The quality of life of patients who have suffered cranio-maxillofacial trauma is affected by the occurrence of anxiety and depression, largely because of the aesthetic consequences for patients on their social and professional life.
Aim: This article aims at identifying the occurrence of anxiety or depression in patients who have suffered cranio-maxillofacial traumas, hospitalized in the Sibiu County Emergency Clinical Hospital, in 2020.
Materials and methods: 24 patients answered to a questionnaire that assessed their level of depression and anxiety after having suffered craniomaxillofacial trauma.
Results: These pathologies bring about a strong impact on patients’ quality of life, but a reactively small number of the study patients presented depression symptoms. Anxiety was the dominant symptom in these patients with oro-maxillofacial trauma.
