The COVID-19 pandemic between the years 2020-2023 caused multiple sanitary measures and different public policies that had a direct impact on the incidence of maxillofacial trauma. Maxillofacial fractures occur frequently on daily activities, as accidents such of traffic, work, social, sports, among others, where all were fully restricted in the pandemic period. The objective of thisstudy has been to evaluate how the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and related public health measures have impacted the incidence and characteristics of maxillofacial fractures. The following investigation consists of a retrospective, descriptive analysis of patients with surgically resolved maxillofacial fractures operated under general anesthesia by the Maxillofacial Surgery and Traumatology team of the Instituto Traumatologico Dr. Teodoro Gebauer Weisser during the COVID-19 pandemic, between the date’s march 11, 2020 until may 5, 2023, the start and end dates of the pandemic decreed by the World Health Organization. The most affected patients were male and between 20 and 40 years of age, mainly caused by second- or third-party aggression. The most affected facial third was the lower one, while the diagnosis with the highest occurrence rate was mandibular angle fracture. This study represents an initial analysis of maxillofacial trauma in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the fact that our results partially coincide with the global context, a greater number of studies and statistical analyzes are suggested to better understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in maxillofacial trauma. There is still no information supported in the national scientific literature that supports the reason why these changes occurred in Chile and despite the existence of various hypotheses, comparative studies are required in relation to the previous years of the pandemic with those of the pandemic to obtain an analysis of the national situation.
