[Radiographic examination of middle face fractures].
Radiography plays a critical role in the management of traumatic injuries to the facial bones. Injuries of the face and jaws require highly specialized technical treatment that is directed toward the establishment of normal function of the jaws and teeth and the prevention of infection and facial disfigurement. The face and especially the jaws present unusual difficulty in Radiographic examination and many different projections have been described to show the maxilla and the mandible. The clinician should be familiar with these projections in order to achieve useful information. In this study after a brief introduction to the fractures of the middle third of the face, the basic projections for the radiographic examination are presented.
