We aimed to systematically review the literature on the prevalence and causes of maxillofacial fractures in Iran to estimate the overall prevalence of maxillofacial fractures and the most common causes. </span></span></span></span></span><br>

Studies reporting the prevalence and causes of maxillofacial fractures in Iran were included in the analysis. MOOSE guidelines were adopted for the current systematic review. No data or language restriction were applied. Risk of bias across the articles was assessed.</span></span><span style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"></span></span></span></span></span><br>
<span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="line-height:150%"><span arial="" style="font-family:"><b><span style="line-height:150%"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times="">Results:</span></span></b><span style="line-height:150%"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times=""> A total of 32 studies comprising 35,720 patients were included in the analysis. The most common cause of maxillofacial fractures was road traffic accidents (RTAs), accounting for 68.97% of all cases, followed by falls (12.62%) and interpersonal violence (9.03%). The prevalence of maxillofacial fractures was higher in males (81.04%) and in the age group of 21-30 years (43.23%). Risk of bias across studies was considered low.</span></span></span></span></span><br>

These results highlight the need for increased efforts to prevent maxillofacial fractures in Iran, especially through measures to reduce the incidence of RTAs.</span></span><span style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"></span></span></span></span></span><br>
