In North America, blunt force trauma (a punch) is the leading cause of mandible fracture [37] whereas in India, motor vehicle collisions are now a leading cause. [38] On battle grounds, it is more likely to be high velocity injuries (bullets and shrapnel). [39]

In 2020, the ASMS launched the journal, FACE, [6] in collaboration with the American Society of Craniofacial Surgeons. This SAGE Publishing journal is dedicated to advancing the art and science of craniomaxillofacial surgery by disseminating evidence-based peer reviewed research.
The speciality then changed its name to American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS) from American Society of Oral Surgeons and Exodontists in 1978. AAOMS also played a key role in creating the first American edition of Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in 1943. AAOMS created this journal with help of ADA.
