maxillofacial fractures followed by facial assault. Mandibular fractures followed by upper face fractures are the leading causes of maxillofacial fractures.
Aim and Objectives: The aim of this retrospective study is to investigate the pattern of maxillofacial fractures in western Uttar Pradesh, India
Material and Methods: This study was conducted at Teerthankar Mahaveer Medical College & Research Center and associated Teerthankar Mahaveer Dental College & Research Center, TMU situated on Moradabad -Delhi national highway. Most patients admitted here are referral patients from adjacent territory.
Results: There were about 76% cases of mandibular and 24% cases of mid-face fractures. Among mid-face fractures Zygoma fractures constituted about 35.5% cases. Male to female ratio was found to be 3.5:1.
Conclusion: In conclusion, it seems that RTAs remain the biggest etiological factor of maxillofacial fractures in (Western Uttar Pradesh) India.
Key words: Fractures, Le-Fort, RTA.

ABSTRACT
Odontogenic lesions are diverse pathologies of jaw representing a wide variety of lesions which develop from remnants of tissue associated with odontogenesis. It includes various cysts which are commonly encountered in dental practise and tumours which are relatively uncomon accounting for less than 1%. These can develop at any age and any site of the jaws. They may remain occult or can be aggressive. We report a unique case of extensive multilocular lesion of the mandible with cortical bone expansion and root resorption in a 40 year old female. Although the closest differential diagnosis was ameloblastoma, the histopathological examination revealed a cystic lesion with diverse features which was finally concluded as Keratocystic odontogenic tumour. The present case is unusual in terms of its site of occurrence, presentation and histopathology emphasizing the importance of incisional biopsies from multiple sites in case of extensively large lesions and meticulous histopathological examination of the entire lesion for establishing a final diagnosis.
Keywords: Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumour, Reduced Enamel Epithelium, Anterior Mandible.
