For this research we used 56 individuals who suffered facial injuries with a maximum of 24 hours, over the course of 10 months. The etiology and age were classified into groups, according to the Statute of the Child and Adolescent ( ECA ) and the Brazilian Society of Pediatrics ( SBP). The victim of fractured of the facial bones, completed questionnaires multiple choice, matching the aspirations and difficulties highlighted by the same previously and after the treatment. The interpersonal aggression was the most common etiology , with 38.5 % of cases , occurring more frequently in adults , 40 % .
