In patients with a CHADS2

score of 0 to 1 aspirin is
acceptable therapy. With a
CHADS2 score of 2 or more,
oral anticoagulation with
warfarin or dabigatran is
recommended.

horizontal maxillary fracture, separating the teeth from the upper face
fracture line passes through the alveolar ridge, lateral nose and inferior wall of maxillary
sinus
Le Fort type 2
pyramidal fracture, with the teeth at the pyramid base, and nasofrontal suture at its apex
fracture arch passes through posterior alveolar ridge, lateral walls of maxillary sinuses,
inferior orbital rim and nasal bones
Le Fort type 3
craniofacial dysjunction
fracture line passes through nasofrontal suture, maxillo-frontal suture, orbital wall, and
zygomatic arch / zygomaticofrontal suture

Le Fort 1 is a floating palate

Le Fort 2 is a floating maxilla
Le Fort 3 is a floating face
