Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the value of the MOXAIC classification in predicting the treatment outcomes of major soft tissue injuries (MFTs) in the maxillofacial region. Methods: A retrospective, cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 177 patients with MFTs of the maxillofacial region treated at VietDuc University Hospital from January 2017 to December 2022. MFTs in the maxillofacial region were classified according to the MOXAIC system (O, X, A, I, C). Treatment outcomes were evaluated based on anatomical and aesthetic. Results: O, A, and   C-shaped types have a high rate of good results, reaching over 78%, while types X-shaped and I-shaped have only less than 50% of good results; this difference is statistically significant (p < 0.001), showing that the MOXAIC classification has a good prognostic value for the treatment results of MFTs in the maxillofacial region. Conclusion: Wounds of the O, A, and C-shaped types, according to the MOXAIC classification, often have a better prognosis for treatment results.
