This study aimed to deliver a comprehensive 15-year epidemiological analysis of maxillofacial trauma cases in southern Hungary. Methods: The study included patients who received treatment for maxillofacial trauma at the University of P\u00e9cs from 2009 to 2023. Data collected encompassed demographic characteristics, injury etiology, fracture location and complexity, date of injury, presence of alcohol involvement, therapeutic interventions, postoperative complications and reasons, and number of fixation plates removed. Descriptive statistics and odds ratios were calculated, with statistical significance defined as p &lt; 0.05. Results: Among 1948 patients (69.9% male), a total of 2826 fractures were reported, averaging 1.45 fractures per patient. The most frequently affected age group was 21\u201330 years; however, a notable increase in cases among the elderly was observed for recent years. Falls accounted for the highest proportion of injuries (44.4%), followed by assaults (28.3%) and traffic accidents (16.8%). Injuries predominantly occurred on weekends, with Saturdays being particularly common. Alcohol consumption was documented in 14.7% of cases. The condyle (27.9%), body (25.7%), and angle (25.0%) were the most common sites of mandibular fracture. The maxillary sinus and zygomatic body were the leading sites of maxillofacial fractures. Conservative treatment was implemented in 54.6% of all cases, whereas surgical intervention was more frequently required for mandibular injuries (76.7%). Plate removal was performed in 15.3% of patients. Conclusions: During the study period, the incidence of maxillofacial trauma demonstrated a consistent increase, accompanied by demographic changes indicative of an aging population and a reduction in assault-related cases. Falls\u2014especially among older adults\u2014became the leading cause of injury. These results emphasize the necessity for targeted prevention efforts, geriatric-specific trauma management, and the implementation of health policies tailored to regional needs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm15010280","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,31]],"date-time":"2025-12-31T15:05:01Z","timestamp":1767193501000},"page":"280","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Maxillofacial Fractures in Southern Hungary: A 15-Year Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study of 1948 Patients"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0556-0229","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zsolt","family":"Rajnics","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Prosthodontics, Dental School, Faculty of Medicine, University of P\u00e9cs, T\u00fcz\u00e9r Str. 1., 7623 P\u00e9cs, Baranya, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Oliv\u00e9r","family":"Horv\u00e1th","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Prosthodontics, Dental School, Faculty of Medicine, University of P\u00e9cs, T\u00fcz\u00e9r Str. 1., 7623 P\u00e9cs, Baranya, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vikt\u00f3ria","family":"Horv\u00e1th","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Diagnostics, Dental School, Faculty of Medicine, University of P\u00e9cs, T\u00fcz\u00e9r Str. 1., 7623 P\u00e9cs, Baranya, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Parnia","family":"Salimian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Prosthodontics, Dental School, Faculty of Medicine, University of P\u00e9cs, T\u00fcz\u00e9r Str. 1., 7623 P\u00e9cs, Baranya, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0720-3770","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gyula","family":"Marada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Prosthodontics, Dental School, Faculty of Medicine, University of P\u00e9cs, T\u00fcz\u00e9r Str. 1., 7623 P\u00e9cs, Baranya, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6006-8758","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"J\u00f3zsef","family":"Szalma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Dental School, Faculty of Medicine, University of P\u00e9cs, T\u00fcz\u00e9r Str. 1., 7623 P\u00e9cs, Baranya, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"901","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bjoms.2014.08.007","article-title":"Aetiology of maxillofacial fractures: A review of published studies during the last 30 years","volume":"52","author":"Boffano","year":"2014","journal-title":"Br.
