Background:The face is more prone to trauma, being the most exposed part of the body. Over the last three decades, there has been a growing increase of trauma.

Objectives: This research aims to identify the kinds of assistance and the profiles of the assisted between 1998 and 2012 at the maxillofacial surgery service at Odilon Behrens Hospital.

Methods: A retrospective and descriptive study was conducted at Odilon Behrens Municipal Hospital in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, based on reports at appointments completed by the maxillofacial surgery team, using survey data from a total of 2,920 patients registered for control. The assessment took into account treatments performed in 1998 compared to 2012. The data analysed essentially included diagnosis and hands-on management in our service.

Results: After evaluation, the results obtained showed an increase in cases from 1998 to 2012 due to aetiologies such as: fall from height, orofacial pain, motorcycle accidents, odontogenic infections, accident with objects, oedema, epistaxis and household accidents; in contrast, a significant reduction in cases between 1998 and 2012 was observed in the following aetiologies: cycling accident, automobile accident, facial trauma, pedestrian injury from vehicles, accident involving animals.

Conclusion: Our research indicates that the ratio of 2:1 male/female patients in 1998, decreased to 55:1 in 2012. Although there were slight variation sin aetiology and diagnoses, in general our results remain the same when comparing 1998 to 2012.
