ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To analyze the characteristics of emergency facial trauma in children and mother's cognition on it.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Descriptive analysis was undertaken for 216 children with maxillofacial trauma. The analysis included age distributions of the children, reasons and places for the trauma, and positions and severity degrees of the trauma. The questionnaires were carried out for the patients' mothers, to understand the cognition degrees and prognosis factors.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Most of the patients with facial trauma were aged 1-6, with the male and female ratio of 1.41. Falls were the leading cause for the maxillofacial injuries(83.33%). The most common types of injury were the soft tissue injuries (63.43%) and the teeth injuries (31.94%), the jaw fractures were least. 50.00% accidents occurred at home. 97.22% mothers had no knowledge of the facial injuries in children. 69.44% mothers thought it avoidable. It were relevant between mothers' educations and injuries times (chi2 = 18.16, P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Mothers lack the knowledge is one of the most important reasons for the maxillofacial injuries in children. Propaganda should be increased among them to reduce risks of maxillofacial injuries.</p>
