    AbstractFor effective care, the severely injured patient may require the cooperative effort of many physicians and paramedical personnel. In the individual with isolated maxillofacial injury, adequate management may be provided by one or several specialists. In any event, there should be a plan for emergency, semiurgent, and delayed treatment. It is also important for each individual caring for the patient to understand and appreciate the problems within and outside his area of expertise. There is a logical progression of evaluation, with particular attention to the more severe and significant area of trauma. Hemmorrhage, shock, and airway problems take priority. Often the definitive treatment, from a cosmetic and functional standpoint, is delayed.
