The bivariate analyses included Chi-square and Fischer’s exact tests and binary logistic regression, with a 5% significance level. <strong>Results:</strong> Four hundred and seventy-five (43.7%) of the 1,088 medical records investigated corresponded to transport accidents, and accidents involving motorcycles were the most frequent (68.3%), affecting adolescents (81.3%), while children were more involved in accidents as pedestrians (57.1%). Advancing age increases the likelihood of the outcome, with a significant association in the multivariate analysis (p<0.001). The mandible was most frequently affected in maxillofacial fractures. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Transport accidents predominantly affect male adolescents, involving motorcycles, and the lower limbs are the most affected. The mandible was the most affected bone in maxillofacial fractures.</p>}, journal={Pesquisa Brasileira em Odontopediatria e Clínica Integrada}, author={da Silva, Naiana Braga and Rodrigues, Taynná Larissa Santos and Protasio, Ane Polline Lacerda and Cavalcanti, Alessandro Leite}, year={2023}, month={Feb.}, pages={e210113} }
