Abstract: Oral and maxillofacial trauma is a common disease in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Due to the treatment of craniocerebral trauma or limitation of regional medical technology, the optimal treatment opportunity for maxillofacial trauma may be missed. However, accurate treatment of maxillofacial trauma based on dental and maxillofacial function and facial reconstruction is a new requirement with the development of times. Relatively systematic oral and maxillofacial trauma treatment and management began in modern times, from the initial simple suture, splint ligation fixation and steel wire fixation, to titanium plate rigid internal fixation, and then to the precise restoration by digital technology. Oral and maxillofacial trauma treatment has made great progress. This paper reviews the development of oral and maxillofacial trauma, the application of digital technology, and prospects the future development trend.
